Schedule Page

A typical schedule configuration is shown on the figures below.

Two schedule views are available:

Calendar View

In the central part of the page, the configured schedule is displayed in a calendar widget, scrollable and searchable by date.

By default, the schedule for the current week is displayed.

Each line corresponds to one day, the current date is highlighted in bold in the grid. Each schedule entry is shown as a separate bar, with start and end date specified.

The buffer times, if set, are displayed around the entry as margins. A blue margin indicates a positive buffer time (set outside  the schedule hours), a red margin indicates a negative buffer time (set inside  the schedule hours). The start and end time displayed on each entry bar takes buffer times into account and shows the actual time when the schedule activation and deactivation alarms (if set) will be triggered.

The following operations are available from the widget (see the figure above):
