Setting Working Hours / Reference Shifts

Part-time staff should list their shifts on the team calendar. This helps all team members keep track of who is working each day.

To list your shift(s):

  1. On the team calendar, click New Appointment.
  2. Type [Your Name] AALs in the Title field.
  3. Enter the Start time and End time of your first shift.
  4. If this time occurs regularly, which is common with part-time staff, click on Recurrence.
  5. Set the Recurrence pattern for the event. For example, if I work reference on Mondays from 7 AM to 3 PM, I would set a Weekly recurrence that occurs every 1 week on Monday with No end date. Click OK once the recurrence is set.
  6. Near the top of the appointment, select Free in the Show As drop-down.
  7. Under Reminder, choose None.
  8. Under Categorize, select your name.
  9. Save & Close your entry.
  10. If you have days where your working hours vary, you will need to create a new appointment for each variance.
