Teams

Schedule periods are associated to teams and, when the team is retrieved in the staffing requirements or the MVS, the system retrieves the correct schedule period based on team assignment and the date selected.

A team can have only one schedule period associated with it, but a schedule period can be associated with more than one team. When associating a schedule period to a team you can also apply the same schedule period for all its sub-teams by selecting the Apply to sub teams check box. If a schedule period is not explicitly associated with a team or not inherited from the parent team, the default schedule period is used. If a schedule period currently associated to some teams is deleted, those teams revert to being associated with the default schedule period. The default schedule period cannot be deleted, though it can be edited.

For example, if you have set a schedule period's start date to Jan 5, 2005 (and assuming the default schedule period duration of one week), then your first schedule period is Jan 5 - 11. Subsequent schedule periods are calculated to be: Jan 12 - 18, Jan 19 - 25, Jan 26 - Feb 2, Feb 3 - 9, and so on. When you click on a date in the MVS or the staffing requirements, the system automatically knows which schedule period that date resides within, and retrieves the appropriate schedule period.
