On the ribbon, go to Tools > Options > General > Labour.
This is where you define the actual working hours in Jim2. There are also some other labour options which can be set on this page.
Working Hours
Your actual hours of operation need to be set here. Unproductive hours, such as evenings or weekends, should not be included. Jim2 operates in a real-time environment of hours and minutes. Jim2 uses these actual hours to automatically calculate dates at an object level. As an example, when scheduling jobs using these settings, Jim2 ensures only productive hours are considered in due dates, etc.
|
You can set an entire day as a non-work day by simply deleting the start and end times, as shown for Saturday and Sunday in the image above. For those who work seven days a week, Saturday and Sunday can be displayed individually (rather than combined) in the Schedule.
