Create a simple activation timer for a menu #

To create an activation/deactivation timer for a menu:

1. Go to the My Menus section.
2. On the Completed Menus table find the menu you want to activate/deactivate on a schedule.
3. Determine the menu’s active state – an active menu will have the checkbox checked. An inactive menu will have an unchecked checkbox.
4. To create a timer for menu activation make sure the menu is inactive (checkbox unchecked).
5. Click the clock icon next to the menu – a popup dialog will appear.
6. Select the clock icon in the popup and a calendar will appear.
7. Choose a date an time from the calendar.
8. Click ‘Go’ in the popup.

The timer is now set. The clock next to the menu will change to solid.

The timer will now fire at the date/time set and the menu will activate.

It is possible to set timers on a recurring schedule so menus appear on selected days. Menus will be activated just after midnight on the specified day and deactivate just before midnight on the same day.

1. Go to the My Menus section.
2. On the Completed Menus table find the menu you want to activate/deactivate on a schedule. A popup dialog will appear.
3. Click the recycle symbol in the top-left corner of the dialog. A calendar will appear.
4. Select all days on which you want the menu to be active. These will highlight.
5. Click go.
6. Close the dialog.

The recurring timer is now set a recycle icon will appear next to the filled clock icon.

Cancel a recurring schedule timer #

The process for cancelling a recurring schedule timer is the same as for cancelling a simple timer above.
