indicate the selected period can be specified.
To specify the colour used for a day’s periods:
1. When the Diary Week Day Scheme Editor is displayed, right-click the day, and click Choose Colour.
The Color dialogue box is displayed.
2. Click the required colour. To use a custom colour click Define Custom Colors>>.
3. Click OK.

3.6.2 Adjust Occupation Times
During the course of normal operation, it will be necessary to change occupation times of the system. If the weekly
working times of an area have changed permanently it is necessary to change the normal occupation times for the
diary group(s) controlling that area. If a day requires its occupation times to be different to the normal times (e.g. a
bank holiday) an exception should be added. Exceptions can be added using a template, using the wizard, or on a
one off basis. The changes will automatically be sent to the controller before they are required. If a controller is
operating the wrong times during a day it is possible to change the times in the controller by adjusting the time
zones directly.
3.6.2.1 Add an Exception
3.6.2.1.1 Add an Exception Using a Template
To add an exception using a template:
1. Log in as described in the ‘Log In’ section of this manual.
2. Click or on the Mode menu click Diary to select the Diary Display.
3. Click the Group Time Planner tab.
4. Click the part of the diary navigation structure below containing the groups that are to have the exception
applied.
5. On the Group Time Planner tab click the day to which the exception is to be added and click Apply Time
Scheme, or right-click the day to which the exception is to be added and click Apply Time Scheme. To
select a range of days right-click the first day and drag the mouse over them. If the required day is not
visible click or until it is visible. A dialogue box is displayed listing the templates that can be used for
the exception.
6. Click the required template. A dialogue box asking if you want to download the changes now or configure
the scheduler to do it later is displayed, click the required option and then click OK.
Note that when adding an exception to more than one diary group 963 checks the other groups to see if
there is already template with the same name. If there is, 963 uses the times from that template.
