Handling Shift Profiles

You may have a scenario where crews are rostered to work on different shift rotations, e.g.

3 crews work day shift (4:00 - 14:00) on a 4 days on - 2 days off rotation.
2 crews work day shift on 2 days off - 4 days on.
2 crews work evening shift (14:00 - 0:00) on a 4 days on - 2 days off rotation.
2 crews work evening shift on a 2 days off - 4 days on rotation.

The best way to configure DTS for this is to vary the resource availability over time showing the total number of crews available at each time period:

Time From	Number of crews

7 Jan 2013 14:00	2
