Schedules
Schedules allow for control of several points based on the time of day. Schedules are either active or
inactive. Active means the current time of day falls within one of the specified time periods.
Up to 32 points can be controlled by each schedule. An active and inactive value may be defined for
each point. For example, the schedule is active from 8am to 6pm and a setpoint is modified to 72 during
active periods and to 78 during inactive periods.
Clicking the "Apply" button will save all changes on all tabs of the schedule.
Normal Hours Tab
Normal hours are the default times for each day of the week. Special exception dates may be defined on
the "Exceptions" tab (see below).
Each day of the week has a horizontal bar where time periods are displayed and can be changed if the
current
user’s access permits it.
Above the bars is a header that displays the time of day the mouse is pointing to as it is moved over the
bars, or if the mouse is pointing at an existing time period, the header shows the starting and ending time
for that period.
Normally, the time the mouse points to is rounded to the nearest 15 minutes (0, 15, 30 and 45 after
each hour). Holding down the Ctrl key will force it to round at 5 minute intervals. Depending on the
resolution of the mouse, some time values may be difficult to pinpoint at 5 minute intervals. In these
cases, select a time close to the desired time and then right-click the marker and select "Edit Marker".
This allows typing an exact time.
Adding Time Periods
To add a new time period, move the mouse until the desired start time appears in the header, then hold
the left mouse button down while dragging the mouse to the desired ending time.
Multiple days can be set at the same time by dragging the mouse over all the days that should be included.
For example, click and hold the left mouse button on Monday at 8am, then drag it to 5pm on Friday.
Editing Time Periods
To edit an existing time period, click the left mouse button on a starting or ending time marker and drag
the mouse to the new time while holding the left button down.
Adding a new time period that overlaps an existing time period will merge the two. For example, with an
existing time period of 8am to 5pm, clicking anywhere within the time period and dragging the mouse to
8pm will extend the existing time period to 8pm.
Any starting or ending time marker may be right-clicked to display a menu. The menu option "Edit
Marker" may be used to edit that time by typing a new value.
Right-clicking on the schedule will display a popup menu. Depending on where it is clicked, the menu will
contain some of the following options:

Edit Marker — (Only when right-clicking a marker) You can edit the marker time in 1 minute
intervals and also make this marker time depend on the local sunrise/sunset
times. Longitude and latitude settings in the "Set Time/Location" option under
the Admin menu must be correct for the sunrise/sunset times to be accurate.

Delete Active Period — (Only when right-clicking an active period) Deletes the clicked time period.

Clear Entry — Clears all time periods on the bar that was clicked.

Clear Page — Clears the entire page of all time periods.
