Adding or editing a schedule (default settings)
This procedure describes how to create a standard schedule that represents normal daily building activity.
Prerequisites: You are working in the Supervisor station.
- Click .The Schedules view opens.
- Do one of the following:
- To start a new schedule, click the Add button (
).
- To edit an existing schedule, double-click the schedule row in the table.
If you are adding a new schedule, the Add a New Schedule window opens.The
Usageproperty in theAdd a new Scheduleview identifies the purpose of the schedule making it convenient to identify and assign schedules to appropriate components (access rights, door overrides, door unlock, and others). Selecting theCustomoption defines a new use. Each use can have its own facets so that the Booleantrue, andfalsechange as appropriate for the schedule’s application. For example, for an access right, true can change to “Granted” and false to “Denied.” - To start a new schedule, click the Add button (
- For a new schedule, select the type of schedule and click Ok.After defining the purpose for the schedule, the system opens the Add New Schedule view, Scheduler tab.
- Enter a name for the calendar schedule in the
Display Nameproperty. - To add or edit an event, click in a day at the approximate event start time, and drag down to define the start and finish
times.
Once entered, events appear as solid colored blocks, while unscheduled (default output) time appears as light gray. The event remains selected (by default, pink colored) when you release the mouse button. - As needed, click again and drag on the event’s top or bottom edge to change its start or finish time (in broad increments).Right-click on a scheduled block to use the popup menu to copy and paste event times across predefined days of the week, to delete an event or to clear a day or week.
- Choose an Output option (
trueorfalse) and use theStartandFinishproperties to specify when the Output option is effective.NOTE: When you click on the block in the scheduler, you can choose if that block is true or false. For example, when you add the event, the block may be set to "locked" when in fact you want the door to be unlocked during that period. Sometimes you may need to use the start and finish to get the exact time because the dragging function isn't very granular. - Use the properties on each tab to define a schedule, and click Save.NOTE: For weekly schedules, it is a good practice to save your changes while working in each tab, even though any save applies to changes made on all tabs.The system saves the new or edited schedule and displays it in the edit schedule view.
