4. Press the OK button.

Create an Attribute

4. Select the Is Fixed option.
5. Select where this attribute will apply by clicking Employee Organizational Unit under the Available column.
6 Select Scope from the drop-down menu and press Save.

Assign an Employee to an Attribute

1. Click on the Administration tab
2. Select Employee Management option in the Employee Management section.
3. Click Edit  next to the desired employee.
4. Press on the plus sign tab  and select the Organizational Unit Attributes option.
5. In Organizational Unit Attributes tab, press the + Add New  button to add an attribute to employee.
6. From the drop-down menu  select the Organizational Unit for which the attribute will apply
7. Set a Validity Period if necessary and select shift, from the drop-down menu of your previously created attribute.

Note: This configuration creates a default duration that is deducted from 
employee's allowed leave balance regardless of what employee's first preference 
base schedule shift duration indicates. Once this default duration is set 
(in a form of an attribute), it will override the employee's first preference 
base schedule shift duration.
