Typical week
Resources > Typical week

A standard week can be used to define availability schedules that can be applied to a set without the need to define these availabilities specifically for each member of the set.

A typical week is presented in the form of a graphic calendar, which can be easily updated.

Standard days and times can be configured in the module settings (all settings whose code begins with ST_).

As an initial application, this typical week can be applied to an optimization model, and will make it possible to define the availability schedules of technicians globally, without having to define them for each individual technician.

Export and duplicate actions are available through the function.
