Use day parts in scheduling

Create day parts and use them as preferred planning windows on work orders.

Day parts let you define preferred planning windows like morning, afternoon, or a specific weekday.

They help planners schedule work inside the right time range.

Before you can use day parts on a work order, create the available options in settings.

Go to Settings and search for Day parts.

Click Add.

Add a unique code, a name, and a description.

Then set the start time, end time, sequence number, and the days this day part applies to.

Save the record.

Repeat this for each day part you need.

When you create or edit a work order, add the preferred day part in the left column.

Use the + button to add the selected day part to the work order.

You can also add a preferred date or preferred start and end time when your process needs more detail.

Why can I not select preferred days on the work order?

Check whether the preferred date and preferred time fields are enabled in the work order screen configuration.

Do I need to save each day part separately?

Yes.

Create and save each day part you want to offer.
