Timeslot patterns
What is a timeslot pattern?
A pattern is a list of start times for one or more timeslot types. A pattern can be a list of one-day timeslot types distributed over a week. When using manual scheduling you may save time by using a pattern instead of having to schedule each time.
Creating/Changing a pattern
You can find the timeslot patterns using the menu Settings -> Timeslot Patterns. Here is the screen shown for the timeslot patterns. On the left side you can see a list of the created timeslot patterns (only one entry here).
When creating a new pattern you must as a minimum provide the following information
- Name
Field description
Name
Enter a name for the pattern.
Description
Here you can optionally provide a description for the pattern.
The tabel with start times for the timeslot types
Using the Add link a row is added to the table. In the "Timeslot Type" column you can select the timeslot type, "Day No." says when the time is placed relative to the start day the pattern is applied to (number of days to add), and time of day is the start time.
The screen above shows a week pattern for the day timeslot type. There are 7 rows corresponding to 7 days. If the pattern is applied to a monday then the first row corresponds to a time at Monday 08:00, next row is +1 day ie. Tuesday 08:00 and so on.
