Configuring the smallest scheduling time interval

By default, events are snapped to the time bar grid in 30 minute increments. However, you can adjust the snap-to-grid interval to 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Set the smallest scheduling time interval to the minimum number of minutes you want to insert events into a schedule. For example, if you select 15 minutes as the smallest scheduling interval, you cannot insert events for an employee in increments smaller than 15 minutes.

The default scheduling interval is 15 minutes, which we recommend, as changing this to a smaller interval will increase the amount of time it takes for Schedule Builder to build schedules.

To configure the smallest scheduling time interval
  1. On the application menu, click Preferences.
  2. Click the General tab.
  3. Under Scheduling preferences, after Smallest scheduling interval, select the snap-to-grid time interval.
  4. If you want to prevent the user from manually making any change that would trigger a warning, select the Warnings are hard limits for the user check box.
  5. Click OK to save and close the Preferences window.
