Add and configure a single time event

The Single time event item enables you to define an event that occurs only one time.

You can add timers anywhere in the project; however, it is a good idea to create a Timers folder and store the timers together in one location.

To add a single time event

1. In the plant hierarchy, right-click the location that you want to contain the time event, point to Add Item, then point to Time Event Item, then select Single Time Event. A new Single time event item appears.

   

2. Rename the time event with a meaningful name.

3. Specify the properties for the single time event.

4. Configure the properties. For guidance in configuring the properties, see Single time event properties.
