I am trying to change the working hours on a project, I have sarted with a 24 hr calender as this project we will be working around the clock for 4 weeks.
I would like to step up the working day showing the meal breaks but I can only set up 5 periods.

Week 1 (single shift)
Start time 7:00am
1st meal break 10:30 to 11:00am
2nd meal break 2:30 to 3:00pm
Finish time 6:00pm

I have set this up to show these times but the 2nd week I run out of time segments.

Week 2 (double shift)
1st shift
Start time 4:00am
1st meal break 7:30 to 8:00am
2nd meal break 11:30am to 12:00pm
Finish time 4:00pm

2nd shift
Start time 4:00pm
1st meal break 7:30 to 8:00pm
2nd meal break 11:30pm to 12:00am
Finish time 4:00am

Week 3 (double shift with a 4 hr NDT period)
1st shift
Start time 4:00am
1st meal break 7:00 to 7:300am
2nd meal break 10:30 to 11:00am
Finish time 2:00pm

2nd shift
Start time 2:00pm
1st meal break 5:00 to 5:30pm
2nd meal break 8:30pm to 9:00pm
Finish time 12:00am

12:00 to 4:00am NDT window.

Week 4 will be the same as week 2

Will I be doing the correct thing if I incorporated the change over of shifts as 1 time period this would allow the work time / breaks to fit into the 5 time period segments?

Thanks for your help.

The project seems to be 24 hours so make the project calendar 24 hours with appropriate days off, if any. , It's the resource which has the change in schedule. Use the Resources calendar to include the breaks. On the Resources Sheet if you use the Group field, you can group resources together which have the same schedule and change the calendars at one time.
