Core Configuration Guide - Add a Schedule (Using Schedules to Automate Regular Functions)

Add a Schedule

To add a Schedule:

Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar).
In the Database Bar, right-click on the System or Group for which you want to add the new Schedule.
A context sensitive menu is displayed.
Select the Create New option.
A further menu is displayed.
Select the Other option.
A further menu is displayed.
Select the Schedule option.
A Schedule is added to the root of the System or to the selected Group (depending on your selection in step 2). It is selected automatically, ready for you to enter its name.
Enter a suitable name for the item (taking into account the Geo SCADA Expert Naming Restrictions).
Press the Enter key or select another part of the ViewX interface to confirm the entry.

When you have added a Schedule, you can configure its properties (see Display the Schedule Form).

Ensure that you specify the type of schedule before adding any events to that schedule (see Define the Basic Schedule Properties). Changing the schedule type at a later stage (from Daily to Weekly, for instance) will result in deletion of any events associated with that schedule.
