📕Scheduler Settings

The scheduler settings will allow you to grant users security access to scheduler functionality and also configure custom scheduler settings for your site.

Default Scheduler Settings

• # Days To Project Schedules: This allows you to determine how many days you wish to project event schedules forward for forecasting needs.
• Default Machine for Tooling: When using tooling in Dispatch, any tooling that is not assigned to a machine will log its dispatch history against this default machine until the tooling is assigned to a machine.
• Enable Machine Cycle Count Update From Production Actuals: If you wish to use cycle based scheduled events, you will need to have this box checked. In addition, you will need to be using our production module. You can find the cycle count multiplier in machine settings.  
• Update due date in open Dispatches when due date is updated in schedule: Checking this box will allow the due date in dispatches that have already been launched to be updated when they are updated within the event schedule.
• Update due date on Schedule when due date is updated on an open Dispatch: This checkbox will allow the schedule to be updated from changing the due date on an Open Dispatch.
• Event Shadowing Defaults to On: Event shadowing is a feature that allows you to group multiple occurrence type events for the same machine. If you wish to default to this setting, check the default box. Click here for more information on Event Shadowing.
• When Resuming a Suspended Schedule, Bring the Launch, Scheduled and Due Dates Current is checked, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly Schedules will be brought current based on their Schedule, Interval and Occurrence Types. "Days" and "Hours" based schedules will continue to be resumed by bumping their dates forward based on the number of days they have been suspended. Note: If the Due Date is in the future when you resume the schedule, it will launch, even if the launch date is in the past. For example, if your next launch date is 1/3 and your due date is 1/9 and you resume the schedule on 1/7, the schedule will launch.
• Occurrence Types: Miscellaneous, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Occurrence Types: Each drop down populates a specific event timeframe which allows you to custom configure font colors for each occurrence type you are using. These colors are displayed on the schedule calendar. Note: It is recommended to only change occurrence colors for occurrence types you wish to use.
