Being a Sales Manager or Dynamics CRM administrator, you need to manage the sales reps/executives’ activities including its working timings. DynamicCRM provides a feature to manage working hours of sales reps (Dynamics users).

Suppose, a marketing campaign is ongoing for a week at some place, so being a sales manager, you need to keep the working hours of the sales executives there.

With our AppJetty Calendar 365 you can manage the working hours of the users and check on the Calendar. For that, you can enable the Resource Scheduling to display hours of default CRM records or you can create from the AppJetty Calendar365 and manage the working hours user-wise.

In Calendar 365, you will find the Resource Scheduler option to manage the working hours.

You need to follow the below steps to manage the Working hours:

  • Calendar Configuration
  • Enable Resource Scheduling by selecting either default CRM or AppJetty Calendar
  • Check the default CRM working hours on AppJetty Calendar and add the activity
  • Add the Working hours from the AppJetty Calendar itself and add the activity

Step-1: Navigate to Calendar 365

From the Dynamics 365 apps, click on the ‘Calendar 365’.

Step-2: Enable ‘Resource Scheduling’
