Office Hours Assumptions

You can set how your organization defines work hours and workdays in the Office Hours Assumptions tab.

To define office hours assumptions settings, go to the Systems Lifecycle Domain. From the navigation tree, click Power Management > Manage Assumptions > Manage Custom Assumptions Tasks.

Click the Office Hours Assumptions tab. You can create, edit, and delete assumptions from this tab.

The following columns are displayed in the Office Hours Assumptions tab:

Name
Office Hours
- Start Time
- End Time
Workdays
Outside Office Hours
- Workdays
- Weekends
Computers

By default, in the Office Hours column, the Start Time is set to 09:00 AM and the End Time is set to 06:00 PM. The workdays are also set, by default, from Monday to Friday.

Note: If power tracking is deployed before setting new office hours assumptions, the default start time, end time, and work days settings are used.

Creating Office Hours Assumptions

To create an office hour assumption, click New Assumption.

A row is added. Enter the name of the new assumption in the Name field. Define the office hours by selecting the Start Time and End Time.

Under the Workdays column, click the All days drop-down menu and click to select the applicable days.

Click Create Task.

The Create Task window opens. Click OK to create the task.

Click in the Actions box of the task window to deploy the action.

Deleting Office Hours Assumptions

To delete existing office hours assumptions, go to the Office Hours Assumptions tab. Select the assumption and click the Delete.

Click Delete to confirm deletion of the Assumption Fixlet. The Confirm Remove popup appears. Click OK to confirm the removal of the task. The assumption task is now deleted.
