프로시저

1. Navigate to All > System Scheduler > Schedules.
2. Select New.
3. In the Name field, name the schedule as needed.
   For example, a name that relates to a functional location.
4. In the Type field, enter industrial_shift_config.
   If you select Floating in the Time zone field, the time zone is relative to the process that accesses the item at the specified time.

   If you select a time zone, users in different time zones see the schedule with their own time zone applied.

5. Select Submit.
6. Create a child schedule.
   Create a child schedule for each shift and name them accordingly, for example, morning, afternoon and evening.
   1. Open the schedule record and then select the Child Schedules tab.
   2. Select New.
   3. For the field Type, enter industrial_shift_entry.
   4. Select Submit.
   5. Open the child schedule and scroll down to the Schedule Entries tab.

      The Schedule Entries related list contains the definitions of the time periods that you want to include in or exclude from the schedule.

   6. Create a schedule entry to define the schedule span or repeating pattern for that shift.
   7. Select New and define the shift pattern, such as start and end time and the repeating pattern, such as daily.
      • The fields Type and Show as aren’t important for this configuration and can be ignored.
      • Set the end time to one second before the start of the next shift to avoid overlap.
      • The value between When and To is smaller than 24 hours.
      • Always select a value for the Repeats field. If no value is selected, the shift occurs only once.

      
   8. Select Submit.
      
7. Link functional locations to a schedule:
   1. Navigate to All > Equipment Model Entities.
   2. Select the functional location that you want to link to the schedule.
   3. For the column Schedule, enter the parent schedule that you created in the initial steps.
   4. Select and hold (or right-click) and select Save.
