TimeEvent

The TimeEvent settings initiate map components of a system that is time-based. Each map component is run based on a time event, a source event, or a combination of multiple events. If a map component is not assigned an event trigger, the Launcher will not initiate that map to run. The TimeEvent settings are described in the following table.

TimeEvent Setting

Description

Switch

The Switch setting enables or disables TimeEvent options. The default value for the Switch setting is OFF (Disables TimeEvent options).

BeginAfter

The BeginAfter settings specify the period of time in hours, minutes, or seconds to wait (from the time the Launcher starts) before enabling the time trigger.

• Hour - The Hour setting is used to specify how many hours to wait to begin the map. The default value for the Hour setting is 0.
• Minute - The Minute setting is used to specify how many minutes to wait to begin the map. The default value for the Minute setting is 0.
• Second - The Second setting is used to specify how many seconds to wait to begin the map. The default value for the Second setting is 0.

Trigger

Use the Trigger setting to define the type of time event trigger. You can trigger a map based on a singular time event or cycle, according to a specified time increment. The default value is Once.

Trigger > Interval

Use the Interval setting to describe the recurring period to use for the trigger. The Interval setting is available only if the value of the Trigger setting is Every. The default value for the Interval setting is 1 Day(s).

Interval > At

Use the At settings to set a specific time for the trigger to start after the start of the interval defined in Interval settings. The At settings are only available if the value of the Trigger setting is Every. The time periods specified in the Hour, Minute, and Second settings describe a time based on a 24-hour clock set to system time.

• Hour - The Hour setting specifies the hour in which to run the map. The default value for the Hour setting is 0.
• Minute - The Minute setting specifies the minute in which to run the map. The default value for the Minute setting is 0.
• Second - The Second setting specifies the second in which to run the map. The default value for the Second setting is 0.

OmitDays

Use the OmitDays setting to set the days to omit.

• Monday - The Monday setting is used to omit Mondays from the time trigger schedule. The default value for the Monday setting is No.
• Tuesday through Sunday - These settings work the same way as the Monday setting.

OmitHours

Use the OmitHours setting to set the hours to omit.

• 0 - The 0 setting is used to omit the 0 hour (midnight to 1:00 am). The default value for the 0 setting is No.
• 1 through 23 - These settings work the same way as the 0 setting (above).

SkipIfBusy

Use the SkipIfBusy setting to ignore the time event trigger if it occurs when a watch instance is already in process. The default value is Yes.

EventCoordination

Use the EventCoordination setting to control the coordination of time event and input event triggers. The EventCoordination setting is available only if the map has both a time event trigger and one or more input event triggers; and the SourceEvent setting for one of the input cards is ON. The input event trigger can have wildcards. The default value for the EventCoordination setting is FirstAvailable.
