What's a primary work schedule?

The schedule used to identify an individual's work availability.

For example, you assign two schedules for different time periods to someone's primary work assignment. So that those schedules identify the person's work availability for those time periods, you need to set both schedules to Primary. If you assign only a single work schedule, that schedule automatically identifies the person's work availability.

You manage work schedules using the Work Schedule Assignment task in the Person Management work area.
