   title Info
   Users familiar with earlier versions of ProTrack Warehouse may note the absence of the Start and End buffer values on this screen. As of version 7.4.4, buffers are no longer explicitly configured for each Schedule, but rather are derived automatically at the time of work schedule creation. For an explanation on how this works, see the Data Processing chapter in the ProTrack Warehouse User Manual.

5. Click 'Select Activity' link. Select an activity from the popup window.

   For the end of shift activity, be sure the entered start sime is X minutes prior to the schedule's end time, where X is the Duration of the end of shift activity.
