Calendar totals

Calendar totals

Your system administrator can create a custom calendar to display certain totals in the grid or timeline layout. This is dependent on what data type has been set up to be displayed. The following data types need to be used to display calendar totals:

Shift data type totals

A custom calendar using this data type will have totals based on Shift standard hours:


  • Planned work — the sum of the standard hours for planned shifts

  • Planned work days — the sum of the days that contain a planned shift

  • Planned absence days — the sum of the days that contain a planned absence

Note: available on calendars with an absence data type

  • Planned absence — the sum of absence hours during a planned shift

Note: available on calendars with shift and absence data types

  • Planned attendance (%) — the percentage of work days with no planned absences

Note: available on calendars with shift and absence data types


Work record data type totals

A custom calendar displaying a Work record data type allows you to view costing totals using Work records:


  • Actual absence — the sum of absence hours in actual work records i.e. work records that have been processed

  • Actual pay — the monetary amount an employee is paid

  • Actual work —the sum of the worked hours in actual work records i.e. work records that have been processed

  • Planned break budget — the sum of any break hours in planned work records that contain standard hours

  • Planned pay — the monetary amount an Employee is planned to be paid

  • Planned work — the sum of the worked hours in planned work records

  • Planned work days — the sum of days on which a planned work record starts

  • Planned absence days — the sum of the days that contain a planned absence

  • Planned absence — the sum of absence hours in planned work records

  • Planned attendance (%) — the percentage of time that an Employee is not absent on a planned work day


Note: if you have access, your pay is defined in the Pay details section in your Employee panels.


Below is an example of a custom calendar (called Work planner) with a Work record data type displaying the totals for an Employee:
