After a schedule has been created, you may need to change when the presentation is shown. PADS4 Scheduler provides several methods to modify the display period of a schedule, allowing you to easily adjust start and end times.

​
Available Methods

You can update the schedule period using any of the following approaches:

​
1. Using the Edit Schedule Window

This is the most precise method.

​
Steps:

  1. Open the Edit Schedule window by right-clicking the schedule and selecting Edit > Series or Occurrence, depending on the type.
  2. In the Display Period section, modify the:
    • From (start time)
    • Until (end time)
  3. Click OK to apply your changes.

​
2. Using Drag & Drop in Calendar View

This allows you to quickly move a schedule to a different day.

​
Steps:

  1. Ensure Calendar View is enabled.
  2. Locate the schedule in the calendar.
  3. Click and hold the schedule.
  4. Drag it to the desired new date.
  5. Release the mouse button to drop it in place.

Only the date will change. The time of day remains the same unless adjusted manually in the Edit Schedule window.

​
3. Using Drag & Drop in Timeline View

This method provides greater control over both date and time, especially useful for fine-tuning.

​
Steps:

  1. Ensure Timeline View is enabled.
  2. Hover your mouse over the edge of the schedule block (start or end).
    • The cursor will change to a double arrow.
  3. Click and drag the edge to extend or shorten the time period.
  4. Release the mouse button when the desired time range is reached.

You can adjust both the start and end times directly on the timeline.

These flexible options make it easy to adjust your content’s schedule with precision or speed, depending on your needs.
