Issue
- What effect do Central Time Charts have on a Xenta time schedule object?
- Can the Central Time Chart be selectively overridden at individual units?
- Making changes to a Xenta time schedule results in the following Information message:
A central week chart and a central alternative chart are defined.
any changes made in the chart will be overridden by the central charts. - Xenta time schedule events are shown with an asterisk (*) next to the start time.
Environment
- Vista Workstation
- Time Chart - TAC Xenta
- Time Chart - Global
- Time Chart - Local
Cause
If a central time chart has been defined for a Xenta time schedule object, the central time chart will override the operation completely (both for scheduled on and scheduled off times).
Resolution
- Double click a Time Chart - TAC Xenta object in Vista Workstation. The edit dialog is shown.
- Click on the third tab, Central Time Charts
- Select either a Time Chart - Global or a Time Chart - Local object to override the Xenta time schedule object. This can be done selectively for just Weekly recurring events, just Holiday alternative events, or both.
- Once selected, all events defined in the Xenta time chart will be shown with asterisks (*) indicating that they are being overwritten by a Central Time Chart.
- Exceptions cannot be made to the Central Time Chart for individual units.
