The schedule answers a single question: **who gets paged right now?** ## Creating one Pick the team this schedule covers. A schedule belongs to one team. Use the timezone the team actually lives in — for example `America/Sao_Paulo`. Every handoff calculation uses it, including across daylight saving changes. * **24x7** — the same person covers around the clock until the handoff. Best way to start. * **Weekly** — responsibility moves to the next participant on a fixed weekday and time. Order matters: it defines both the rotation sequence and the escalation order when nobody acknowledges an incident. The date and time from which the schedule applies. It is the anchor for every following handoff. For your first test, use **24x7** with yourself as the only participant. That way you are on call now and get the alert immediately. ## After creating it * Check under **On-call** who aciona.me considers to be on call right now. * Create overrides for vacations, days off and one-off swaps. * Keep the schedule **active** — inactive schedules resolve nobody.
