# Creating a Custom (day-of-week/administration time) Schedule

If you selected Other to create a day-of-week/administration time schedule, use the following steps:

a.) Enter the days of the week by clicking the appropriate check boxes in front of each day.

b.) Enter the administration times by selecting the appropriate time, hour and minutes (when you select the minutes, the time will be added to the schedule field).

c.) Repeat step b until you have entered all the times.

Warning: The administration times in the Schedule field apply to each day of the week that is listed, such as TU-TH-SA@0800-2000, for example. To create a schedule such as TU@0800 TH@2000, users would have to enter two separate orders. Also, users may not enter a schedule with administration times and PRN but no days.

d.) If you make a mistake while selecting an administration time, select the time in the Set Administration Time fields and click Remove (so to remove 08:00, you would have to select that time in the Set Administration Time fields not in the Schedule text box.) To remove the entire schedule and begin again with step a, Click Reset.

e.) Review the Schedule field.

f.) When you have the desired schedule, select OK.

g.) When you have created the schedule, close this help window and return to the other instructions to complete the inpatient medication order.
