The fixed hours list is an alternative option for filling in Week grid hours. This list only maintains completed hours and not start- and end times. Time slots are booked automatically from the start time of the working day. The fixed hours list shows unique aspect combinations based on bookings in previous weeks, expanded with favorites data. The standard for this function is to go back one week retrospectively. If you need a longer period, you can go to Personal settings. You can also use this setting to determine how you wish times to be shown; as time in hours and minutes, or as decimal hours.

The cross over point of the aspect combination and the day shows the number of hours booked for this aspect combination. The selected cell at this point is clearly displayed with a blue border. For this selected cell (hours booking) the user-defined fields are shown at the bottom of the screen.

Entering of certain cells can be disabled when, due to changed settings, combinations of aspects as shown in the fixed hour list have become invalid. Also if there are multiple underlying bookings for one cell, a cell can be disabled if one of those bookings contains a fixed price or if the user fields for the bookings contain different values.

Navigation to another week can be done in the same way as for the Week grid.

N.B.: Because the fixed hours list does not have start- and end times, multiple bookings with the same aspect combinations and those booked on the same day will be combined.

The buttons have the following functions:

Button(s)	Function
	Make a new appointment/booking (for the current day, directly following any previously entered booking).
	Copy all booking in current week to another week.
	Use this button to start a stopwatch to record the time used for a task in progress. After stopping the stopwatch the recorded time will be registered.
	Indicate where someone worked on which day. The reporting module contains a number of separate workplace reports.

Booking hours

There is a column for each day of the week and a row for every combination of aspects on which you can create bookings. At crossover points the completed hours can be entered.

Hour display

Depending on Personal settings times can be displayed as time in minutes or decimal hours. A combination of entry modes is possible. Imagine that the display is set up as ‘Minutes’ and you want to enter times as ‘Decimal times’. It is possible to enter 1.5 or 1:30 and both will be shown as 90.

Marking aspect combination as favorite

By activating the ‘tick’ for the required aspect combination in the Favorites column, you will ensure that this combination will always appear in the fixed hours list, even if there are no bookings for this combination yet.

Searching

Typing text into the text box filter_tekstvak above the list, will limit the list to those aspect combinations that correspond to the typed in text.

Selecting columns

If you never enter hours for Saturdays and Sundays for instance, you can hide these columns via the column chooser. Click on knop_grid_instellingen next to the search text box and next, click on the knop_kolomkiezer button in the opened menu. Remove the ticks next to the columns that you need to be hidden. Note that hours booked on the days being hidden will be added to the weekly total.
