Creating Schedules

To create schedules, you must have the privileges Create Configuration Object and Create and Edit Schedules and Events. In addition, you need to have Write access to the Schedule folder. For information about privileges and permissions, see Controlling Access to Application Functionality.

To create effective and useful schedules, you must have a clear understanding of your users' needs and the usage patterns of the overall system. Schedules must be created before they are linked to any tasks.

To Create a Schedule

1. In Developer, log in to a project source.
2. Expand Administration, then expand Configuration Managers, and then select Schedules. The list of schedules for the project source displays on the right-hand side.
3. From the File menu, point to New, and then select Schedule.
4. Step through the wizard, entering the required information:
   • To create a time-triggered schedule, when prompted for the schedule type, select Time-triggered. Then select the frequency and time the schedule is triggered.
   • To create an event-triggered schedule, when prompted for the schedule type, select Event-triggered. Then select the event that triggers the schedule.
5. When you reach the Summary page of the Wizard, review your choices and click Finish.

You can also create a schedule with the Create Schedule script for Command Manager. For detailed syntax, see the Create Schedule script outline in Command Manager Help.
