The Scheduler enables the user to schedule event occurrences for one or more profiles created in the Profiles section. It also prohibits triggering false alerts for channels that are scheduled to be transmitted only on specific days and times.
*Please note that if there is an overlap in the events scheduled, higher priority events override the lower ones. Once the event ends, the source monitoring follows the default profile.
The Scheduler GUI displays the calendar events in Month format by default. Please click on the icons present at the top right corner to view the calendar event in Week or Day format.
Icons | Description |
