About Contact Schedules
viewLinc allows you to set times when a particular user
receives alarm notifications. Users can be set to receive
notifications “always”, “never”, or on a schedule of times and
rotating dates (for example 07:00-19:00 on a 4 day on, 5 day
off rotation, or 08:30-17:30 on a 5 day on, 2 day off rotation).
Contact schedules are applied to user accounts, so schedule
patterns (days, hours) must be set before any can be applied
to a particular user.
To create contact schedules:
1
From Options | System Configuration | Contact Schedules,
click
Add Contact Schedule. The Contact Schedules
area becomes active.
2 From the State drop-down, choose Enabled. This allows
you to set start date, repeat days pattern, and the time
periods.
3 Choose a start date by typing in the text box or choosing
from the calendar.
4 Specify Repeat Days. To repeat the contact schedule
every 7 days, enter 7. For 9 days, enter 9. The maximum
value is 99 days.
5 In the Time Period rows, enter the time period in 24-hour
time in the following format: xx:xx-yy:yy where xx:xx is
the start time and yy:yy is the end time. For intermittent
schedules, separate time periods by a comma. For
example, 08:00-12:00, 13:00-16:00). For contact all day,
