Schedule Attributes: Create, View, Rename, Delete, Publish, Assign

Schedule attributes are a tool that can make it easier for you to locate or identify schedules with some property in common.  You can create attributes with a name of your choosing.  After attributes are created they must be published to make them available in the system.  After they are published, an attribute can be assigned to one or more schedules.  When schedules are listed in tables, such as in the global scheduling application, one column of the table contains schedule attributes, permitting you to sort the table on attribute values.

 

To create a schedule attribute:

  1. Go to Actions and Settings | Schedule Attributes.
  2. Click Add New Schedule Attribute. The Tracer Ensemble Schedule Attribute pop-up window appears.
  3. Type a name for the new attribute in the New Attribute Name field.
  4. Click Save.

 

To view or rename a schedule attribute:

  1. Go to Actions and Settings | Schedule Attributes.
  2. All the schedule attributes, their published status, and the assignment status are shown.
  3. To rename an attribute, click its name.  The Tracer Ensemble Schedule Attribute pop-up window appears.
  4. Type a name for the new attribute in the New Attribute Name field.
  5. Click Save.

 

To publish schedule attributes and make them available for assignment:

  1. Go to Actions and Settings | Schedule Attributes.
  2. Attributes that have not already been published contain a No in the Published column of the table.
  3. Select the schedule attributes.
  4. Click Publish.

 

Deleting an attribute removes it from the list and automatically removes its assignment from any schedules.

To delete schedule attributes:

  1. Go to Actions and Settings | Schedule Attributes.
  2. Select the schedule attributes.
