The planning situation
A helpdesk extends some service windows during an examination period.
The constraint to resolve
Extending opening hours makes all staff appear available for the extra hours.
Set up this specific workflow
Create the approved period with its real opening window and retain each employee's separate availability profile.
Work in the workforce shifts workspace. Use your organisation’s actual dates, timezone and opening hours. Presets are editable starting points; they do not supply a country’s calendar or verify organisational policies.
Check the result before publishing
Compare unplaced work with actual staffing capacity; extra service hours require an agreed staffing solution.
Resolve unplaced activities and reported conflicts, inspect the relevant people and resource views, and publish the reviewed version deliberately.
