GENRL Scheduler Parameters

The following control maintenance records belong to the GENRL (General) category and apply to the scheduler.

Check Scheduler On Login

Use this record to remind users to keep the Daily Planner or Daily Schedule filled in for each day so other people know where they are. More:

Options	Daily Planner - The system checks the Daily Planner. If there is no entry for that day, the following prompt displays: Enter Today's Schedule. Daily Scheduler - The system checks the user's Daily Schedule. If there is no entry for that day, the Daily Schedule window displays. The user must schedule an event, preferably one that indicates the user's availability for the day, before they can exit the window. No Checking - The system does not check to see if the user has an entry for that day in the Daily Planner or the Daily Schedule.
Outcome of setting this control record	Prompts the user to enter information in their Daily Planner and Daily Scheduler to ensure their calendars are up to date.
Default Value(s)	No Checking
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No Checking.
Additional Information	You can override this setting at the user level using the Prompt for Schedule on Login field in the Scheduler Parameters window, which is accessible from the Additional menu in User Maintenance. You can also override the Daily Planner option using the No Planner check box in User Maintenance.

Daily Schedule Default Hours

This record works with the Daily Schedule window and the settings for a user on the Scheduler Parameters window in User Maintenance. The default is No. More:

If set to Yes and the Auto Fill Daily Sched field on the Scheduler Parameters screen for a user is set to Yes, the system populates the Start column on the Daily Schedule screen with a time schedule as defined by the other entries on the Schedule Parameters screen.

If the Daily Start Time and Daily Schedule Interval fields are blank, the system displays a default hourly time schedule from 09:00am to 09:00pm.
If the Daily Schedule Interval field is set to Hourly and the Daily Start Time is not on a whole hour, the system rounds the first time in the Start column down to the nearest whole hour and then displays hourly intervals. If there is an event scheduled at a time that is not on the hour, it displays the actual time of the scheduled event.
If the Auto Fill Daily Sched field on the Scheduler Parameters screen for the user is set to No, the system does not fill in the Daily Schedule for the user.

If set to No, the system does not populate the Daily Schedule for a user unless the Auto Fill Daily Sched field on the Scheduler Parameters screen for the user is set to Yes.
