When the protection scheme event is created and associated switching plan is also created containing the steps required to change the protection scheme settings for the relevant protection devices on the feeder. The switching plan can be viewed from the Event Details via the Actions, Switching menu option.

The steps within the protection scheme switching plan are run in separate groups so that the control can be sent in parallel.

The protection scheme event is configured to be automatically completed when the associated switching plan is complete. When the NMS system is configured to automatically update protection scheme settings, the event will appear briefly in the Work Agenda and then be automatically completed once the final protection scheme is updated.
