Configure Special Days

Special Days are used to identify those days where regular scheduling does not apply to the equipment in a plant.

Each special day belongs to a category. To configure a special day, you should do the following:

Creating a special day category

1. Open Scheduler in the runtime environment.

2. Click the Special Days View tab.

3. In the Categories panel, click the Add button.

4. The Add Category dialog box appears. Enter a unique name for the category and click OK. The new entry appears in the list of categories.

   If the Add button is not available, go to the Scheduler page in Graphics Builder and set the "IsAddSpecialDaysButtonVisible" property value to "1." Refer to Use ActiveX Properties to Control Scheduler's Current Selection for more details.

Adding special days to the Scheduler calendar

5. Open Scheduler in runtime environment and click the Special Days View tab.

6. In the Categories panel, select the category to which you need to add special days. (If required, follow the procedure described above to create a new category).

7. In the Scheduler calendar, navigate to the month with the day (or range of days) that you need to specify as a special day.

8. Double-click on a day that you want to specify as a special day.

   

9. The Special Day Configuration dialog box appears. Enter a name, start date and end date.

   A timestamp of "00:00:00" (the start of a day) applies to the Start and End fields. The configuration does not include the end date in the special days range, because the associated timestamp occurs as the day begins. For example, if you specify the dates from 5/08/2018 to 8/08/2018:

   

   The span of the special days range highlights from 5/08/2018 to 7/08/2018.

   

10. Click OK.

If the special days are adjacent to each other and share the same name, then it will be grouped together in a single block.
