Style rules definition

You can create a style span to specify the color for different events in a change schedule. Style spans in a schedule help to quickly identify characteristics of a change based on a field value from the Change Request.

Change Schedules includes several base styles to ensure every schedule has span styles to begin with. By default, Blackout Schedules are represented by a gray color, Maintenance schedules are represented by a light blue color and change requests are represented by either red (risk = High), orange (risk = moderate), or green (risk = low).

To define style rules, you must activate Change Management - Change Schedule plugin (com.snc.change_management.soc).

You can define styles in multiple ways, such as from the Default Style Rules, Change Schedule definitions, or from the Span Style window in the Change Schedule timeline.

Note:

All style rule tables extend the Style Rule Core table [chg_soc_style_rule_core].

• Define default style rules
  You can define style rules from the Default Style Rules module when you want the style rules to be used by change schedules globally and not for any specific application.
• Define style rules from Change Schedule Definitions
  You can define style rules from change schedule definitions when you want the style rules to be applied to the change schedule related to the change schedule definition.
• Define style rules from Change Schedules View
  You can create style rules from the change schedules view when you want the style rules to be applied to the specific change schedule where it is defined.
