Set Maximum Hours for Sites
The Maximum Hours feature allows organizations to define the maximum number of scheduled hours permitted for a Site within a specific time period. These limits help organizations control staffing levels and prevent Sites from being scheduled beyond operational requirements.
Find Maximum Hours
Maximum Hours can be configured within the Site profile under:
Manage Sites → Select Site → Max Hours
Use Maximum Hours
The Max Hours section allows Users to configure scheduling limits for Sites based on operational requirements.
Maximum Hours can be configured for:

Validations for Maximum Hours
When a Site is scheduled beyond its configured Maximum Hours, Schedule Xpress will generate a validation as either a warning or an error, depending on system configuration.
These validations help organizations control scheduled Site hours, manage staffing allocations, and maintain operational scheduling rules.
