Managing change windows in the calendar
The Change Window Calendar displays day-by-day scheduling information for change windows. You can drill down into the cell for a day and view all of the change windows that are scheduled for that day. You can view, modify, or delete the individual change windows that are scheduled for a date.
About this task
The Change Window Calendar displays change window scheduling information as follows:
- A link that is displayed in a date cell indicates the combined duration of all scheduled change windows for that day. For example, 5:00 hours indicates that the change windows for that date have a combined duration of five hours.
- If all of the scheduled change windows have overlapping time periods, only the time duration link is displayed in the date cell. For example, if 5:00 hours is the only item that is displayed in a cell, all of the scheduled change windows overlap.
- If one or more scheduled change windows do not overlap, the number of windows is displayed in the cell. For example, if two overlapping change windows have a combined duration of five hours, and a third non-overlapping change window has a duration of two hours, the link displays 7:00 hours. In addition, 2 windows is displayed.
- If a change window spans midnight, links in each corresponding cell display the portion of the change window that occurs in that day. For example, if you create a two-hour change window from 11:00 PM on Monday until 01:00 AM on Tuesday, the Monday and Tuesday cells will each display 1:00 hours. If the midnight-spanning change windows are scheduled daily, the link in each date cell displays 2:00 hours, with 2 windows displayed.
