Specify duration for work permit

Specify duration for work permit

The Duration is the length of the activation period for the work permit type, in hours. The default is 12 hours.

Different work permit types can have different durations; however the duration cannot exceed one 24 hour day.

A work permit type that spans across days will have a Duration for each day and a multiple Number of Periods.

Guidelines

• The Duration cannot exceed 24 hours.

• The Duration + Extended Activation together cannot exceed 24 hours.

In the Web application

When a user creates and processes a work permit in the OSM web application, this triggers a business rule to validate whether the dates being set are valid according to the set duration. If there is no set duration (value: empty), then there will be no validation for the duration.

Set the Duration for a work permit type

1. On the Main menu, double-click Work permit type.

   

2. On the Work permit type window, enter a number of hours in the Duration field. The default is 12 hours.

   This value determines how many hours the work permit is valid after is activated.
