Default Shift work

Hi everyone,
One question that seems easy but...
I need to incorporate shift work in my model. I believe it has to be done via Tools/Time tables/Add.
But how can I set the shifts for example 7:00-9:00 (work), break 9:00-9:15, 9:15-12:00 (work) etc.? I tried but the column that says "Time" only accepts decimal values.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Mike, the easiest way is to use the graphical editor (button on the timetable edit page) - that way the correct values get entered for you. Just make sure you choose the correct time units for your model in its GUI.
