Overview

SHOWRUNNER™ includes a robust Scheduler which enables users to create Events that modify the Sequence of Operations on a room-by-room basis. Events can be scheduled to trigger at a specific time during the day or they can be scheduled in relation to sunrise or sunset. In Standard deployments of SHOWRUNNER™, it is possible to have these Events recur every day of the week or on a selection of weekdays. With the Advanced Scheduling option, however, the options for Scheduling which days an Event triggers are greatly enhanced.

Recurrence Types

Weekly Recurrence

Weekly Recurrence is the only Recurrence Type included in SHOWRUNNER™ Standard. To set up a Weekly Recurrence, begin by pressing "Weekly Recurrence" underneath the "Recurrence Type" heading. A check mark will appear to indicate that a selection has been made.

By default, any Events that a User creates will trigger every day of the week. Press the "Edit Weekly" button to display the Recurrence Day selection menu. Check marks appear next to days that the Event will trigger. Press these check marks to disable the Event for these days. Once the desired days are selected, press the Update button to confirm. After confirming, press the "Save" button to save the changes. Now the Event will only trigger on the selected Recurrence Days.

Calendar

The Calendar Recurrence Type included with the SHOWRUNNER™ Advanced Scheduling Option allows Users to create company-specific Calendars that take into account special events, seasonal scenes, and company holidays. To set up a Calendar-based recurrence, begin by pressing "Calendar" underneath the "Recurrence Type" heading. A check mark will appear to indicate that a selection has been made. If you have purchased Advanced Scheduling and the Calendar option is still grayed out, contact Chief Integrations.

Weekly and Calendar

The Weekly and Calendar Recurrence Type included with the SHOWRUNNER™ Advanced Scheduling Option is a combination of the Weekly Recurrence and Calendar options. To set up a Weekly and Calendar recurrence, begin by pressing "Weekly and Calendar" underneath the "Recurrence Type" heading. A check mark will appear to indicate that a selection has been made. If you have purchased Advanced Scheduling and the Calendar option is still grayed out, contact Chief Integrations.

With the Weekly and Calendar Recurrence Type selected, both the "Edit Calendar" and "Edit Weekly" options are enabled. Creating new Calendars or Calendar Groups is the same process as with the Calendar Recurrence Type selected. Likewise, the "Edit Weekly" button behaves the same as with the Weekly Recurrence Type selected. The difference between Weekly and Calendar and just Calendar Recurrence types is in how the Inclusion and Exclusion lists behave. 

With no Calendars or Calendar Groups added to either the Inclusion or Exclusion list, the Event will trigger only on the days specified in the Recurrence Days menu accessed by pressing the Edit Weekly button.

Events will never trigger on dates that have been added to the Exclusion Calendar list
