Distributed Schedule Manager - Database view
This view provides a way to discover and import schedules from a remote station to the local station. All stations have a
Distributed Schedule Manager view. The relationship between the local and remote stations is independent of each station’s role (subordinate, peer, or
Supervisor). For the purposes of propagating schedules, the relationship depends on which station initiates the discovery
job.
A Supervisor station discovers schedules in a remote station before adding the remote station to the system.

Match synchronizes the schedule selected in the Database pane with the schedule selected in the Discovered pane creating a single schedule in the local station. Match helps to prevent multiple versions of the same, or similar schedules.
