Tags and Filters Applied to Recurring Events
When you apply tags or filters to Event List:
● Tagging/untagging a parent event affects all its child recurrences.
● You can also separately tag/untag an individual child recurrence.
● If you tag a recurring event (parent plus all its children) and apply a Hide
tagged events filter, a new recurrence of that event will cause only the parent
event to display again, along with the new recurrence. (The other recurrences
will remain hidden).
● The Counter field in the parent event always shows the total number of
recurrences, irrespective of whether they are tagged, untagged, or filtered.
● When filtering recurring events, the filter applies only to the parent event,
except for the Filter by Tag that also applies to any child recurrences.
Assisted or Investigative Treatment of Recurring Events
You can start investigative/assisted treatment of a recurring event in the same way
that you would for a non-recurring event. For instructions see Handling an Event
with Investigative Treatment [➙ 44] and Handling Events with Assisted Treatment
[➙ 46].
In the case of assisted treatment, depending on configuration you may be able to
follow an assisted procedure for each child recurrence separately, or there may be
a single assisted procedure that applies to the entire set of recurrences.
3.4 Scheduling
The Schedules component of the management platform enables you to:
● Set up schedules to automate the operation of the building control site:
Schedules are defined on a weekly and daily basis. You can specify a different
hourly timetable for each day of the week. For example, you could schedule a
heating system to work from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays and
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
● Set up exception calendars, which can be associated to schedules: Calendars
define dates (or date ranges) during which a schedule does not apply. For
example, you could create a holiday calendar that overrides the regular heating
schedule to reduce energy costs. When you create a calendar, you can choose
specific dates (January 15), a date range (August 1 – 31), or a week and a day
you want the exception to run (third week of the month, on Wednesday). Then
you can associate one or more schedules with the calendar.
You can configure schedules and calendars to execute centrally, on the
management platform as well as locally, directly on the BACnet field panel. You
can set up multiple schedules and exception calendars to run at the same time.
