In the schedule summary, each scheduled item shows its status to indicate what's happening to it.
To better understand these states, some definitions are useful:
- Where possible, Observant scheduling makes use of pre-scheduling. Pre-Scheduling means that the Observant field unit is informed about the schedule ahead of time. This is done 30 minutes prior to the first scheduled item beginning.
- At the time an item is set to open/close (or start/stop), the scheduling program will try to verify the state of the item to make sure it has operated successfully.
