Schedule Tab

The Schedule tab is object-type-specific and is only available in "Schedule" objects. It is used to store and display the scheduled executable objects.

Object: Schedule
Object class: Executable object
Object type (short name): JSCH

Description

Adding tasks
Drag & Drop objects from the Explorer to the Schedule tab. You can also use the context menu command Add task in order to store an object in the Schedule object. A dialog window opens in which you can enter the name of the object that should be inserted or select the object directly from a small Explorer window (click on the three dots to call it).

Within a Schedule object, objects can be copied and inserted using the commands Copy task(s) and Insert task(s).

The properties dialog is automatically displayed when a task has been inserted. You can start conditions and dependencies in it using the following tabs:

Start time tab
Calendar tab
Runtime tab
Result tab

The point of time that is defined for the Schedule object's periodic turnaround is automatically suggested as start time.

Schedule objects can include an object several times. Drag and drop the object to an existing entry and its start time is used for the inserted task.

Description of the Schedule object's line
Each scheduled task is displayed in one table line. These lines are sorted by the tasks' start times. Tasks of the same start time are additionally sorted by name.

Definition
A red alarm clock symbol is found at the beginning of the table line if the task is active. A gray symbol refers to an inactive task. Right after the clock symbol, the start time is shown which is composed of period and the exact start time.
Conditions
The table column "Conditions" informs about task properties which influence the start of the task. Abbreviations symbolize existing conditions or dependencies:

A - indicates that the task was set inactive
C - indicates that a calendar condition was specified (properties of the task, Calendar tab)
S - signals that the task is influenced by a Sync object. Note that dependencies to Sync objects are not set in the Schedule object itself. They are defined in the Sync tab of the respective object.
T - signals that runtime monitoring has been defined (properties of the task, Runtime tab)
R - is displayed when the end status of the task is monitored (properties of the task, Result tab)

Name and Type
The task's name and object type are given in the last two columns.

Menu commands
Commands that refer to individual tasks or the Schedule object can be called through the context menu of the UserInterface or the buttons in the toolbar.

If you highlight a task, the context menu activates commands for this task. You can call the properties dialog, the statistics or the last report of the task. Task can so be edited or removed from a Schedule object.

If no task is highlighted, the available commands refer to the Schedule object itself and statistics or the last report can be displayed or a new task be added.
