Command Schedule

The Command Schedule tab provides the capability to schedule any of the Commands with the exception of a Page type Command. The Command Schedule provides options for when a Command starts, the recurring frequency, looping, and more. Each scheduled Command is known as an Event.

NOTE:  To set the Time and Date, and other time related settings, refer to the Configurator topic.

Changing the View

To change views, click the Command Scheduler tab. In the upper right corner of the scheduler, click one of the following views:

List and Calendar - List displays a list of events, Calendar displays the information in a calendar type format.

IMPORTANT:   When you make any changes in the Administrator, you must Update the Administrator for the changes to take effect. After making a change in a dialog box in the Administrator, and exiting the dialog box, a red banner displays across the top of the interface with an Update button, and a Cancel button.

Creating an Event

  3. Double-click one of the days in the calendar. The Edit Event dialog box opens with the Occurs date set to the date you clicked. The time is the current time. Both of these parameters can be changed.
  4. Give a Name to the Event.
  5. Select a Command from the drop-down menu. (If you don't have at least one Command created, the only choice is the AdHoc Command. You must select a Command to Schedule an Event.)

    1. Command Type - The Commands you have created in your design are shown in the drop-down list. Select the type.
    2. Based on the Command type, you have different parameters to select. Refer to the Commands topic for details on the types of Commands, and how to create them.
  6. The Enabled drop-down is, by default, set to Yes. This selection gives you the option to enable or disable an event at any time.
  7. Select one of the following from the Occurs drop-down menu.
  8. Loop allows you to execute the Event repeatedly, at set intervals, until a specified time. The Loop is in effect every time the Event occurs. Select Yes from the drop-down if you want to loop the Event.
  9. If you selected Daily, Weekly or Monthly from the Occurs drop-down, you can click the checkbox next to Show Advanced Settings to reveal the following options. (If you selected Once, the Show Advanced Settings option is not displayed.)
