Periods

Modified on: Tue, 5 Oct, 2021 at 8:05 AM

The user can create new periods here based on the information provided in Period Rules.

These are typically for Roster periods but may be used for other period definitions later on.

The rules drop down come from the Period RULES

The CREATE button will create a new Period based on the selected rule and reference date. The reference date will automatically detect the next start date for the selected rule.

The dates shown in green indicate that the roster period has been published and on which date.
