This property page defines the dates and times when Novell® Application LauncherTM/Explorer will make the Application object available to users.
Schedule Type
Select the type of schedule you want to use.
You can choose None, Specified Days, or Range of Days.
None
Use this option to indicate no schedule. The Application object becomes available to an object as soon as the application's system requirements have been established (Availability > System Requirements page) and the application has been associated with the object (Associations page).
Specified Days
Use this option to select specific dates when you want the Application object to be available. You cannot select more than 350 specific dates.Date Range
The Date Range list displays all dates when the Application object will be available. To add a date, click Add > select the date you want > click OK to display it in the list.Times for Selected Dates
Select the availability start time and end time. The times apply to all dates in the Date Range list. Note that the time increments in 5 minute intervals, with the earliest available start time being 00:00 (12:00AM) and the latest end time being 23:55 (11:55PM). This means that, because of the way the time intervals increment, there will always be a 5 minute time period from 11:55 pm to 12:00 midnight when the application is unavailable. If you want the application to be available the entire day, you need to use the Range of Days schedule type.
Spread from Start Time (in Minutes)
In the Spread from Start Time (in Minutes) field, enter a number of minutes between available times if you don't want all users to run the application at the same time for fear of overloading the network. The spread option spreads out user access times over the number of minutes specified so they don't all run the application at once.
Range of Days
Use this option to select a range of dates to make the application available. You can also use this option to make applications available only on certain days of the week within a given range of dates.Date Range
To define the range of days, select a start date and an end date, then select the days (Sunday through Saturday) within the established date range that the application will be available. By default, all days are selected; a day is selected when the button is depressed.Times for Selected Range
Select the availability start time and end time. This option works differently depending on whether you selected one day, multiple days or all seven days. If you selected one day or multiple days (but not all seven days), the application will be available between the start and end times on those days. For example, if you make the application available on Monday between 8:00 and 5:00, it will run between 8:00 and 5:00. However, if you selected all seven days, the times are ignored. The application will be available every day, 24 hours a day.
Spread From Start Time (in Minutes)
In the Spread from Start Time (in Minutes) field, enter a number of minutes between available times if you don't want all users to run the application at the same time for fear of bringing down the network because of the load and traffic.Use this Schedule in GMT for All Clients
The schedule you establish is based on the workstation's time zone. If your network spans different time zones and you schedule an application to run at 1:00 p.m., it runs at 1:00 p.m. in each time zone. You can select the Use the Schedule in GMT for All Clients option to have workstations run applications at the same time regardless of their time zones (for example, 1:00 p.m. Rome time and 11:00 p.m. Los Angeles time).
