Start from: The Workforce module.
The base configuration of indirect work is done through the Workforce Configuration module. However, there is a simple way to make changes or additions to this base configuration through the Projected Shift screen, thus allowing a clearer visualization of needs by time slot.
To learn how to perform the standard Indirect Labor configuration, see Configure Indirect Work.

-
Select the Work Center where you want to set up indirect labor.

Select New to create a new weekly shift.
Notes: You can configure a weekly shift that has already been created by selecting the Arrow icon. If the icon is blue, it means that there is already data saved in that week.
