7. In the Schedule Patterns grid, you can use the Add Row and Subtract Row buttons to add or delete weeks from the schedule pattern.
   
   

   Note

   Example: If you wanted to give a worker Friday off every other week, you would create a second row on the grid and enter no hours for Friday. The work schedule will alternate between the two schedule rows.

8. In the Order column, use the arrows to move rows up and down within the grid.
9. To define shift start and end times, click the Pattern Details button on the right side of the row.
   
   
   
10. Before you begin defining pattern details, you will need to select a Schedule Pattern Type.
    1. If you are defining a simple schedule with only one meal, the default selection of Single Shift and Meal is appropriate.
    2. If you need to define multiple shifts or multiple meals, select Multiple Shifts and Meals.
       
       
       
       

11. Define the start and end times for shifts and meals each day, or indicate a 24-hour shift by selecting the 24-Hour Shift checkbox.
    

    Note
