Deleting Named Schedule Instances

A named schedule instance associates a predefined instance name with a schedule so that OpCon builds a separate copy of the schedule for each defined instance. Deleting a named schedule instance removes that association permanently. This action cannot be undone.

warning

If a named schedule instance has cross-schedule job dependencies, OpCon prevents removal until those dependencies are resolved.
