Create Schedules

Explanation

Use this activity to define the schedules used for a day type, which is then connected to a specific period of time when creating a calendar. You can also create schedules in the Schedules window, although the day numbers must be defined in the Schedule window. Schedules cannot be overlapping. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person. 

Prerequisites

This activity has the following prerequisites:

• Day types and periods must be defined.

System Effects

• Modifying a schedule or exception schedule changes its calendar's state to Changes Pending, indicating that the generated versions of those calendars are not in sync with the attached rules (Schedules, Day Types, Schedule Exceptions). 
• The calendar must then be regenerated before it can be used in the system.
