Time Frames

Time Frames allow the user to limit how long an alert is posted on the public side of the Post Alerts tool. Once an alert’s time frame has expired, that posting will be removed from the public side of BusPlanner Web. A default list of time frames will be loaded with BusPlanner Web, but users can customize this list as needed.

Note:

•To create an Always alert which will remain on the BusPlanner Web front page indefinitely, leave the From Time blank and enter in a PM To Time. All messages with the Always Time Frame will remain on the front page until they are removed by a user.

•If an alert is posted with the Post Type "Now", outside of the selected Duration (Time Frame), the subscribers will receive the emails, but the Alerts page will not show the posted alerts. For example, if the PM Time Frame is 13:30 to 19:00, the subscribers will receive emails regarding an immediate alert posted at 19:30, but parents accessing the public Alerts page at the same time will not see the notification there. The Time Frame under Duration will have to be extended to avoid this from happening.

•The Start Time of the Time Frame must be earlier than the End Time.
