NOTE: Do not confuse Alarm Redirection Calendars with ‘normal’ Calendars. ‘Normal’ Calendars are used alongside other ClearSCADA features, such as Schedules, to indicate functions that are to occur on specific dates in the year.
For information on ‘normal’ Calendars, see Configuring Calendars in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration.
Before you can redirect an item’s alarms on a calendar basis, you need to add and configure an alarm redirection Calendar.
NOTE: If many of the Calendars on your system are to use the same schedule times for the individual days of the week, you can set up default schedule times for those days. The default times can be set on a per server basis, using the Alarm Action Calendar section of the ClearSCADA Server Configuration Tool (see Alarm Action Calendar Settings in the ClearSCADA Guide to Server Administration). The defaults apply to each new Calendar that is added to your system.
To add a Calendar:
- Right-click on the System or Group to which you want to add the calendar (this might be a separate Group for storing redirection actions).
A context sensitive menu is displayed. - Select the Create New option.
A further menu is displayed. - Select the Alarm Redirection option.
A further menu is displayed. - Select the Calendar option.
A Calendar is added to the system. It is selected automatically, ready for you to enter its name. - Enter a suitable name for the Calendar (see Naming Restrictions in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).
- Select another part of the interface or press the ENTER key to confirm the entry.
When you have added a Calendar, you can Display the Calendar Editor and specify the redirection schedules that are required.
