Now that we have built our shift time patterns, we can use them to build the Work Day
time pattern.
1. With the Time Patterns dialog open, create a new time pattern and name it Work Day.
2. Leave the Report Name and Shift fields blank; data will be recorded using the report
information defined in the individual shift time patterns that we will reference in the
time spans.
3. Create a time span for the first shift in this time pattern. In the Time Span dialog,
select Time Pattern from the Value Type drop-down and Shift A from the Value
drop-down. The Time Span dialog uses the 0 hour to represent 12:00 midnight. Set
the Start time to 0 (midnight) and the End time to 8 (8:00 AM). The Shift A time
span should look like the example below:
4. Press OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
5. Create a time span for Shift B. Start the shift at 8. We want this time span to end at
4:00 PM, and because times must be entered in a 24-hour format, specify this time
span as ending at 16.
