How To Configure Schedules in Device ManageR

You may set schedules for your alerts and actions in AVTECH’s Device ManageR.

1. Open Device ManageR in your web browser. You may open it by entering ‘localhost:8080’ or ‘<IP address of host system>:8080’ in your browser’s address bar.

2. Select Alerts/Tasks in the navigation bar to the left.

3. In the Alerts/Tasks menu, select Optional Schedules.

4. When the Add New ‘Optional Schedule’ window appears, you’ll see a default schedule populate, which you can then modify.

– To delete the time range for a specific day, select the minus sign next to it.

– To add a time range for a specific day, select the plus sign next to it. Note that you may have 2 time ranges associated with one day if you wish.

– To modify a time range, hover your mouse over it. Then either type in new values, or use the up/down arrows to change the values.

– To copy a time range from one day to another, select the drop-down menu next to the day in the Copy To column. You may copy to All, M-F or to a specific day.

5. In Name, enter a descriptive name for your schedule. Ours is called ‘M-F overnight (5 PM to 9 AM).’ This name is what appears in action and alert drop-down menus.

6. In Description, you may enter any notes you feel would be helpful to explain the schedule.

7. Then select Save. In our example, we’ve set up a Monday through Friday 5 PM to 9 AM overnight schedule. Notice that it requires 2 time ranges for each day: one for morning and one for evening.

8. Your new schedule will then populate the Optional Schedules list.

9. It will also now be available as an option in Alerts, Actions and Scheduled Tasks that you add or edit.

When you attach your schedule to one of these items, it will run inside the time frame that you chose. In our example, an Alert, Action or Scheduled Task with this schedule would run between 5 PM and 9 AM, Monday through Friday.
