If you wish, you can create a set of schedules for the recording of biometric measurements. Entry sessions can be scheduled at hourly, daily, weekly or monthly intervals or on a one-time basis. Each schedule has start and end dates, and you can suspend schedule entries if needed. The window that is displayed at the scheduled time allows the entry of a single metric. The Biometrics Tracker has a background process that monitors the schedules and invokes an entry session at the appropriate times. Schedules can be suspended either through a checkbox on the function or a button at the bottom of the GUI.
Each type of schedule has a time of day property . For hourly schedules, this specifies the time of day the first of a series of hourly entry sessions will be triggered. For other schedule types, it specifies the single time of day an entry session will be triggered.
Except for One-Time schedules, each type of schedule has an interval property that allows you to schedule entry sessions every other hour, every other day, the third Tuesday of each month, or every three months. If you want a schedule to trigger every hour, day, day of week or day place a 1 in this entry field.
Weekly schedules allow you to specify the days of the week on which an entry sessions will be triggered. Monthly schedules allow you to specify which days of the month an entry session will be triggered.
The scheduling functions are accessed through the Scheduling menu. The functions provided are listed below:
