Work with a Schedule Definition

A schedule definition is a named set of one or more scheduling types to be included in a schedule. For example, a schedule definition can include test point, rectifier, and bond scheduling types – each with different scheduling properties set up in the Edit Schedule Settings window.

Refer to Schedule Type Settings for a description of fields.

A schedule definition is used when performing any of the following tasks in PCS:

• viewing facilities in a data entry grid based on a schedule

• building a survey in a data entry grid based on a schedule

• transferring a survey that is based on a schedule to the field computer or mobile device

• printing a data collection form that is based on a schedule for manually recording survey data

Two types of schedule definitions are available for use. They include installed and addition schedule definitions. An installed schedule definition is one that has been installed during the PCS software installation. An addition schedule definition is one that you create.
