How to reschedule downtime for a change

Drag the representation

If you want to reschedule the downtime, without increasing or decreasing the duration:

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Click the downtime icon (inside the change representation) in the main pane, and drag it to the new time.

Click Save icon Save.

If you want to increase or decrease the duration of the downtime:

Point to the appropriate end of the downtime icon until the resize handle is displayed.

Drag the downtime icon to its new time.

Click Save icon Save.

Note

As you drag the downtime, a tooltip is displayed with (a) the scheduled start and end times, and (b) the downtime start and end times.
You cannot drag the downtime beyond the scheduled start or end time of the change.
For each scale view (Day, Week, and Month) there is a minimum display size for the change representation. If the change representation is at the minimum, you can reschedule the change by dragging it, but you cannot resize it. You must, instead, use the scheduling dialog.

Edit the scheduling dialog

Click the change representation.

Click the drop-down arrow that is displayed to the right of the change representation. A dialog box with scheduled start and end dates and times is displayed.

Edit the dialog box as appropriate.

Click Save icon Save.
