Summary
Working/Non-Working Times manage daily changes to the normal working pattern, e.g. sickness or holiday.
They can be updated on either the Team or Resources tab. If you update the Team details it will apply the changes to every Resource in that Team. If you update the Resource details it will only apply to that individual. As an example, if you were adding a meeting record for the whole team you would make the changes to the Team page, but if you were adding holiday for a particular resource, you would use the Resources page.
