Managing Work Patterns in PeopleXD
Work patterns in PeopleXD are essential for defining employee schedules and operational workflows. However, there are specific limitations and processes to be aware of when managing these patterns. This article provides an overview of how to handle work patterns, including setting them to inactive and understanding their visibility.
Overview of Work Pattern Management
Work patterns in PeopleXD cannot be deleted once they are created. If a work pattern is no longer needed, the recommended approach is to set it to inactive. This ensures that the pattern is not used in future operations while retaining its visibility in the system for reference purposes.
Steps to Set a Work Pattern to Inactive
Navigate to the work pattern management section in PeopleXD.
Locate the work pattern you wish to deactivate.
Change the status of the work pattern to "Inactive."
Once a work pattern is inactive, it will no longer be available for use in scheduling or other operations. However, it will remain visible in the system interface.
Limitations of Work Pattern Management
Deletion: Work patterns cannot be deleted once created. This ensures that historical data and references remain intact.
Visibility: Even when set to inactive, work patterns cannot be hidden or archived. They will continue to appear in the configuration or management interface.
