VCT arrival patterns settings

When creating or editing a VCT arrival pattern, define or update data about the arrival pattern.

Setting	Description
Name	Defines the name of the VCT arrival pattern.
Description	Optional: Describes the VCT arrival pattern.
Alignment Date	Specifies the starting day of the week of the arrival pattern. It is recommended that you select a date in history before or coinciding with the oldest import date.
Duration (in Days)	Specifies the number of days for which the VCT arrival pattern applies.
Default frequency of import	Specifies the frequency with which you run the Operations - Data Management adapter. You can set it to a specific number of hours, days, or weeks. Typically, the Operations - Data Management adapter is run at the end of the day. In this case, this parameter is set to one day. If you run the adapter every three hours, set it to three hours.
Daily Pattern	Defines the quarter-hour distribution percentage of the VCT arrival pattern. When you select Save, text fields appear for every 15-minute interval for each day in the arrival pattern. Set a percentage value for any 15-minute interval, which sets the distribution percentage of the arrival pattern.
