MAIN MENU OPTIONS Attendant Management System - Attendant Statistics
Time IndicesThe Time Indices option on the Automated Report Generation menu is used to 
manage the time schedules used in automatically generating reports.
Figure 3-19   Time Indices
General Information
The time schedules, identified by their indices, must be built through this menu 
option before they are available to use in automatically generated schedules.  
Note:
No time indices can be added, changed, or deleted if the application was 
activated from an AMS hot key.   This option works only when the application was 
accessed from a UNIX login.  Any attempt to delete a time schedule that is 
currently being used with a report for automatic generation elicits an error 
message, and the attempt fails.  It is possible, however, to change
 a time schedule 
that is currently being used.  The change occurs just after exiting this option. 
Recommendation
It is recommended that indexed time schedules not be created for the brief period 
from 12:00 midnight to 12:05 a.m.  It is during this time that administrative utilities 
routinely function.

(Cont)Add a Time Index
The Add command on the Time Indices screen is used to add a new time schedule 
for use in automated generation of reports.
Figure 3-20   Add Time Schedule
Guidelines
An indexed schedule is created using several fields.  When these fields are read 
together, they create a one-time or repeated schedule that can be used with any 
hourly or daily (not current) formatted report.  The range for entries for each field 
is shown in parentheses in the field name (i.e., Hour of Day (0-23)).  Keep the 
following guidelines in mind while setting the time schedules:
The value entered in the Ti m e I nd ex field must be unique and between 1 and 
999.  This field is the ID number for the schedule and cannot be left blank.  
The Hour of Day and Minute fields must be given a single value within the range 
shown for each.  The rest of the fields may have either a value or one of the 
following entries:
-  An asterisk (*) may be used to specify all values within the given range.
-  A list of numbers can be entered, separated by commas, limited only by the 
field size of five characters.
-  Two numbers separated by a hyphen may be used to set a range of values.  
This range must be within the overall field range, and only one range may 
be shown per field.
-  Do not use commas and hyphens in the same field.  Type either a series or a 
range, but not both.
Day of Week range begins on Sunday (0) and ends on Saturday (6).
Day of Month must lie within the Month of Year shown (e.g., not the 30th day 
of February).

field size of five characters.
-  Two numbers separated by a hyphen may be used to specify a range of 
values.  This range must be within the overall field range. 
Restriction on Changes
A schedule that is now being used in automated report generation can be changed.  
The change is made with its assigned automated report(s) just after exiting from 
this option.
