o You specify time in increments of five minutes. Milestone Husky product helps you by
showing the time over which your mouse pointer is positioned.
If you base your schedule profile —or parts of it—on events within periods of time, remember to select
Start event and Stop event from the lists below the calendar section.
o Tip: If you have not yet defined any suitable events, you can quickly do it: use the
Configure events list, located below the other fields.
o To delete an unwanted part of a schedule profile, right-click it and select Delete.
o To quickly fill or clear an entire day, double-click the name of the day.
o As an alternative to dragging inside the calendar section, use the Start time, End time
and Day fields, then the Change Period or Set Period button as required. When using the
Start time and End time fields, remember that time is specified in increments of five
minutes. You cannot specify a period shorter than five minutes, and you can only use
times like 12:00, 12.05, 12:10, 12:15, etc. If you specify a time outside of the five-minute
intervals, such as 12:13, you will get an error message.
