About multiple calendar support
In Visma Net, you can define and maintain multiple calendars in the system.
Calendars are used
for a variety of purposes, including the following:
- Labour calculations performed for contracts and projects
- Effective scheduling of events
- Tracking the movement of goods through carriers involved in shipping to and from your company
- Escalation of work items automatically assigned to specific work groups
Calendars can be defined in the Work calendar (CS209000) window.
For each employee calendar, you can define the week's work days and specify
working hours for each day. On the Exceptions tab, you can define holidays,
which pre-empt work days or shift them to a day when the employee generally does not
work, and specify any change in working hours for a particular date.
If the calendar is used for a carrier rather than an employee, specify on which days goods are moved.
In the Employees (EP203000) window, you can associate
calendars with particular employees, such as salespersons or members of customer
service and support work groups.
If a calendar will be used by others, the employee
should mark his or her calendar as public by using the User settings (SM203010) window.
An employee's calendar can also be used for labour calculation if the employee works in
customer support or on projects.
Work time and overtime are calculated automatically
for time cards when the employee spends time working on a case or a project task, if
the service contract or project allow invoice-able tasks and activities.
To organise work more efficiently, employees who work together should share
information about their free and busy times.
They can do this in the following ways:
- In Visma Net, users can export their calendar, which shows their free and busy time, and email the resulting file to involved persons.
- Users can export their calendar data from MS Outlook and import it to Visma Net (in .cvs format).
MS Outlook continues to periodically update the .cvs file when changes are made in Outlook.
