Work patterns define when and how a worker is expected to work. There are several types of work patterns: Start and End Times, Duration, Flexible Days, and Flexible Days and Times. Each of these patterns has different characteristics, with an increasing amount of flexibility. The flexible patterns are used for Workforce Scheduling.
There are 3 basic steps to configure a work pattern. The first step is to create the work pattern types, which define the structure of your work pattern.
