About Rounds Pro Schedule

Rounds Pro Schedules are schedule objects that are maintained in the Rounds Pro Schedule Family. These schedules once created can be linked to Measurement Steps.

Advantages of using a schedule:
  • You can organize your schedules and later associate them with Measurement Steps.
  • You can use the same schedule in multiple steps. All these steps will then follow the same schedule. You can thus track all these steps easily.
  • If you update a schedule, the changes are applied to all the steps that use the schedule.
