A schedule is an entity that defines a set of time constraints that can be applied to a multitude of situations in the system. Each time constraint is defined by a date coverage (daily, weekly, ordinal, or specific) and a time coverage (all day, fixed range, daytime, and nighttime).
Schedule conflicts
You might have a scheduling conflict when two overlapping schedules apply to the same function. For example, if two schedules apply to the recording of the same camera.
Security Center can resolve some of these conflicts by giving priority to the most specific (or restrictive) schedule, which is determined by its date coverage option in the following order of decreasing priority:
- Specific (runs only once, highest priority)
- Ordinal (repeats on a monthly or yearly basis)
- Weekly (repeats every week)
- Daily (repeats every day)
- Always (default schedule, lowest priority)
IMPORTANT: When two overlapping schedules with the same priority level apply to
the same function, an unresolved conflict occurs. If the two schedules are applied to an
entity, an Entity warning occurs, and the entity with the conflicting configuration
is displayed in yellow in the entity browser.
