Break System Properties

Break properties define how user breaks are assigned and scheduled.

To update system properties, click Tools > System Properties and click the Profile tab.

Table 1. Break System Properties
Property Description
PASS Scheduling > Breaks > Autobreaks > Lock Autobreaks Removes Rule Specifies whether to remove the autobreak rule from the daily run if the Lock Autobreaks switch is enabled (in the Schedule Server application, click View > Switches, then in the Switches tab, expand PASS > SchedSrv > Autobreaks > Lock Autobreaks).
PASS Scheduling > Breaks > Autobreaks > Locked Break Type Type of break (in the list of user-defined user breaks) that the Lock Autobreak process inserts into runs.

To do this, type the code for the break type corresponding to the codes shown in the Insert Break dialog box.

The original break type is used as the default for this property, and also if an invalid selection is made.

This property is not used for an autobreak rule if the Primary Break Type is set for the autobreak rule in Auto Driver Break Rules.

PASS Scheduling > Breaks > Default Break Length Default break length if a break length is not specified in the Schedule Editor.

If no break length is specified here either, the break length defaults to 15 minutes.

Break lengths specified in the User Breaks properties override the default specified here.

PASS Scheduling > Breaks > User Breaks (User Break 0 to User Break 39) Specifies a list of forty user-definable breaks (0 through 39).

Select a break to see the break code associated with it.

For example, if you select User Break 0, the code shown on the left frame is B0. The break code is shown in the Schedule Editor.

To specify break lengths, type a comma followed by a value from 1 to 999 (which represents the default number of minutes) after the break name.

The length specified here overrides the Default Break Length property.
