How to create schedules

In the SHYFT Connect App, you can preset schedules for your systems to work in a certain operating mode like ATS mode, Smart Mode etc per time based on your preference. You can add a single schedule or set of schedules at once for a day and you can repeat that schedule on a daily or weekly basis if needed. To add a schedule the user must be logged in as an administrator. Use the following steps to add a schedule:

1. Login to SHYFT Power app as administrator.
2. Navigate to the site dashboard.
3. Click on a site from the site table or map available on the dashboard.
4. This will open the site snapshot in a panel on the right side.
5. Click on the Go To site button from the right panel.
6. This will open the dashboard for the respective site.
7. Click on the fourth tab named “Schedule”.
8. This will open the schedule calendar. Please check the related screenshot below.
9. You can add a schedule in two ways

   9.1 By clicking on the “Create New Action” button available on the top. If you click this button it will open the “Create New Action” window to add a new schedule. In this mode, a single action will be created by default. However, you can still create a paired action by selecting the “Paired Action w/ Duration” radio button from the field titled “I want to schedule:”.

   

   9.2 By dragging the mouse from upward to downward on the current day or any future date. In this mode, a paired action (set of schedules) will be created at once.
