Schedules

The Schedules editor creates and deploys event schedules to the device, that are triggered by the internal real-time clock. A series of actions can be defined to run when the schedule is active. The user can also edit, enable, or disable schedules directly on the device itself.

If you think there are existing schedules in the device, you should click sb icon load from device

Load from Device ( F11 ) before making any changes in SB, otherwise they may be overwritten when saving new schedules.

The following settings apply to all schedules in the Schedules editor:

The Set Location and Time Zone button opens the Set Device Location and Time Zone dialog. From here you can change the location and time zone for the device, if different from your current location.

The Set Public Holidays button opens the Edit Public Holidays dialog, where you can Add, Delete, Import (.xml or .ics), Export, and edit public holidays for your region. You can configure individual schedules to include/exclude public holidays.

The Set Special Events button opens the Edit Special Events dialog, where you can Add, Delete, Import (.xml), Export, and edit special events for your region. Special events temporarily override normal operational schedules.
