  2. Select the schedule in the Schedule Selection list
  3. Select on the Frequency tab in the Schedule Details frame
  4. Select the existing frequency in the Frequency list
  5. Select the Edit button. The Frequency Definition Wizard displays
  6. Enter the changes in the wizard
  7. (Optional) Select Forecast to view the Forecast calendars, then select OK to close the window

  9. Select Close ☒ (to the right of the Schedule Master tab) to close the Schedule Master screen

FAQs​

Q: Do edits to schedule frequencies take effect immediately?

Changes saved to schedule frequencies in the Job Master take effect the next time the record is built or referenced. Edits to Daily table records apply only to the current instance.

Glossary​

Daily Tables: The OpCon database tables that hold the active, date-specific instances of schedules and jobs built for execution. Changes to daily tables affect only the current day's automation.

Frequency: A set of rules that defines when a job or schedule is eligible to run, based on calendar rules, day-of-week settings, period offsets, and other timing criteria.

Calendar: A named collection of dates in OpCon used by schedules and frequencies to determine when automation runs or is excluded. Calendars can represent holidays, working days, or any custom date set.

Schedule: A named container for jobs in OpCon, built for a specific date to create that day's automation. Schedules define build settings, frequencies, and the jobs that run within them.

Job: The fundamental unit of work in OpCon. A job defines what to run, on which machine, when to start, and what conditions must be met. Job results are tracked and can trigger events and notifications.
