Via the Schedule page you will be able to create, edit and delete any scheduled captures. You also have the ability to import a calendar from a file or URL. 


  •     NOTE:     Make sure the Time in the lower-right hand corner is correct. If not, the timing of all future captures will be off schedule. If the clock needs to be changed, please change your timezone on the system side (Operating System). Once the timezone has been changed it should reflect the correct time in the CaptureCast UI.

Scheduling a Capture

  •     NOTE:     Scheduling via CaptureCast Calendar WILL BE DISABLED if you enabled External Scheduling (Settings-->External Scheduling). You can only schedule using one or the other but not both. This avoids any conflicts or confusion.

EDITING CAPTURE DATE WITH DRAG & DROP

An easy way of changing the date of a scheduled capture on the calendar is by drag and drop. All you need to do is click and hold on a capture event on the calendar, and then drag the event to a different day on the calendar, and release the mouse button.

  • NOTES: 
    • This will only change the day of the calendar event. Time and Duration will not be changed at all.
    • If you try to move a scheduled capture to another day with a conflicting capture at that time, the transfer will not occur. You will need to delete the conflicting event before.
