UMS Operating Times

The UMS operating times screen displays the daily on and off times for each GIS control code currently in the MTS system.

Important!  The UMS module must be installed for this screen to appear. Only user personas with roles that include the "View Operating Times" grant can view this screen.

The table can be sorted by any column by clicking the desired column header. By default, the table is sorted by Code (primary sort) and Calendar date (secondary sort). The table consists of the following columns:

  • Code. The code of the GIS control type specified by an MTS user.
  • Calendar date. The date within the searched calendar dates. On this day, devices of this control type are turned on and off at the times displayed.
  • On time. The time of day that the device is switched on.
  • Off time. The time of day that the device is switched off.
  • Updated date. The date and time the operating time was inserted or modified, displayed in local date/time format.
  • Updated by. The MTS user who inserted or modified the operating time.

Tip:  To filter the table, click the filter icon () to open a dialog box, where you can select any of the available known values listed by control Codes. You can also filter by Calendar dates by selecting a From date and a To date. The date range is reflected in the On time and Off time columns in the table.

To add a UMS operating time, use the following procedure.

Note:  The option to add operating times is available only to user personas with roles that include the "Create and Manage Operating Times" grant.

  1. Click the Add icon () at the bottom of the screen.
  2. In the dialog box that appears, complete the following fields:
    • Control code. From the drop-down menu, select an existing GIS code (includes the mapped UMS control type).
    • Calendar date. Select a date from the date picker.
    • On time. Select a time of day from the time picker.
    • Off time. Select a time of day from the time picker. This value must be after the On time.
  3. Click Add. The new operating time appears in the UMS operating times table and automatically includes an Updated date value and an Updated by value.

To import UMS operating times in bulk, click the Action icon () and select Import. From here, you can select a local CSV file containing control codes, dates, on times and off times for an entire year. The file must be in the following format:

Header row
<control_code>, <calendar_date>, <on_time>, <off_time>
<control_code>, <calendar_date>, <on_time>, <off_time>
<control_code>, <calendar_date>, <on_time>, <off_time>
<control_code>, <calendar_date>, <on_time>, <off_time>

The file may have up to 1,000 rows. All fields, including the header row, are mandatory and must contain values in the following formats:

  • control_code = An existing GIS control code.
  • calendar_date = DD/MM/YYYY date format.
  • on_time = Four integers represent a 24-hour clock. The first two digits must be less than 24, and the lasts two digits must be less than 60). For example, 1200 is noon. May also be OFF.
  • off_time = Four integers represent a 24-hour clock. The first two digits must be less than 24, and the lasts two digits must be less than 60). For example, 1200 is noon. May also be OFF.

This file will be validated and, if successful, the entries will appear in the UMS operating times table.
