not allowed.
• Collect Scheduled Availability information from the
control system.
Select this option if shift schedule changes on the site are
frequent and variable.
With this option selected, both shift information and an
optional Scheduled Availability value are collected from the
control system and used to define availability.
You can configure the option in the following ways:

Manager Topic/Device list, select the device from
which you want to load data points.
