Manager must be in
Operating mode.
Adding Schedules
For automatic navigation, you select the schedules you want to view from System
Browser, and the
Timeline tab displays them by default. For manual navigation,
you select the schedules you want to view from System Browser, and then click the
Send button to have them display in the
Timeline tab. While in manual navigation,
you can also drag and drop schedules in the tab. Schedule names in the Timeline
Viewer display in the same order as the schedules in System Browser.
Preset Time Periods
You can click the Zoom to Preset Time Period icon on the Timeline Viewer toolbar
to select how much of the timeline is visible at once. The choices are 12 hours, 1
day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month.
The Timeline Viewer accepts a maximum of 50 schedules. The less schedules you
view, the more options you have with the preset time periods. The more schedules
you view, the fewer options you have with the preset time periods.
