How to manage Application Service usage time

[miyu]

Records are managed by Application Service.
I would like to add a field to manage the time the Application Service is available.
For example, "24 hours a day, 7 days a week" or "7:00-22:00 on weekdays".
Is there a way to properly manage this type of information?
I am quiet about adding a field that refers to the cmn_schedule table, is this policy correct?

Hi @miyu ,

Yes, you can add a field to your Application Service table to manage the time it is available. Using a field that refers to the cmn_schedule table is a good approach to achieve this.

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Add a new field to your Application Service table. You can name it "Availability Schedule" or something similar.

2. Set the field type to "Reference" and choose "Schedule [cmn_schedule]" as the table reference.

3. Add the field to the form view and configure it to display the schedule in a user-friendly way, such as "24 hours a day, 7 days a week" or "7:00-22:00 on weekdays".

4. When creating or updating an Application Service record, the user can select the appropriate schedule from the reference field to indicate when the service is available.

5. You can also use the cmn_schedule table to create and manage the schedules. This will allow you to reuse schedules across multiple Application Services, and also provide a centralized place to manage schedules.

6. In addition to the Availability Schedule field, you can also add other fields to track the service usage time, such as "Total usage time" or "Average usage time per user".
