Different Hours for Weekends
Premises may need to open for shorter (or longer) hours on a weekend.
To set this up, simply add a second period with shorter hours and select the relevant day(s).
Different Hours on a Holiday
In some installations, especially retail, a schedule must still operate on a holiday but may do so for shorter or longer
hours.
To set this up, simply set up another period with the required days and times, and set the Holiday mode to
Enabled on holiday.
Multiple Periods in a Single Day
Sometimes multiple periods are required in a single day. Consider a movie theater where there are multiple session
times, so the doors must be unlocked during certain periods.
Set as many separate periods for the same day(s) as required.
Overlapping Periods
Where periods overlap, the schedule will take the sum of all periods.
Overnight Schedules
Where a schedule is required to operate overnight, enter a start time, but leave the end time as 12:00 AM. This
results in the period being valid from the start time until midnight.
Now program a second period to start at midnight and continue until the end of the shift. By extending the days
that the period is valid, we can create an overnight Monday to Friday shift.
The graphics view is useful for providing a visual representation of when the schedule is valid.
Rules for Schedules and Holidays
If you program times and days into a schedule but don't do anything else, the schedule will always operate.
For a holiday to prevent the schedule from becoming valid, the following must have been programmed:
1. The holiday must be programmed in a holiday group.
2. That holiday group must be applied to the schedule in the Holiday groups tab.
3. The Holiday mode for the schedule period must be set to Disabled on holiday.
