To create a new schedule group, navigate to the Settings (gear icon) - Locations - Locations page using the main navigation menu found on the left side of the account.
Next, to initiate the schedule group creation process, click + Add Schedule Group in the upper right corner of the Locations page.
Clicking this button will display a number of fields that can be filled in, some required, some optional. Below is a list of the fields, what they are, which are required, and which are optional.
There are two options:
The Set As Default Schedule Group option will make the schedule group being edited the Default schedule group. When jobs are being added / edited, this is the schedule group that will be selected by default. Additionally, this will be the schedule group that is viewed by default via the Schedule page.
The Set As An Inactive Schedule Group option will mark the schedule group being edited as Inactive. Once the schedule group has been marked as Inactive, the schedule group will not be displayed via the Schedule page, or able to be selected when creating or editing jobs.
