Using the Program Scheduler
The program
Scheduler
is a powerful tool which facilitates automatically connecting and
disconnecting programs using a simple calendar-based user interface. Key features include:
·
Drag and drop to add programs into the scheduler.
·
Automatically load and unload programs.
·
Drag the top or bottom of a scheduled program to adjust the scheduled time.
·
Customization of time-zones displayed in the scheduler.
·
Day, week, month, list and timeline views available.
·
View a list of scheduled upcoming 'events' in a separate panel.
·
Enable and disable scheduled events in a snap.
Scheduler Overview
There are several panels associated with the Program Scheduler:
1.
Scheduler
: Create and manage scheduled "events."
2.
Scheduler Events
: View a list of all scheduled events.
3.
Scheduler History
: View previously scheduled events.
Important Notes:
·
A program attempts to dial and connect at the scheduled event start time. Allow
enough dial time when scheduling events.
·
Allow sufficient time to disconnect and dial between consecutive events.
·
A scheduled event will fail if a program is already connected.
·
Consider configuring events in UTC time during daylight saving transitions to simplify
set up.
·
Events shorter than 15 minutes display a 15 minute time slot in the scheduler to
enhance event visibility.
