  Copy Schedule Parameters decision table

  Copy Schedule Parameters decision table

  Variable name	Type	Description
  Admin	Text	An internal Service Level user who runs the REST APIs. Do not change. Default = SERVICES-LEVEL3 Note: Because the Service Level user applies the tenant locale during the API calls, the customer tenant locale must match the locale assigned to the user of the copy schedule form.
  Timeframe	Text	Comma-separated list of time frame values. Default = Current Schedule Period,Next Schedule Period,Next Schedule Period + 1,Next Schedule Period + 2 Values must be entered using the same locale as the default tenant locale.
  OverrideExistingScheduledSelectedByDefault	Boolean	Determines the default value of the Override Existing Schedule check box in the Copy Schedule panel. No(default) indicates that schedules in the target period are not overwritten by the source schedule. Yes indicates that schedules in the target period are overwritten by the source schedule.
  CopyShiftLabelsSelectedByDefault	Boolean	Determines the default value of the Copy Shift Labels check box in the Copy Schedule panel. No(default) indicates that shift labels in the source are not copied to the target. Yes indicates that shift labels in the source are copied to the target.
  CopyShiftCommentsSelectedByDefault	Boolean	Determines the default value of the Copy Comments check box in the Copy Schedule panel. No(default) indicates that comments in the source are not copied to the target. Yes indicates that comments in the source are copied to the target.

  Note:

  In this extension, the Service Level user executes the backend REST APIs. Because the Service Level user depends on the customer tenant locale during API calls, the locale of the Timeframe values in the target schedule drop-down list in the user form must match the locale used by the customer tenant.

• CopySchedule_v4.2_Locale— Allows customization of the text in the workflow form and notifications for different locales.

  Copy Schedule Locale decision table

  Copy Schedule Locale decision table

  Variable name	Type	Description
  Key	Text	Placeholders for messages.
  Locale	Text	Locale policy used for customized message.
  Message	Text	Customized message.
  Description	Text	(Optional) Customized description.

  Note:

  • Localization of business process workflows remains optional, but is supported.​
  • You can translate some or all messages by adding lines to the table in their preferred translation for specific locales. Decision tables are scanned from top to bottom; therefore, place messages for the most commonly used Locale Policy at the top of the decision table and less-restrictive locale policies at the bottom.
  • Text within tags ("<>") must not be changed.
  • The decision table holds all messages represented with standard English labels; these apply to all locales when the Locale Policy is set to !=empty.
  • Names of the parameters in the decision table column ​Parameter Name must be used as is. If any parameter value needs to be localized for a different Locale Policy, copy the ​Parameter Name​ with the !=empty ​Locale Policy, add a new row to the decision table with the appropriate Locale Policy, and then add the localized value in the Message column.​
  • Decision tables support operators like "Contains," "Starts with," "Ends with," and "Is Not Empty." You can achieve your preferred results by following these examples:
    • To match any non-empty or any string (like *), use the "Is Not Empty" operator.
    • To match a string starting with "ABC" (like "ABC*"), use the "Starts with" operator and set the value to "ABC".
    • To match a string containing "English" as substring, use the "Contains" operator with the value "English".
  • The last row in the decision table must remain empty ("!=empty".)
