The schedule data in the summary pane is display only. To modify an import schedule, select the desired import schedule node in the tree and change the desired values on the appropriate tabs.

An import schedule defines the circumstances for importing data from an outside data source into the MES database. The import schedule node is color-coded to reflect the completion status of its last import.

• Yellow indicates no activity, an import schedule that is ready to run or partial activity after the last execution of the import data.

• Green indicates that the last data import was a success.

• Red indicates a failure.

Right-clicking an import schedule opens a context menu that contains the following options:

Delete

Deletes the selected import schedule. You will be prompted to confirm the delete.

Refresh All

Updates the entire tree to reflect any changes made in this window or elsewhere.
