Note:
Please be informed that the below configurations are done on Ingress software, as shown in the accompanying images. However, this can also be applied in TCMSV3 to achieve comparable results, as the configuration is similar with only a slight difference in the interface.
1. Create a daily schedule for the morning shift. Fill in the IN and OUT column, for example: IN-07:00 OUT-15:00.
2. Create a daily schedule for the evening shift. Fill in the IN and OUT column, for example: IN-15:00 OUT-23:00.
3. Create a daily schedule for the night shift. Fill in the IN and OUT column, for example: IN-23:00 OUT-07:00.
4. Create a weekly group duty roster for the open schedule roster. Go to Open Schedule Shift Roster > Edit > Auto Schedule > Assign the clocking schedules 1, 2 and 3 and the Day Type column.
5. Once done, click OK and Save. It will not show any clocking schedules in this particular roster. This is due to the system that automatically allocates the appropriate shift for each user based on the verification time in the attendance sheet.
Note: The schedules' timing must not overlap each other. For example, if you have shifts from 10am – 5pm and 3pm to 10am, the open schedule function will not work.
