  3. Choose the Breaks tab page.

  4. Create the new break pattern, for example, lunch, and assign a break number (dependent on how many breaks you want to define for the day).

    There are two ways to define breaks:

    • You specify the start and end of the break.

    • You specify the number of hours after which you want the break to take place and enter the duration of the break. The reference point is always the beginning of the shift.

      If you want to define a recurrent break, for example, a break for every 2 hours, you must define a break for 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and so on after the shift begins (taking into account the duration of any previous breaks).

  5. Choose the Shifts tab page.

  6. Enter a description for the shift, a validity end, and a start and end for the shift. Assign your break pattern to this shift.

    Note Note

    The system takes into account shift factors only for handling resources.
