Use this function to define a working pattern, also known as a shift pattern, for a single (unspecified) day of the week. 

The time table schema uses the 24 hour clock. Use it to define the actual start time and actual end time of a working day or shift. Within the start and end time you can define breaks in the shift such as lunch breaks, shift change times and incidents that regularly affect a working day such as machine downtime.

Each schema can be attributed, as required, to multiple days of a working week. The individual weekly working patterns are defined in the Weekly structures function (GESTWD).

Screen management

The Time table schemas function contains a single screen into which you define the working hours for a standard working day.

Header

Use this section to assign a code to, and a description of, the schema. You should consider its purpose and name the schema accordingly as it can be attributed, as required, to multiple days of a working week. For example, a common manufacturing working pattern is to work four days and to have 3 days off. A suitable schema code for this scenario might be 4ON3OFF.

Short title used in the screens and reports. This title is recorded in your connection language.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

  • Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
  • In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

SEEINFO The connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.

Time table schema (field NUM)
