Scheduling: Default Day Booking Hours

"All Day" Hours in Cirkus

You can now configure the default hours for your team, and your day Bookings will span only those hours, instead of 24 hours.

You set these hours at Workspace level.

You can optionally override the Workspace setting, and configure for individual Members or Resources.

Note: Scheduling Bookings which respect these hours is only available when scheduling on the Mac and iOS apps, coming soon to the web at cirkus.com. However web users will see the correct scheduled hours on their Schedule.

Note: These hours apply when you make an “All Day” booking, or a booking that spans multiple days. You can still override the specific hours at a zoom level where hours can be selected.

Let’s take a look

Making "All Day" Bookings

If you have setup the “All Day Hours” value for your workspace or members, it will apply to full day bookings, or multi-day bookings.

You can still select the specific hours if you are at a zoom level where hours can be selected.

Example 1: All day bookings book the whole 24 hours.
– No Workspace or Member “All Day hours” are set. 

example 1 - no all day setting

 

Example 2:  All team and resources work 09:00-18.00
–  Workspace “All Day Hours” are enabled, and set to 09:00 – 18:00.

Example 3:  Most of the team work 09:00-18.00, but Jim only works mornings.
– Workspace “All Day Hours” are enabled, and set to 09:00 – 18:00, and Jim has a custom setting where his All Day Hours are set to 09.00-13.00.

Member All Day Hours 

Example 4:  Explicitly book Jim for a longer day.
– Workspace and member hours are set, but by zooming in to day view, or a zoom level where the hours are selectable, you can schedule this.
