To change mode by command:
1. From the Control menu, select Modes, then click the Change Mode tab.
2. Select one or more facilities that you want to change to the new operating mode.
3. Select the operating mode to which you want to change.
4. Select Yes or No on the field titled Permit Scheduled Mode Changes to indicate whether you
want the system to allow future mode changes to occur as scheduled. You can change this
option even if you do not change the mode itself.
• Yes allows scheduled mode changes to occur.
• No allows you to override scheduled mode changes in an emergency.
Example: If you change to an alternate mode on the day before a scheduled holiday and
you permit scheduled mode changes to occur, the system switches to holiday mode as
scheduled. If you do not permit scheduled changes to occur, the system stays in the
alternate mode until you use the Mode Command form to change the mode again.
5. Select an e-mail method under Email.
6. Click Change Mode to tell the system to change to the selected mode and/or to allow or
disallow scheduled mode changes. A message window displays: Mode Change Successful.
