autom. COS changeover 
 


Settings | Classes of service | autom. COS changeover
 
The autom. COS Changeover feature is used to switch classes of service during the day. This is achieved by assigning specific profiles such as Management, Purchase, Warehouse, etc., to stations. For each profile, you can configure a separate schedule in which you define what class of service belongs to a specific segment of the day.
The assignment of a profile to a station is described in Section 9.7.1 "Station". The assignment of a class of service to a COS group is described in Section 9.7.2 "Day or Night".

9.7.9.1  

All database equal button 
This button is used to transfer the schedule for all profiles to all other open CDBs.

9.7.9.2  

Automatic COS Changeover flag 
If the autom. COS Changeover flag is not set (the default), the assignment of the class of service groups to the stations is not changed. A station can have different class of service groups for the day and night.
If the Autom. COS Changeover flag is set, a profile is assigned to a station instead of a COS group. Every profile has a different schedule in which the class of service groups are defined for specific time periods. The schedule can only be edited if the flag is activated.
Please note, however, that the station is still assigned a COS group for the night. The automatic COS changeover has no effect here.
The automatic night service feature overrides the automatic COS changeover feature. The schedule for the automatic COS changeover is only relevant during the day.
Note that a manual activation of the code lock disables the automatic COS changeover for the corresponding station.

9.7.9.3  

Area: Select profile 
You can select one of the 15 possible profiles here. The corresponding entries in the schedule for that profile will then apply.

9.7.9.4  

Area: Edit profile name 
The selected profile can be assigned an appropriate name here such as Management, Purchase or Warehouse, for example.

9.7.9.5  

Schedule 
Different class of service groups can be assigned to a profile for specific time periods in the schedule. The schedule covers the entire week (Monday through Sunday) as well as special days. Special days are public holidays or special days such as company holidays of the customer (see Section 9.7.8 "Special days").
The schedule for a day can be split into 4 time intervals.
These intervals can be defined sequentially and without gaps, i.e., the end time of the first interval may be identical to the start time of the second interval, for example.
However, an interval cannot have the same start and end times. The minimum length of an interval is one minute.
Only one time zone is supported by the system. Remote user groups who are working in different time zones are automatically switched over to the system time.

Editing the schedule with the left mouse button:  
You can select any field in the schedule by clicking in it with the left mouse button. When you then click on one of the Board1 to Board15 buttons to the right of the schedule, the appropriate class of service group is assigned to this field.

9.7.9.6  

Context menu 
The context menu is activated via the right mouse button:

Copy
Paste  
Existing time frames - even over multiple days - can be marked and then copied. To do this, simply mark the desired area and select Copy from the context menu. The copied area can then be inserted (pasted) at the current position by using the Paste function. Instead of the context menu, you can also use the standard keyboard shortcuts of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste, respectively.  
Delete  
The marked areas are deleted.  
 
Set resolution  
Defining the time resolution (1, 15, 30 or 60 minutes).
If the selected resolution is too low, the entry will not be visible and will be shown with an "*" prepended to the COS group (e.g., "*Board4"). You can display the complete contents by double-clicking on the field.
 
Properties  
This function can only be called when exactly one field has been selected. The Properties dialog box opens:  
   -   COS group: selection from class of service groups 1 through 15
   -   Start: The start time can be changed on a minute basis.
   -   End: The end time can be changed on a minute basis.
If multiple fields were selected, the Properties function will be disabled.  
Double-clicking on a field has the same effect as calling the Properties function via the context menu.
