Auto Start Operation Based on Schedule
|
If you want a given operation to begin automatically based on the schedule, ensure a Trigger Operation Begin is configured with Auto set to True and the Mode set to "Schedule (time)" as seen below. Then, the schedule entry will automatically start the appropriate response objects based on the schedule. Note: If an Operations Definition is configured so that it can begin automatically when triggered from a schedule (DefaultBeginTrigger = Auto), make sure that the associated Operations Segment for changeover also has its Auto checkbox enabled (it will not be enabled by default).
