Schedules

Schedule Screen

Screen Overview

The Schedule screen provides a centralized list of all schedules configured in BluSKY across selected systems. Use this page to search, view, create, edit, delete, and export Access Schedules and Device Schedules. Filters at the top narrow the results, and the grid displays key schedule attributes with quick navigation to details.

Field Definitions

Field Label	Definition	Notes
System (filter)	Dropdown to limit results to a specific BluSKY system/site.	Defaults to “-- All --”. Narrowing by system improves performance and relevance.
Search (filter)	Status filter for the list.	Options shown include “Active” and “All”. “Active” is the default.
View (filter)	Additional result scoping for the grid.	Defaults to “All”. Used to change which schedule subsets are shown (e.g., types).
Search Text	Free-text search entry.	Placeholder indicates search by Name. Press Submit or Enter to run.
Active / All (chip)	Quick status toggle indicator at the top left of the screen.	Mirrors the Search (filter) selection; clicking the chip switches the view.
Selected/Total counter	Shows how many rows are currently selected out of the total results.	Format: “n/total”. When none are selected, only the total count is shown.
Name (column)	The schedule name.	Click the linked name to open the schedule details.
System (column)	The system/site that owns the schedule.	Read-only on the list; editable in the schedule record.

System Behaviors and Edge Cases

The action bar adapts to selection state:
- No selection: Create, Export available.
- One selection: Create, View, Edit, Delete, Export available.
- Multiple selections: Create, Delete, Export available.
Export includes only rows that match current filters; it does not require selecting rows.
Deletion may be blocked if a schedule is referenced elsewhere (e.g., assigned to access levels or devices); an error or warning will appear.
Date Inserted reflects the user’s locale/time zone settings; values may differ between users in different regions.
Searching without entering any criteria and with View=All may return a large result set; refine using System or Search Text for faster results.

Permissions

Accessible to users with administrative rights such as Global Administrators and Tenant Administrators.
Create/Edit/Delete actions require the appropriate schedule management permissions (e.g., ManageSchedules or equivalent).
Users without edit rights can view and export but cannot modify or delete schedules.

Linked Workflows

Assign Access Schedules to Access Levels to control when access is granted.
Attach Device Schedules to doors/readers, panels, or automation rules to control device behavior by time.
Use schedules within Door Mode or Elevator Mode configurations for time-based unlocking or floor availability.
Reference schedules in rule engines or event automation where time-based conditions are needed.
