Overview

You might want to set up multiple schedules if your business operates out of different physical locations/regions or you want to build separate schedules for different teams/departments.

Creating schedules

1. Near the top-right corner of the page, hover your pointer over the gear menu Gear menu, then click Schedules.
2. Click Add Schedule.
3. Add a Name for the schedule.
4. Configure the remaining schedule settings as necessary:
   1. To add a guideline for the maximum scheduled hours at this schedule per week, enter the number of hours in Max Hours / Week.
      This value is intended for comparison purposes–When I Work doesn’t prevent you from scheduling more hours.
   2. Enter the schedule’s Address or Custom Coordinates. See Adding Latitude/Longitude for Geolocation for more information on how to enter custom coordinates. Once entered, make sure the map visualization displays the correct location.
   3. If you’re using Time Clock & Attendance and you want to allow employees to clock in from their work computers, set the IP Address. See our article on clocking in from a work computer for more information.
5. Click Add Schedule.
