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.
Thanks @Felix Möhlmann for the response.
I understood how to set biweekly repeat. But for the down behavior, how can I change the code to make the downtime duration random? For example, if an operator has a lunch break and I want the break duration to vary randomly between 30 minutes to 1 hour, what changes do I need to make in the custom code within the Down Function?
Line 22 - swap duration for your own value or adjust it with a distribution sampled before that line:
