11. Specify this time span as starting at hour 0 and ending at hour 4. Remember that our
shift times are relative, so these times mean “start of shift” and “4 hours into shift
time.”
12. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
13. Create a second time span. Set the Value to Available and specify this time span as
starting at 4:30 and ending at 8.
14. Click OK to save your changes and return to the Time Patterns dialog. Because we set
the Default Value of the time pattern to Unavailable, the half hour between time
spans is unavailable (i.e., shows a capacity of 0 in the time pattern chart).
15. Now we will make two copies of Shift A. To make a copy of the time pattern, right
click on Shift A in the Time Patterns box and select Duplicate from the shortcut
menu. The new copy of the shift is displayed in the tree. Change the name of the new
shift to Shift B. Create another copy of Shift A and name it Shift C.
16. Click on Time Pattern Shift B to display its properties in the Time Patterns
window. Change its Report Name to Shift B and its Shift number to 2 so that data
collected during times covered by this time pattern will be logged under this reporting
information.
17. Edit Time Pattern Shift C to change its Report Name to Shift C and its Shift
number to 3.
