The pattern for a schedule is the number of days when the same days on and days off cycle repeats itself. Listed below are example of different schedules.
A working schedule for every day, from Monday through Friday, and off on Saturday and Sunday is a seven-day schedule pattern. The first day of the pattern is Monday.
A working schedule for the three days on and three days off would be a six-day schedule pattern. The first day of the pattern is the day the schedule is due to start. This could be any day of the week. It is important to select the correct day because the cycle will repeat every six days, and the days on as opposed to the days off will be different every week.
A 9x80 schedule would be a fourteen-day pattern where every other Friday may be different.
