Understanding the Schedule Builder:

The schedule builder is focused on providing your basic patterns of activity over an extend period of time, across multiple zones. You can make any day-to-day changes using schedule overrides or by adjusting the day patterns through the calendar function. 

The Schedule builder works in 3 phases:

1. Equipment & Days Select: Choose the type of equipment you would like to set the day pattern for. Secondly, select the number of days you would like the pattern to take. We recommend 7 (to match with a working week). 

You will also be required to select the specific zones that you would like to apply the day patterns towards. It is important to note that only the zones that match the type of equipment selected will load on this screen. Select all zones you want to apply this pattern of behaviour too. 

2. Match Day Patterns with Schedule: On this page you can select a suitable day pattern for each day of the schedule. You can do this by clicking the day number, where you will be presented with a drop down for all of the day patterns available to use.

Note: On the next screen you will be able to select the start date from which this pattern of behaviour will take effect from.

3. Dates Select: Using the ‘from date’ option, ensure you select the appropriate start date from when you want this schedule of behaviour to begin (it will default to today).

Clicking on the ‘from date’ or ‘to date’ will bring up a date selector page which will enable you to schedule day patterns up to 2 years in advance.

Once you are happy with the scheduled dates you can select to save and apply. 

The colour coding of day patterns should allow you to confirm that appropriate day patterns are configured for the right days.

Note: If you don’t select a new date, the pattern of behaviour will take effect from ‘today’. This will mean that day 1 = today. Day 2 = tomorrow. If I were doing this on Thursday the 6th of April, then Day 1 would be Thursday, Day 2 would be Friday and so on.

After selecting to save and apply a success message should confirm that your changes have been applied. You can then immediately view these changes in your calendar.
