How Patterns Align with Start Dates
Patterns in Advanced Scheduling cycle from Day 1 to Day 7 and can be longer if you choose multiple weeks in your rotation. After the pattern is created, the date you select as the start date when assigning the pattern to a line becomes Day 1, and the rest of the pattern follows from that point forward until the end date.
Examples
- If you start the pattern on Sunday, then Day 1 is Sunday and Day 7 falls on Saturday.
- If you start the pattern on Monday, then Day 1 is Monday and Day 7 falls on Sunday.
- If you start the pattern on Tuesday, then Day 1 is Tuesday and Day 7 falls on Monday.
Notes
- The start date you select determines which calendar day becomes Day 1 in the pattern.
- The pattern always starts from Day 1 onward, regardless of which day of the week it is.
- This behaviour applies to single-week and multi-week rotations.
- To test or preview a pattern, add it to a line and verify which day of the week your pattern falls.
