Timeslot Structure Template

A timeslot structure template is a template that can be set up to control recording and/or preset intercom announcements automatically within a timeslot.
The actions of the template are set up in relation to the start time of a timeslot, by determining how many minutes and second should a certain action be carried out after the start of the timeslot. 
  1. Access the Activity Scheduler page.
  2. Click the Timeslot Structure Templates link under the Add New Event button.
  3. Click Add New On the Timeslot Structure Templates page.

    Tip

    To edit an existing template, select it from the drop-down menu, modify the structure, and click Save.
  4. By default, the name of the new template is 'Structure' followed by the order of the template.
    (tick) Edit the name of the new structure if needed.
  5. Set up an action by determining how many minutes and/or seconds should the action be carried out after the start time of the timeslot.
    Set up time in the From timeslot start drop-downs.

  6. Then determine the type of action using the Action drop-down menu.

    There are four timeslot structure actions to choose from:

    • Start Video
    • Stop Video
    • Send Audio to Hallway
    • Send Audio to In-room 

    Note

    If a "Send audio..." option is selected, an additional menu appears where you can choose from preset audio announcements. Audio announcements can be recorded in the Intercom tab of the System module.

  7. Repeat steps 5. and 6. until you have set up every desired action.

    Important

    In case a newly added action appears at the top of the structure, the action itself will be carried out according to its time set under From timeslot start.

    Tip

    Any of the actions can be deleted by clicking the Delete button.
  8. Once completed, click Save.

The template will be available when Creating Timeslots.

Warning

Timeslot structure actions are set up in relation to the start time of the timeslot, but their timing cannot exceed the length of the timeslot itself.

The structure of a 10-minute-long timeslot may be set up as follows:

Time of action (hh/mm/ss)Timeslot structure actionAudio Announcement
00:00:05Send Audio to Hallway"Please, enter your room and begin the examination."
00:00:10Start Video 
00:08:30Send Audio to In-Room"You have a minute left to finish."
00:09:30Send Audio to In-Room"Please, leave the examination room."
00:09:59Stop Video

The last action should occur at least one second before the end of the timeslot. If the length of a timeslot structure template is exactly the same as the timeslot's length that it was applied to, the system will warn you about the invalid settings and won't save the actions:
