Modifying an objects schedule with CSM schedule tags
CSM includes three predefined schedules that you can use for scheduling objects:
- WEEKDAY (WKD): specifies that the object should be DOWN at a specified time on Mondays through Fridays every week
- WEEKEND (WKN): specifies that the object should be DOWN at a specified time on every Saturday and Sunday
- DAILY (DLY): specifies that an object should be DOWN at a specified time every day of the week (Monday through Sunday) every week
These tags also can be used in conjunction with schedules for a specific day and time. CSM will take the object down on the specific day in addition to the time specified by any of these tags.
For example, suppose object AAOCSM09 should be DOWN every day from 2:00 A.M. to 3:00 A.M.
To modify AAOCSM09’s schedule
- Enter the E line command next to AAOCSM09. The Object Detail Control panel for AAOCSM09 is displayed.
Enter the primary command SCH to display the Object Scheduling panel for AAOCSM09.
