Schedules Tree

Schedules Tree

The Schedules tree allows you to quickly view existing schedules and any points linked to them. Although you can create and edit schedule information in the Schedule tree, a schedule’s weekly and holiday events must be edited in the Schedules app.

View List of Schedules in the Project

• To view a list of all schedules used in the project, select Schedules from the Available Trees menu.
