Schedule Setup (weekly schedules) tab
This tab includes a set of properties that affect the way the schedule works, and provides information about current and projected
schedule values. It defines a default output (output during non-event times), schedule effective times, special event cleanup
operation, and schedule facets (display text for outputs).
To access this tab from the main menu, click , then double-click the a schedule row in the table, and click the Schedule Setup tab.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Default Output | read only | When a schedule event (special or weekly) is not defined from another source, the schedule component’s output serves as the
default value. Use the null output option when you do not want to specify either a true or false value by default.
|
| Cleanup Expired Events | true or false |
true configures the system to delete one-time special events that will not occur again. When a special event is deleted, a message is sent to the schedule log, and that special event no longer appears on the Special Events tab. |
| Scan Limit | day, hours, minutes | Defines how far into the future the system looks when calculating the Next Time or Next Value property. Make sure that this value is always positive and always greater than 24 hours. |
| Last Modified | read-only | Indicates the last time that the schedule was modified. |
| Out Source | read-only | Indicates what is currently generating the out value. For example, the Out Source might be coming from the Default Output
value if there is no event scheduled. Or it may be coming from the Input value, if the In property is set to a value other than null.
|
| Out | read-only | Reports the current out value. |
| In | read-only | Reports the current input value. |
| Next Time | read-only | Reports the next date and time this event will occur. This could be a beginning or ending of a scheduled event. If the next
event is more than a year into the future, this column reports null.
When you change an output time or value in the Scheduler tab, the value takes effect immediately, however, Next Time may not update for several minutes. Refreshing the browser view may help. |
| Next Value | read-only | Reports the next scheduled out value (true or false) to occur at Next Time. This value is meaningless if Next Time is null. |
| Usage | String Chooser | Adds information regarding how to use the schedule. This property can help to identify the schedule and improve filtering
options for choosing a schedule from a list.For example, when assigning a schedule to an access right, you might use the Filter window’s Usage property to show only access right schedules.
|
| True Text | String Chooser | Defines the text to display when the current time is within the range defined by the schedule. For example, “Unlocked” |
| False Text | String Chooser | Defines the text to display when the current time is outside of the range defined by the schedule. For example, “Locked” |
