Specification panel in the Price schedule window

The Specification panel contains a list of intervals during which the price schedule will apply (start and end times) along with the menu items whose sale prices change in those intervals.

The Price schedule specification can also contain draft menu items.

The data grid columns correspond to intervals. Each interval is assigned to an individual column. Menu items are displayed in a separate column. The rows of specification items correspond to menu items.

If a menu item is taken from a draft menu and added to the specification, the name of the corresponding draft appears in the Draft column.
