Operation Schedules

Operation schedules define the sequence of management operations for a land use type. They work together with decision tables to control when and how operations are executed.

Reviewing Operation Schedules

Navigate to the Management section and select the Land Management tab to view operation schedules.

1. Select a land use from the 'Selected Land Use' dropdown
2. The 'Management Schedule in Use' dropdown shows the current operation schedule
3. View the operations and attached decision tables in the main panel

The schedule displays operation properties including: - op_typ: Operation type - mon, day: Timing (month and day) - hu_sch: Heat unit schedule - op_data1, op_data2, op_data3: Operation-specific data

Modifying Operations in Operation Schedules

Adding Operations

Click '+ Operation' to add a new operation to the schedule. Configure the operation type and timing parameters.

Changing Management Schedules

Use the '+' button next to the Management Schedule dropdown to create a new schedule, or use the tools icon to modify the current one.

Attaching & Removing Decision Tables

Decision tables can be attached to a management schedule along with operation schedule to add conditional logic:

Attaching a Decision Table

1. Click the 'Selection: A Decision Table to Attach' dropdown
2. Select from available decision tables (e.g., pl_hv_summer1, irr_opt_sw_unlim, control_drainage or any that you have recently created)
3. Click '+' to attach the selected table

Removing a Decision Table

Click the 'X' next to an attached decision table to remove it from the schedule.

Viewing Attached Tables

Click on an attached decision table to expand it and view its conditions and actions. This allows you to understand when operations will be triggered.

Purging Operation Schedules

Operation schedules that are no longer assigned to any HRUs can be removed to keep your project organized. Check the usage count - if it shows 0, the schedule may be a candidate for removal.
