How do I create a schedule object?
The Schedule object resides in an engine or controller and is the
internal basis for the Scheduling feature. See Creating and deleting objects for more information about creating an object. You
can add your Scheduled Items when you create a new schedule object by completing the
information in the Schedule tab of the
Create Item window.
Note: You can edit the unique identifier during
schedule object creation only. The unique identifier is used in the automatic
creation of the item reference.
What is the difference between a Schedule summary widget and a Schedule widget?
The Schedule summary widget is a summary view of all schedules
within the space and child spaces you are currently viewing. You can open
the Schedule summary widget when you click on a Space and then select Schedule from the page drop-down list in the upper
right of the dashboard. Click on an individual schedule listed in the summary to
open the Schedule widget. See Schedule summary widget and
Schedule widget for more information.
Note: For MVE on Metasys UI, see Schedule widget for MVE on Metasys UI and Schedule summary widget for MVE on Metasys UI for more
information.
What happens to my schedules when an engine comes online or goes offline?
The following table describes the scenarios you may experience when an engine is offline.
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| The schedule was online, then taken offline, the restarted, and then the schedule is put back online. | The schedule displays in the Metasys UI without any extra work. |
| The schedule has never been online, and then added to a running system in SMP. | Requires the engine and Site Director upload with SCT and then an SCT download. |
| The schedule was online and then taken offline. While the schedule is offline, it is edited and then put back online. | Changes to the weekly or exception schedule display automatically, but changes to the scheduled points requires a full SCT upload and download. |
| A new device is added with new schedules. | Requires an SCT upload, new equipment configuration, and then an SCT download. |
| The schedule is edited, then the associated engine is taken offline before you click save, and then you click save. | The schedule edit wizard continues to spin indicating that the command is sent but the screen spins indefinitely until the wizard is closed manually. To fix this issue, put the engine back online and make the change again. |
