On the Subterms form:

1. For each day, enter the times to be included in Laytime.
   The example above shows Sundays and holidays excluded, with these values:
   Monday through Saturday: From 0 To 2400
   Sunday: From 0 To 0

2. Close the Subterms form and save the Laytime Terms form again.

In the Factor column:

1. Hovering over this field will reveal the description: "A factor by which to multiply loading/discharging time to accommodate the port's open hours.
   The formula for calculating Factor is: Factor = Total Possible Laytime Hours ÷ Total Laytime Term Hours 

2. Users will need to manually calculate and enter the Factor value accordingly.
   Example: Total Possible Laytime Hours for a week (7 Days) sums to 16800 (or simply 168 hours).
   A user creates a new Laytime Term where Saturdays and Sundays are excluded. Total Laytime Term Hours calculate as follows: 5 days * 24 hours in each day = 120 total hours
   Therefore, Factor would be calculated as follows: 168 Total Possible Laytime Hours ÷ 120 Total Laytime Term Hours = 1.4000
