Control-V Basic Scheduling parameters specify on what dates the mission is activated. The basic scheduling requirements are then checked. If they are satisfied, the mission is placed in the Active Missions file. However, the mission is not activated until its runtime scheduling and message/event criteria have been satisfied.
Using the Basic Scheduling parameters is optional. The SHOW SCHEDULING CRITERIA field of the Report Decollating Mission Definition entry panel manages the display of Basic and Runtime Scheduling parameters on the Report Decollating Mission Definition screen. It is also possible to control this feature from the Report Decollating Mission Definition screen. Type SCHED (or SC) on the command line and press Enter to alternate between display and non-display of the scheduling parameters.
