*Lucity updates these values nightly. Run the Recalculate Fiscal Year Totals | Selected Record toolkit to update these values on-demand.

Working Days per Month Fields

Lucity uses the Working Days values in certain labor-day and cost calculations on Department and Planned Task records.

Working Days

(monthly fields)

Indicate the number of days the agency observes as work days during each particular month.

  • Lucity automatically copies these values to all Department records associated with this Fiscal Year. However, if any Department works more or less days in a particular month, you can modify the Working Days values on its Department record.
  • Note that if you make changes to the Working Day values on a Fiscal Year record, Lucity does not make those changes on any related, existing Department records. If you want to make such changes, you must make them manually to on each Department record.

Total Days

Calculates the total number of working days the organization observes this fiscal year.

  • Calculated as the sum of the 12 monthly Working Days fields. Lucity performs this calculation when the record is saved.
  • If you leave all monthly Working Days fields blank, Lucity enters a value of zero (0) here.

Hours/Day

Indicates the number of hours in a typical work day.
