PM5 Schedules

Programming changes to be uploaded to the telephone system can be uploaded at a later time by attaching them to a schedule. Multiple schedules can be created and each schedule can have multiple tasks attached to it. A schedule will only be offered for attaching tasks if the schedule time is in the future. Once a schedule has been activated and a task performed, that task will be deleted from the schedule.

Note: If PhoneMaster is not running at the time a schedule is due to perform tasks, the tasks will not be performed. However, the tasks will not be deleted and the schedule time can be changed to some time in the future.
