Scheduler Guide
Starting from version 2.9 of Digihub, configuration changes for devices can be scheduled in advance. These scheduled changes are sent to the devices at the specified time. In Command Center (CS), this is implemented by specifying the date, time, and profile to be activated.
This document describes how to use the Scheduler in Command Center.
Accessing the Scheduler
For users with sufficient access rights, a new main menu item called "Scheduler" has been added.
When this menu item is activated, a list of organizations the user has access to is displayed on the left side of the screen. A badge indicates which organizations have scheduled events and the number of such events.
On the right side, a calendar shows all upcoming events. This view visualizes all scheduled events regardless of the organization. Events can be clicked to directly access their details.
Viewing events in an organisation
To create a new event or to get a more detailed overview of events per organization, first click on an organization.
When an organization is selected, a new page opens displaying a calendar showing only the events scheduled for that specific organization.
The menu on the left side offers an option to create a new event. It also provides a list view of scheduled events, showing the event name, scheduled time, and the number of devices configured for that event.
The "Back" arrow can be used to return to the main overview.
Create a new event
Clicking on "Create event" opens up a form.
The form for creating a new event has three fields:
1. Name
A user-defined name for the event.
2. Date and Time
The date and time when the configuration changes should be sent. The date must be at least 15 minutes in the future.
3. Profile
The configuration profile to be activated.
Profiles are managed in the management section of Command Center. The scheduler respects the profile configuration as it exists at the time the event occurs, not when it is created.
In fact: The scheduler will not only apply the settings mentioned in the profile. It actually also “links“ the selected profile to the devices as well.
After completing the form, click the "Save" button to save the event. The event will then be added to both the calendar and the list view.
Viewing and editing events
Clicking on an event (from the list or calendar view) allows you to view and edit the event. The form reappears, enabling changes to the name, time, or profi le. On the right side, a map displays the devices configured for this event.
To configure devices for a specific event, switch to the "Devices" tab. This tab displays a list of all devices currently configured.
Selecting Devices for an Event
Click the "Select devices" button to adjust the selection. This opens a new view where a list of groups is displayed on the left side.
The first group in the organization is selected by default. A badge next to each group shows which groups already have devices configured and the quantity. The "Back" arrow can be used to return to the previous overview without saving changes.
On the right side, a map shows the devices in the selected group. Gray devices are not selected, while purple devices are selected.
Devices can be selected or deselected by clicking on them. The "Remove all" and "Add all" buttons allow bulk selection or deselection of all devices in the current group.
You can switch between groups without saving changes during the selection process. Once all desired devices are selected, click the "Save" button in the top right corner of the screen to save the selection.
After successfully saving the device selection, the event view reappears with the complete selection visible.
