Schedules define active and inactive times. They can be linked to the following objects:

Exception Schedule

An exception schedule is an inverted schedule. It defines inactive times. Exception schedules are used for e.g. holidays and other temporal exceptions to an otherwise regular schedule.

Configuration

To add a new schedule object, navigate to /root/Configurations/Schedule, then select the reqired schedule type from the topmost dropdown list or click the Add Schedule or Add Exception Schedule icon:

Select the Repetition type and one or more schedules with the + button. If the from and till fields are equal, the attached jobs will be executed once at that time. If a range is specified, the jobs will be executed during this period according to their individual interval settings. As soon as schedule element is linked to a job, the job will only be executed within the scheduler period. However, it is possible to link to multiple schedule objects.

The parameter Type indicates if the schedule is active or inactive. Inactive schedules are used for exception schedules.

If required, a standard holidays list may be created using the Set basic holidays button. The list can be adapted to the company holidays afterwards.

Example schedule Working hours: Weekly repetition, Monday to Fritay from 8:00 to 17:00h:

Linked schedules

If a schedule is used for active times but should also contain some holidays, this can not be achieved in a single schedule object. For such cases, schedules can be linked. After the schedule with active times is configured, an Exception Schedule must be configured with the required holidays and linked to the first schedule:
