Q: Freebird Utility: Advanced Scheduler What is it?
A: The Freebird advanced scheduler allows a user to define a master schedule, add the Trend ord for the Subordinate Schedule Export and control that subordinate schedule (or multiple schedules) under the dictates of the Master schedule Exception list. It can be individually exported or the master can initiate the export, sending its exceptions direct to the controller. If there is need to override the master exception, then a new exception can be written to the excepted schedules exception list at a higher priority.
To better aid configuration a user can export a list of schedules from the supervisor and copy them all into one comma separated list. All the schedules in the list will receive the exported exceptions from the master.
