Hi there,
How can we create a two-week timetable and set up a custom repeat function for biweekly scheduling?
Also, is it feasible to introduce randomness to the duration of the lunch break? How could this be implemented?
Choose Custom Repeat as the mode and enter the time after which the time table should restart. There is no graphical interface available when you choose the custom mode though. You can either fill in the table manually or you first use the Date Based mode, mark the down times for a two week period then switch the mode. The times will stay in the table.
To add a random factor to the duration, you would set up a down behaviour in which resuming the object is also scheduled in the down function.
Take for example the option Travel To Location, Delay Until Down Time Complete. It dispatches a task sequence to a task executer that keeps it busy until the end of the down time. The resume function is not actually needed in that case. Meaning that you can alter the duration in the down function code. The resume function will still trigger after the original duration, but since it doesn't anything this isn't an issue.
For a fixed resource you could schedule a delayed message in the down function and set the message trigger of the object to resume it.
