Functions can be planned in function groups that can be connected to your Time schedule, have their own time, or have a duration.
Adding functions to groups helps you save time. When you create a function group for a specific time, all the functions in that group will be linked to the times of that schedule. Therefore, you will not have to add a time for each function manually.
Furthermore, because function groups can be connected to your project's time schedule, you will not need to manually adjust the time settings for each function when you update your project's time schedule.
How you use function groups
Function groups offer various usage options. You can employ them to organize shifts, grouping functions that occur during a particular shift within a single function group. Alternatively, you can arrange functions by topic, grouping similar functions within a specific shift, such as grouping crew members from stage 1 in shift 1.
