General Shift Schedule Information
When you click the Edit icon ( ) next to a shift on the Shift Schedule screen (Figure 4.10 on page 4.11), the
system displays the basic information for the Shift Schedule and allows you to access the Details (or list of
shifts) for that Shift Schedule. The General section of the Shift Schedule establishes the basis for creating
individual shifts for this schedule (Figure 4.11). Table 4.1 explains the fields in more detail.

Field Description
Description The Description field is text that helps you identify this Shift Schedule if you have
multiple schedules in the list.
Base Date For complex Shift Schedules, the Base Date defines what date and day of the week
the system should use as the starting date for the schedule. This field is not
necessary for simple schedules where every day has the same setup.
Period Days The Period Days define how many days are in the Shift Schedule before the
schedule repeats.
For example, Advanced Manufacturing has a simple Shift Schedule where every day
is the same, every week. They would set the Period Days on their Shift Schedule
to 1.
United Engineering, on the other hand, has a more complex setup with two shift
alternating each weekend. They would set the Period Days for their Shift Schedule
to 14, since the pattern repeats every 14 days.
