Schedule blocks

NAVIGATION  Network Monitor > Schedules > User notification schedules > Click <name of schedule>

User work schedules are specified using blocks and rules.

  • Blocks - A user work schedule is divided into one or more blocks. A block represents a shorter period of time within the schedule. Add blocks to create a sequence of blocks. You can move the blocks up and down in the sequence. The sequence of blocks is continuously repeated as a rolling schedule from the active start date to the active end date of the schedule.
  • Rules - Users selected for a rule are "active" during the days and hours specified by a rule. They can receive notifications during these active time periods. You can specify one or more rules for each block. Rules can overlap each other and specify different users.

Example

  1. Create a user work schedule for one month.
  2. Create 1 block with a length of 7 days.
  3. Create two rules for this single block: a weekday block and a weekend block. Set days, hours and users as appropriate for each rule.
