Add New Code

The Add New Code option is used to enter a new scheduled activity for an employee. This option is also used when you want to add a second activity to the same schedule cell.

To add a new code to one or more cells, complete the following steps:

1. In the schedule grid, highlight the appropriate cell or cells .

   A range of cells can be selected by holding Shift as you click or by clicking and dragging. These cells can span multiple days in a row and across multiple employees. Alternatively, click an employee's name to select all the days for that employee, or click a day in the date header to select all the employees for that day.

2. Use one of following methods to add schedule:

   • Right-click to display the menu and select Add New Code. OR

   • From the tool bar, select the Edit menu, then the Add New Code option.

   The outline of an activity box is shown in the cell.

3. Type the activity code or pay and press Enter.

   • Activity code: enter the activity code, such as 0700-8

     To change the employee's default profile, type the activity code, a delimiter, and the profile code. For example, type 0700-8 CH to change from the default RN profile to a Charge profile.

   • Pay code: enter the pay code, start time, and length in hours (all separated by delimiters), such as PTO 0000 24 (for PTO starting at midnight and lasting 24 hours)

     Leading zeros and colons in the time are not required. For example, these are all acceptable entries: 0700, 07:00, 700, and 7:00

     A decimal point in the hours value is allowed. For example, these are all acceptable entries: 8, 8.0, 8.5, and 8.50

   Delimiters are characters that separate strings of text or numbers. Delimiters can be spaces, commas, or semicolons.

   Examples: 0700-8 CH or PTO,0000,24 or PTO;0000;
