  6. Drag and drop work order activities to selected employee calendar days. The system creates the appropriate labor schedule record.
    Note: Drag more than one work order activity at a time to an employee calendar day. The system creates a labor schedule record for each work order activity for the employee calendar day.

    Drag one employee calendar day to another calendar day for same employee, e.g., drag Wednesday to Friday. The system updates the scheduled date for each labor schedule record(s) on the dragged employee calendar day.

    Drag one employee calendar day to another employee calendar day. The system deletes the labor schedule record(s) on the dragged employee calendar day and creates the necessary labor schedule records on the dropped employee calendar day.
