Additional Times (Activities)
Management of additional times (activities): create, edit, filter and delete additional driving time rules (breaks, rest periods) in multiple languages.
The Additional Times (Activities) are master data used to record and manage additional rules relating to driving time – for example breaks and rest periods. They provide a reusable list of named entries that are stored in multiple languages and assigned to a planning group. The management of this page is reserved for Administrators.
1. Navigation
The additional times (activities) are accessible via the main menu under Master Data › Additional Times (Activities).
Note: This page is available exclusively to users with Administrator permission. For other user roles it is not displayed.
2. Overview (Table)
The overview shows all recorded additional times (activities) in a sortable, paginated table. Each row represents one entry.
Default Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Reference ID | Freely assigned reference number of the entry |
| Name | Designation in the currently set language |
| Group | Assigned planning group |
| Name (EN) | Designation in English |
| Name (DE) | Designation in German |
| Name (FR) | Designation in French |
| Name (IT) | Designation in Italian |
The Name column always shows the translation in the language in which the interface is currently being operated. The four language-specific columns let you view all stored translations directly side by side.
Sorting
Clicking on a column header sorts the list in ascending or descending order by that column.
3. Group Filter
The group filter allows the display to be restricted to the entries of a specific planning group.
- Open the group selection switch.
- Use the search field to find and select the desired group.
- The table updates and now shows only the entries of the selected group.
When the active group is changed, the table reloads automatically and shows the associated additional times (activities).
4. Creating or Editing an Entry
Additional times are recorded and edited via a dialog. The dialog serves both for creating new entries and for changing existing ones.
Creating a New Entry
- Click the «Add» button in the toolbar.
- Enter the following fields in the dialog:
- Designation – The designation is recorded in multiple languages. Using the integrated translation editor, the name can be stored in all four languages (English, German, French, Italian).
- Reference ID – A unique reference number for the entry.
- Confirm the dialog with «Save».
After saving, the new entry is added to the list and a confirmation message is displayed.
Editing an Existing Entry
- Select the entry to be changed in the list.
- Click the «Edit» button in the toolbar.
- Adjust the desired fields in the dialog.
- Confirm with «Save».
The changes are applied and the table is updated.
Note: The designation must be unique within the group. If a name that already exists is used, the system rejects the save with a corresponding error message.
5. Deleting Entries
Additional times (activities) that are no longer needed can be removed from the overview.
- Select one or more entries in the list.
- Click the «Delete» button in the toolbar.
- Confirm the security prompt.
The selected entries are removed and the table is updated. Deleting multiple entries at once (bulk operation) is supported.
6. Table Tools (Toolbar)
The standard tools of the toolbar support working with the list:
- Search: A search field searches the displayed list across the columns.
- Select all / Clear selection: Selects or deselects all entries on the current page.
- Refresh: Reloads the current view.
- Excel export: Exports the currently displayed list as an Excel file (
.xlsx). - Column configuration: The settings icon lets you show and hide columns as well as adjust their order. The layout functions allow the table arrangement to be reset.
- Templates: The current column and filter configuration can be saved as a template and later restored with a click.
The user-specific configuration of the table (visible columns, order and templates) is saved and retained after logging out.
