Can Smartsheet Handle Shifts (Different Working Hours) for Scheduling?

Speez

Looking at using smartsheet as a scheduling tool for our project (heavy construction) as it is more mobile friendly than say an MS Project or P6, and the gantt charts actually work as opposed to airtable which has a great interface but their timeline "block" is garbage. 

 

We work 2 or more shifts with our crews, so I need to schedule not only by day but by time. For example, we work Mon-Fri 0700-1530, Tues-Sun 2100-0700, and Sun-Thur 2100-0700. So far I have not been able to figure out how to make different working day and hour calendars in smartsheet, which is a 100% crucial feature for us. Did I miss it somewhere, or is this missing (since they don't really have a construction focus) in the current iteration?

 

thanks,

Smartsheet is currently incapable of calculating specific times like what you need. There are some workarounds, but they can get rather convoluted and painful depending on your specific needs.
