IF the schedule makes it that SA isn't doing many check for
that specific entry , then having a MAINTENANCE until for just 1 hour should not
be a problem.
Look at my "other example"

My limited understanding of the issue as
proposed:
In order to set the 'maintenance until' to the next
scheduled time period then, the user has to know what the schedule is, then
set the 'maintenance until' to run into that time period so that it goes
from 'maintenance until' directly to 'maintenance due to schedule'.
The problem here is that with a large number of checks, I'm not going to
remember all the different schedules. I would have to open up the check, see
what it's schedule was, calculate a good time, then cancel out of that, then set
the 'maintenance until' setting.
What about this, if SA internally kept it as 'maintenance
until' BUT offered an option to automatically calculate that time based on the
checks schedule if it has one? This could be inserted into the right click menu
as two options, one for the user to enter a time period, and a second to set the
'maintenance until' to when the check is set to go on 'maintenance by schedule'
as an internal calculation?
Would this solve both user requests and be
workable?

I think you might be misunderstanding how this would
work.
Let me try to explain.
Example:
entry_1 has a schedule that says NOT to check on
Friday from 6am until 8pm
On Friday at 4am you maunal set it to
maintenance (NOT changing the schedule!) for 4 hours
This means that the next cycle let's assume at
4:10am the entry is not checked since it's in maintenance.
...
At 8am (to be correct first cycle after
8am) we remove the maintenance flag (4 hours after the time it was set to
maintenance), and we see that due to the schedule is set NOT to be checked ->
entry is not checked.
First we look at the maintenance/active flag. And IF
that flag gives an "active" as result then we check the schedule.
So from what I can understand from what you want to do this
should not be a problem.
Other example:
entry_1 has a schedule that says to check on
Wednesday from 8am until 9am
On Wednesday at 8:15am you put the entry into
maintenance for 1 hour
On Wednesday at 9:15am we remove the maintenance
flag and check the schedule and see that we should not check
it.
...
Do you understand?
Dirk.

I
would of thought using the schedule to indicate when a check becomes active is
exactly what the schedule feature is for, otherwise what was the original idea
of having a schedule for the time when a check is active.
I find
it hard to believe that having the option of putting a check on Maintenance
until the start of the next scheduled check would not be generally useful to a
wider audience than my current configuration.
I have
been recommending your product and your excellent support, and feedback, to some
colleagues who would be only too happy to purchase if you currently provided a
away of providing the facility I have been discussing.
Thanks
for the feedback and consideration of this request, I will see if I can contrive
another way to achieve this sort of functionality.
Andy

Subject: RE: [SA-list] Possible Future Feature Requestsorry but using the schedule seems very unrealistic for a common feature. A
can understand that in your setup this is something usefull, but we have to
try to make the tool as general as possible.

Then how about having a check box, when putting the check into this status, to use either the schedule checking time or if not checked, for a time hh:mm to be manually entered, would this then satisfy both options.Andy-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [SA-list] Possible Future Feature RequestDirk,isn't the "maintenance until next schedule" the same as "maintenance until hh:mm", just using the scheduled time for the check, as specified in the 'checking schedule of entry', as the user specified time, rather than setting another field with this value?Andy-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [SA-list] Possible Future Feature RequestWe can't do a "maintenance until next schedule", is would be to specific for your needs and not generaly usefull. What is a possibily is a "maintenance until hh:mm" were the user can specify until when.Dirk.
