Once the employee is added to the view, a grid displaying the selected employees is displayed with the schedules for the selected from date and the next 7 days.
This view allows to perform the schedule maintenance actions

- The icon highlighted in green will open the dialog to enter a new schedule for that employee
- The icon highlighted in brown will open the dialog to enter a new schedule for any of the employees selected in the view
When the icon for adding a schedule for any employee is selected, it will open the dialog allowing to pick the employee from the list of displayed employees.
When the schedule is added for a particular employee, that information will be pre-populated.

- Apply Workgroup rules: This option replaces the “Default Profiles”. Allows to apply Workgroup rules to the employee only one time. The employee is not bound to the Workgroup and any future change will have no impact on the employee.
- Unlock All: Switches all locks to “unlocked” position.
- Lock All: Switches all locks to “locked” position.
