Working schedules

FogBugz allows you to specify a site-wide working schedule, along with individual team members' working schedules when they differ.

Any administrator can set a site-wide working schedule. Go to the Settings menu and choose Site Working Schedule. The site-wide working schedule is used:

Each user can also set their own personal working schedule by going to the Settings menu and choosing Working Schedule. The personal working schedule is used:

Adminstrators can access individual users' working schedules via the Users page. Choose Users from the Settings menu, find the user, and click on the small calendar icon next to their name.

% time spend on FogBugz tasks

This number is used to adjust the schedules of people who do not spend all of their working day on things which are tracked in FogBugz. For example:

This number should be entered between 1% and 100%. Be careful about entering very low numbers. If you set it to 1%, even a one day feature will be assumed to take 100 days.

Working Days

Determines which days of the week normally worked.

The value entered here on the site working schedule only determines the default for new FogBugz users. It does not affect existing users.

Daily Schedule

Determines the hours that you normally work, and if and when you have a lunch break.

On the site working schedule, this section determines the default daily schedule for new users. However, changing these values will not affect existing users.

The site daily schedule is also used to convert between hours and days when typing estimates, so, for example, if you work 8 hours a day, entering estimates of "8h" or "1d" are the same.

Holidays and Vacations

On the site working schedule, allows you to enter and edit holidays when nobody will be working. For accurate schedules, enter all the planned holidays for the next couple of years, and keep this up to date.

For individual users, this section shows both site holidays and personal vacations. Users can enter and edit their upcoming planned vacations. Site holidays are read-only.
