ABSTRACT:
A system and method for defining and depicting the operational mode of a process based on temporal factors in a system including a computer that provides for user input through a graphical user interface. A day class template including a time and mode category is displayed on the graphical user interface. The time category depicts a plurality of indicators that are chronologically arranged to represent selected times within a twenty-four hour period. Upon receipt of a definition of an interval of time from a user, the interval of time is displayed on the day class template. Upon receipt of a specification of a mode of operation of the process during the interval of time, a representation of the mode of operation is displayed on the day class template. The process then is operated pursuant to the specified mode of operation during the interval of time. A calendar including day blocks also is displayed on the graphical user interface. The calendar is used to facilitate the scheduling and display of modes of operation of the relevant process over a period of time longer than a day. The calendar is displayed so that calendar days that run a particular schedule of the process as defined by a day class template are distinguished from other days on the calendar. A user can select a day from the calendar and view the day class template including the schedule of mode operation for that day.
