you select the day from the calendar by clicking on it in the Select Day frame. Clicking
an a System\Object name will display the last command scheduled with the
parameters sent. The Time frame
is where you select the hour 0 - 23 and the minute 0 - 59 for the command to be

Object Schedule After Add checkbox checked, the entire schedule for the
selected object will be displayed on the Object
Schedule tab after the Add Schedule
button is clicked. The View Objects
button will change the lower display from displaying the Scheduling Groups to displaying a list of Objects as in the previous display. The Open button
will open the selected group. You
can double-click the group name to open it. The Copy button

Scheduling Group but does not send the scheduled command to Metasys.
Use this when setting up new objects in a group. The View Schedule button will display the schedule for the selected object on the Object Schedule tab and take you there. If a group is selected instead of an object, the schedule for all objects in the group is sent to excel for viewing, printing or saving as a file. See Excel output below. The Schedule Group button will issue any commands that have been saved for the objects in the group. The date and time selected will be sent with the stored commands. If any System\Object has not been previously scheduled, it will stop and you will have to select the command to send.
