Create New Event
Navigate to the Schedules module in the left navigation pane
Click + New Event
Enter a name for the event.
Select a start and end time for the event.
NOTE: Events with no start or end date and will appear in Unscheduled events.
Designate as an Event or Milestone.
NOTE: An event can not be designated as a Milestone event if it has an end date.
The duration will automatically populate based on the start and end time, or select a start time and enter a duration to automatically populate the end time.
Link one or all sections of a procedure to be run for the event.
Set any parent dependencies (See Add Dependencies)
NOTE: Child Dependencies can not be set. The Parent Dependencies must be added to the Child event.
Add Resources / Participants for the event using the drop down menu.
If it is a recurring event, set the schedule in the Repeats section.
(See Repeat Events)
Select a Swimlane to organize the event into.
If you do not see the Swimlane you would like, type a new Swimlane name and hit enter.
If you do not select a Swimlane, your event will be grouped in the “Other” swimlane.
All new events will start with a status of Planning. If there is a linked procedure, the status will update to Running/Paused/Success/Abort/Failure/Completed to reflect the status of the procedure. That status can be updated manually by editing the event up until the linked procedure is Run.
Enter a description for the event. (Optional)
Add any notes. Markdown Supported
When ready click Save Event.
Note: Name, Start, and End are the only required fields. All other fields are optional.
Resource Conflicts
When resources are added to overlapping events, a Resource Conflict warning will be displayed upon saving.
You have the option to continue to Save with Conflicts or to Resolve, which will bring you back to the Event window to edit.
Relative Events
Next to the start date there is a drop down menu to select At (designating a specific start date and time) or After.
Selecting After will allow you to set the start of the event in minutes relative to the completion of a predecessor event.
Adjustments to the timing of the predecessor event will automatically adjust the successor event.
The end time for the successor event will be determined by the duration entered.
Instantaneous and Milestone events can be set as predecessor events, providing flexibility to how you schedule operations.
Activity Log
Creating and editing events will now be tracked in an Activity log at the bottom of the Event Details screen.
Import Events
Events can be imported into Epsilon3 using a .CSV file by clicking the Import Events button in the top left corner.
Time values should be represented in Zulu Time (UTC) using the ISO-8601 standard.
Use the format in the modal for the .CSV import.
NOTE: Most standard calendars will export in this format
