📕Scheduler - Add / Edit Schedules

Follow these steps to Add and/or Edit Scheduled Events

• Go to the Scheduler via the menu tab on left side of main screen and click on ‘Schedule List’
• This will open Schedule List - Filters in header can be used to filter list
• Click ‘Add New’ located in the upper right corner on the ‘Schedule List’ Bar
• Enter ‘Name’
• Select ‘Dispatch Type’
• Enter ‘Comments’
• Select ‘Trade’
• Select 'Do Event Shadowing' Event Shadowing Support Page
• Enter ‘Estimated Hours’ This is captured for each interval type with shadowing feature
• Select ‘Owner(s)’ – This is not typically done unless schedule is done by same person every time
• Select ‘Schedule Type’
  • One Time Event = Not repeating
  • Fixed Interval = Same frequency regardless when last complete (example: monthly PM due 20th of month will be due every month on the 20th regardless of last time complete)
  • Floating Interval = Frequency will float based on last time complete (example: monthly PM is complete 5 days after due date 20th of month, PM will launch next month 5 days after previous month or 25th of month, this can reduce waste of activities being done to frequently)
    Note: If scheduled event is not complete before next schedule system will not launch a duplicate event. If event is completed after next schedule would have been due system will account for both events being complete.
• Select (Occurrence) Interval type  – Days, Hours, Cycles, Calendar Monthly, Calendar Weekly, Calendar Daily, Calendar Yearly.
  • On calendar daily you can add the shift you want this schedule to launch.
    • Note if you add the shift to the calendar daily schedule, this will set the next launch date/time as the shift start time and the next due date/time will be the end of shift time. this is automatically set. You can change the next scheduled time during that shift if needed. 
    • Note: Annual cycles are on a 12 month interval. Monthly is defined by the same day each month.
• Multiple types can be selected (example: you could schedule the Monthly and Yearly PM from a single scheduler. To do this you will need to identify which steps to perform Monthly vs. Yearly in single PM document, or link both Monthly & Yearly PM Documents to the schedule. When schedule launches it will display the schedule type ‘Monthly or Yearly’ in schedule header)
• Day – Select if you’d prefer launch on same day of Week or Month every time it launches
• Enter ‘Schedule Dates’
• Launch Date – This is the initial date on which the schedule will launch Dispatch event
• Due Date – This is the initial due date following launch date. The idea is to launch event with enough time prior to Due date to ensure success (example: Yearly PM you may want to Launch a couple weeks prior to due date to allow for planning)
• Note: Launch to Due Date interval will remain consistent unless edited from this screen
• Note: When scheduling PMs over the weekend or day off,  if the scheduled date lands on a day off, the schedule will push the date to the next working day.  If the scheduled date lands on a working day, but the due date lands on a day off, the schedule will push the due date forward the number of non-working days.
