Schedules Introduction
The Schedules tab is used to create permanent, temporary, and holiday schedules for subscribers. Subscriber schedules are used to communicate to the system how specific alarm event types should be handled during a set time frame.
Permanent
The Permanent sub-tab is used to define the subscriber’s fixed day-to-day schedules. These schedules dictate how alarms should be handled based on criteria entered.
Users can interact with the Permanent table via the available toolbar options. These options and their functions are defined below.
Option | Function |
---|---|
Columns | Allows users to update what column information will display in the table. See the Column Management documentation for more information on how to update table columns. |
Rename | Allows users to update the column names as necessary. See the Column Management documentation for more information on how to update table columns. |
Save | Preserves any table changes (e.g. column layout or name changes) as default so the updated table configuration will display the next time the user views the page. This option applies to the user’s personal profile only. |

Temporary
The Temporary sub-tab is used to define an alternate signal handling protocol during the subscriber’s permanent schedule. Temporary schedules have a set expire date for when signals will return to being handled as defined by the permanent schedule. By default, the permanent schedules appear in the list of temporary schedules. This makes it easier to view the current schedule and make temporary changes to it. Temporary schedules will be highlighted red in the temporary schedules table.
