Add a Schedule Entry

Schedule entries are used to specify a change of state for a selected piece of equipment. A schedule entry specifies a Start Time and End Time for a particular State.

Note: You can also create recurring schedule entries that follow patterns based on a day, week, month or year. See Add a Recurring Schedule Entry.

To add a new schedule entry:

1. Open the Scheduler in the runtime environment and select the Configuration View tab.

2. In the Equipment Tree, select the piece of equipment (or equipment hierarchy location) that requires a schedule entry.

3. In the Calendar, double-click on the location that represents the date and time at which the schedule entry should occur. The Schedule Entry dialog will display.

   

   Note: If you would like to add a schedule entry at a time where one already exists, you will need to select a time just outside the range of the existing entry and manually adjust the Start Time and End Time accordingly. Be aware that this will create a schedule conflict (see Schedule Priorities).

4. In the State field, select the equipment state you would like the schedule entry to execute. The drop-down menu includes the states that are configured for the selected equipment.

5. Add a Description of the schedule entry (if required).

6. Use the Start Time and End Time fields to specify when the state change should commence and its duration. The button to the right of each field displays a date and time selection tool.

7. Click OK.

   Note: Special circumstances apply to schedule entries that occur during a daylight savings transition. For example, the transition period is read-only which means schedule entries cannot be added. For more information, see Manage Daylight Saving Transitions.
