User Work Schedules - Bi Weekly

Posted on by RugerSR762 375

Does anyone know if OOB you may set up a recurring work schedule for a resource bi-weekly rather than weekly or one day?  If not, is there any recommendation as to how to accomplish this?

    I just came looking for the answer to this question - still appears that only daily/weekly/monthly recurrences are possible in URS, does anyone have a workaround for 'Steve' who now has every other Friday off?

    Creating bi-weekly scheduling of "Work Hours" isn't currently supported through the Out of the Box (OOB) options. However, there are effective alternative methods you can explore:

    Using "Bulk Update Workhours" in XRM Toolbox: If you're comfortable with using third-party tools, the "Bulk Update Workhours" tool within XRM Toolbox can be immensely helpful. This tool allows you to modify work schedule patterns, enabling you to create an "every other week" pattern for your scheduling needs.

    Another option is to consider creating custom code to achieve the desired bi-weekly schedules. Probably programmatically using the API it could be possible, you can experiment with the available APIs, out of the box this is not possible from the UI. Here are the API’s to programmatically update calendars, you can experiment with this Edit work hour calendars by using APIs in Dynamics 365 Field Service | Microsoft Docs
     
    In my own projects, I've found the "Bulk Update Workhours" tool in XRM Toolbox to be efficient. However, it's worth noting that some users may not have access to or be comfortable using such tools. For those cases, developing custom code can be a viable solution.
