Scheduling Site Events

Site events are actions that can affect the entire site, like email notifications. When you configure a site event, you are given the option to assign a schedule to the event. Schedules control when events can occur — at specific times during a day, or only on specific days.

When you see the Schedule option while configuring an event, you can select an existing schedule or create a new schedule.

• To use a preconfigured schedule, select an option from the drop down list. The default option is Always, which allows the event to run constantly.
• To change a schedule, select the schedule then click > .
• To delete a schedule, select the schedule then click > . In the following confirmation dialog box, click OK.
• To create a schedule, click then select . When the Edit… dialog box is displayed, complete the following steps:
  1. Give the new schedule a name.
  2. Give the first recurrence a name.

     You can add multiple recurrences to create a detailed schedule. For example, you could create one recurrence to cover every weekend, plus extra recurrences to cover public holidays.

     • To add extra recurrences, click .
     • To delete a recurrence, select the recurrence then click .
  3. For each recurrence, define the duration by entering a Start: and End: time.

     Be aware that if you enter an End: time that is earlier than the Start: time, the event will span two days. For example, if the schedule is set to start at 12:00 pm and end at 11:59 am, the event is automatically enabled from 12:00 pm on day 1 and will end at 11:59 am on day 2.

  4. In the Start Date: field, enter when the recurrence should begin.
  5. In the Recurrence pattern area, select the frequency of the recurrence.
