Creating a location calendar

Location shop calendars can be shared among users. These shop calendars can be used to calculate the tasks for users who belong to the same region.

These calendars do not have a base calendar.

When you define a location calendar, the properties from the @DFLTSHOP calendar are copied to the location calendar. Create rules can be used to copy properties from calendars other than the @DFLTSHOP calendar.

  1. Select Shop Calendar.
  2. Click Create New Object. Specify a code for the location. It can be any name; it does not have to match the name of an actual location in Optiva.
  3. In the Main tab, specify this criteria.
    Description
    Specify a description.
    Calendar Type
    Select Location Calendar.
    User/Location
    Specify a valid location, such as US-NORTHEAST. For a given location, there can be only one shop calendar that is associated with that location.
    Class

    The choices are defined in the C_CALENDARCLASS enumerated list.

  4. Change the criteria in the Standard Work Time grid to suit your business requirements.

    Initially, these values come from the @DFLTSHOP calendar.

    Specify the non-workdays and add the start times and end times for each workday.

    Location calendars require a seven day week. Do not delete any days from this grid.

    In this example, the non-workdays are Saturday and Sunday. For Monday through Friday, the working hours are 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

    In the Standard Work Time grid, you can specify one start and end time for a workday or more than one start and end time. For example, users in one location only work from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Tuesday; but they work a full day the rest of the week with an hour lunch break.

  5. Specify the work overrides in the Work Time Overrides grid.
    1. Click the calendar date.
    2. Click Add Row.
    3. Specify a description. If you select Yes for the Work Day, specify the start and end times.
  6. Click Save.
