The default view for any schedule component is its “scheduler” view, where you define related days and events.
-
The Weekly Scheduler view for any weekly schedule component provides four tabs, as follows:
-
Weekly Schedule — Specifies Sunday-through-Saturday (weekly) event times/values.
-
Special Events — All exceptions to the defined weekly schedule, as special events.
-
Properties — Important properties such as default output, schedule effective times, special event cleanup operation, and schedule facets.
-
Summary — For any selected day, provides summary of all schedule events, with source.
In addition, any weekly schedule component provides a “Current Day Summary” view, providing a simple linear 24-hour graph of schedule event times and values for the current day.
-
-
The Calendar Scheduler view for a CalendarSchedule provides a “calendar” where you add, edit, or delete calendar days and establish relative priorities.
-
The Trigger Scheduler view for a TriggerSchedule provides a two-part view combining a “day picker” and an event “time picker” for specifying when topics are fired on those days.
At the bottom of any scheduler view are buttons Refresh and Save, described as follows:
The button is always available.
When you click Refresh, one of two things happens:
-
If the Save button is not available (no unsaved changes), clicking it re-synchronizes the view with the component’s current configuration.
-
If the Save button is available (unsaved changes), clicking it produces a dialog (Figure 310).
Your refresh confirmation dialog choices are as follows:
-
Yes
Save all changes made in the view since last save. Equivalent to clicking Save.
-
No
Clear all changes made in the view since last save (effective reset).
-
Cancel
Cancels refresh, all unsaved changes remain as unsaved.
The button is available only if you have made unsaved changes in the component’s scheduler. Clicking it downloads your changes to the schedule component’s configuration. Immediately following, the Save button is unavailable again.
For weekly schedules (tabbed Weekly Scheduler view), you typically save while working in each tab, even though any save applies to changes made on all tabs.
