Modifying Scheduling Script Properties

For a scheduling script you can modify the following properties:

• The scheduling script name.
• The name of the extended status group that is currently used with this script.

Modifying a Scheduling Script's Properties

1. Either right-click the script and choose Properties from the shortcut menu, or select the required script in the list and click the Properties button on the toolbar.

The Script Properties page opens.

2. Edit the script name and/or the extended status group as required.

Note that only extended statuses belonging to the selected group will be available for creating sub-rules for this scheduling script (go to Specifying a Scheduling Script Rule for more information). Information about the extended status group is not exported or imported along with the scheduling script.

3. Click Save to save changes, or Cancel to discard changes.

Copying Scheduling Script Properties to the Default Scheduling Script

If you frequently find it convenient to use a particular scheduling script's rules with the surveys you run, you may want to use this script's properties as the default. You can then copy a scheduling script's properties to the default script (the "All Hours Original" scheduling script).

To do this:

In the list, click on the scheduling script you wish to copy to select it, and choose Copy to default from the context menu that appears.

The system will automatically create a backup copy of the current default scheduling script before copying over all the settings from the selected scheduling script.

The newly updated default scheduling script will be assigned the "All Hours Original" name, while the old default script will be given a name ending in "...backup (time/date stamp)" (go to Viewing Scheduling Scripts List for more information).
