✓This Alert Signal is usually indicating that it is time for that Operator to perform a specific task

▪The End Time and Date must be entered to reflect when this Other Settings (see 'Others' settings below) signal is expected.

oIf the selected Day for this Other Event is not Today, these Dates must be changed to reflect that Day.

oIf required (and the Dates have not been changed), a Reminder message will be displayed.

oUse the Drop-Down Calendar/Date Entry field to Choose those different Dates.
