Working with APOGEE P2 Events

Do the following procedures as needed:

Create an Event

Once you have defined zones, you can create event definitions for the activities that will place the demands on the zones.

Creating an event definition includes defining the name and description of the event, after which you create an event schedule and specify the zones for the event.

NOTE:
To conserve memory, the system purges event schedules and replacement days that are 31 days or older.

  1. Click Save .
  1. In the Save dialog box, enter a name and description.
