Disabling and enabling situation overrides

A situation override starts as soon as you define it or when you have it scheduled. You can also manually enable and disable situation overrides. This procedure applies to any override definition for a situation, scheduled or not.

Before you begin

This procedure enables or disables all the overrides for the situation. If you have any overrides that you no longer need to keep, you can selectively remove them beforehand.

Procedure

  1. Click Situation Editor or right-click the Navigator item that the situation is associated with and click Situations.
  2. In the Situations tree, right-click the situation. Situations with override definitions show an Overrides exist override indicator at the right end of the status bar.
  3. Click one of the following options:
    • Enable Situation Overrides to activate the override (or overrides) for the situation. Any unscheduled and scheduled overrides for this situation are now enabled. Unscheduled overrides begin running immediately; scheduled overrides are activated at their designated time.
    • Disable Situation Overrides to deactivate the override (or overrides) for the situation. Any expression overrides for this situation that are running are stopped and disabled; the original situation definition is now in effect. Any scheduled overrides do not resume until you have enabled them again manually or edit the schedule.
