Configuring the Visual Scheduler
One of the best features of the Visual Scheduler is that you can visualize a schedule by looking at
the markers on the time bars. By having two bars next to each other you can see how they both are
affected over time. The problem comes if you have a lot of devices. HCA gives you quite a few
ways to help you control which times bars you see and in what order.
To open the configuration dialog press the
Configure button in the ribbon.
As you can see from this dialog you can choose to have the Visual Scheduler show time bars for
only those devices you have in the schedule, or you can have it show a selected set of devices. In
addition, there are options for controlling the order you see the bars.
Regardless of which display you choose, you can always add a time bar for a device you want to
add to the schedule. There are two ways to do that.
First, and the simplest way, is to select the device’s name in the design pane and drag it on to the
Visual Scheduler. Drop it on or before the bar to want it to appear before.
The other method is to use the VS setup dialog – shown above - and use the second display option
to select the devices you want to see and the order they should appear in.
Finally, if you use the display option where you pick the bars and their order, you can reorder the
bars by drag and drop within the VS. Click on a bar and drag it on or before the bar you want it to
appear before.
