In the manufacturing industry, it is common to occasionally need an extra Shift to meet delivery deadlines.
To add extra time in SkyPlanner:
- Click on Resources and select Shift Scheduling
Here, you will see a general calendar of your work shifts.
- Workstations are listed alphabetically on the left side.
- Shifts are displayed in different colors (you can edit these colors in Default Shifts):
- Inside each Shift, you will see the worker or group employees assigned (if any of this options have been set up) to the Workstation.
If you look closely, each Shift has a plus (+) icon when you hover over a day, including weekends.
- Click on the plus (+) icon on Saturday, which we will use as an example.
- A new option will appear to add an extra Shift for this day.
- You can assign an individual worker or a group of employees to this Shift. In this case, we will choose Adam Smith.
- You can also select your default shifts or set custom working hours
Since it is Saturday, we will allow Adam to start at 10:00 AM and finish at 3:00 PM.
- Finally, click Save.
Now, Adam appears in the calendar as during Saturday.
If you go to the GANTT Timeline, your extra Shift will appear on the day you selected, in our example, during Saturday.
Remember to click the King Button so the Schedule is updated.
