Assign Days of the Week to Day Types

Once you have created day types you can assign each day of the week that requires scheduling in an area to its appropriate day type.

Example

For example, if you created a day type called Weekend and your plant adheres to a weekend schedule on both Saturday and Sunday, you assign Saturday and Sunday to the Weekend day type.

Note: In each area, you can only assign a day of the week (for example, Monday) to one day type.

However, you can have day types to which no days of the week are assigned

When you assign a day of the week to a day type, the day of the week (for example, Wed) displays in its day type color. The Action Calendar displays days that you have not yet assigned in black. Once you assign a day of the week to a day type you can assign it to a different day type. However, you cannot change it back to being unassigned.

There are several methods to assign days of the week to day types. Following is a description of three methods to assign days of the week to day types. You perform the first two in Day Type mode, the third in Calendar mode

When you select Day Type mode in the Schedule Type group (above the Day Type Legend) you will see the days Sun through Sat underneath the grid. (You will not see days of the month.). While in this mode you can either call up the Day of Week Assignments dialog box or use a shortcut method..
