Often you can easily solve them by verifying that:

  • FMU is active for the number you want to update. If FMU is not active, contact your Customer Support OfficerNew window.
  • Managed users do not have an empty schedule. At least one timeslot must be configured.
  • You are not trying to apply an Auto status to an unmanaged user. You can only change the status of an unmanaged user by assigning it as Manual and setting an Active Status such as Private, Professional or On Duty. Please consult the section about managing schedules for multiple users (bulk scheduling) and check the content of the .xls file for errors.
  • Timeslots do not overlap each other. Delete the timeslot you wish to update and then create a new one.

If despite these verifications you’re still experiencing problems, do not hesitate to contact usNew window.
