Exceptions Tab
An exception is a single date or a range of dates where the desired active periods differ from the normal
schedule. Examples of exceptions would be holidays or special events. Up to 32 exceptions may be
defined on each schedule.
Clicking anywhere on an empty exception entry will create a new exception and allow selecting the
date(s) for the exception.
Exception time periods are created and edited the same as normal time periods. See above for more.
An exception with no times defined is a "closed" period. The schedule will remain inactive all day.
Points
The points list displays all points affected by this schedule, the active/inactive values of each point and
the number of seconds by which to offset the changing of this point.
Offsets allow points to be staggered on or off to minimize demand spikes. Please note that offsets cannot
cross midnight in either direction. With an inactive time of 11:59pm and an offset of +120 seconds, the
point will follow the next day’s schedule at 12:00am and not honour the offset of the previous day. Also
note that offsets that cause an overlap with another active period may not have the expected results.
Offsets are also useful for simplifying schedules. A single schedule can be set to the open and close time
and the offsets used to turn on the fans 60 minutes before opening (
–3600 seconds), the lights at open
time (0 seconds) and change the setpoint 2 hours later (+7200 seconds).
Drag a point from the device tree and drop it anywhere on the points list to add it to the bottom of the list.
Right-clicking on a point in the list will display a popup menu with the following options:

Edit Entry — Allows editing the active/inactive values of the selected point.

Clear Entry — Removes the selected point from the list.

Clear Page — Clears the entire page of all points.
Resend Point Values
The resend point value option will resend the point values of all points at the specified interval. This can
be useful to automatically refresh setpoints that users may have changed and other similar
circumstances. Setting the interval to 0 will disable refreshes.
Refreshing many points at small intervals can slow the network. Be careful how this option is used.
