Field Description
Name Enter the title of the shift you want to create. This text appears in the list
of shifts and in the Shift drop-downs in the main Production Monitoring™
web site.
Period Day The Period Day for a shift is the specific day within the shift schedule that
this shift occurs.
For example, if the shift schedule has seven period days, and this individual
shift occurs on period day five, then it will only occur on the fifth day of the
shift schedule. You would enter 5 in this Period Day field. This allows you to
have a shift occur on Day One, Day Three and Day Five of a shift schedule,
without happening on any other day.
TIP | When defining a shift schedule, you want to determine the shortest
repeating shift possible.
For example, Advanced Manufacturing uses the exact same shift every day.
Their Shift Schedule has 1 in the Period Days field and each of the defined
shifts has 1 in the Period Day field.
United Manufacturing, on the other hand, has a weekly repeating Shift
Schedule. The Period Days field on the Shift Schedule has a 7. Each shift
within that Shift Schedule must be defined for each of those seven days
with a Period Day of 1 to 7. They would have 21 individual shift entries
