Schedule

A schedule object defines weekly time schedules that you can use throughout your system. You can use schedules to control access to doors, schedule imports and system tasks, and trigger events. The C•CURE 9000 server uses schedules for access control and to perform certain activities, such as time based events, at specified times.

For example, you can use a Schedule to specify at which times a person has access to a door (access control) or at which times alarms will be automatically armed (time-based event). Schedule time is local to the client, controller, or panel.

Each schedule contains one or more Time Periods that make up a week. A Schedule is designed to provide the same active and inactive time periods every week of the year. The Time Periods define the days of the week and periods of time in hours, minutes, and seconds when the schedule is active.

You can include one or more Holiday Groups on a schedule. Holiday Groups specify the Holidays that apply to the Schedule, on which days normal activation of the Schedule does not occur.

For example, if you have a Holiday Group that identifies several days as holidays, on those days a Schedule that normally allows employees to use a Clearance to gain access is instead inactive. Consequently, the employees are not be able to use a Clearance to gain access to the building.

You can specify Holiday Time Intervals on a Schedule that override the normal effect of the Holidays. These Intervals specify a Holiday Group and optionally the Start and End Time for the Holiday Group.

Schedules and Holidays operate according to the capabilities of the controller they are downloaded to, or the capabilities of the C•CURE 9000 Server, for server-based Events and Actions (such as running a Report or performing a backup).
