Chapter 7: Automatic Scheduling 155
Managing Automatic Call-processing
Changes
Scheduling records schedule one or more call-processing changes for a user.
Records are created:
• When the mailbox is created (by copying the notification records
that already exist in the mailbox on which the new mailbox is based)
• By you, one-by-one, as needed
Managing scheduling records includes:
• Creating and modifying records
The next few sections cover the creation, modification, and disabling of
scheduling records.
• Making the scheduling records needed by most or all users part of
the mailbox template (by default mailbox 997).
• Testing scheduling records by enabling them and verifying that the
expected call-processing changes do take place
When testing a scheduling record, check whether Amanda makes the
correct changes by changing the record’s effective date and time. Do not
adjust the Date/Time option from the Main screen of the standalone sys-
tem or the Time… option from Amanda Monitor. For example, you can
put the record into effect five minutes from now rather than tomorrow
morning, then call the user to see if his greeting (or whatever) has
changed.

records to mailboxes. The locks block changes
made by users via the telephone or Amanda Mes-
