Schedule Policy

About this task

Define schedule policies to strategically enforce application filter policy rules for specific intervals. This provides stricter, time and schedule based, access or restriction to specific applications and their parent categories. To review existing schedule policies and assess whether new ones require creation or modification:

Procedure

Select Configuration → Network → Schedule Policy.
Select Add to create a new schedule policy time rule, or select an existing policy then Edit to modify the duration of an existing time rule. Schedule policies can be Deleted as they become obsolete. Copy or Rename a schedule policy as needed.
If creating a new schedule policy time rule configuration, enter a 32 character maximum Name relevant to its specific permissions objective.
Provide this schedule policy an 80 character maximum Description to differentiate it from other policies with similar time rule configurations.

Define the following Time Rule settings:


Days	Use the drop-down menu to select a day of the week to apply this schedule policy time rule. Selecting All applies the schedule policy every day (no enforcement rule restrictions). Selecting weekends applies the policy on Saturdays and Sundays only. Selecting weekdays applies the policy on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday only. Selecting individual days of the week applies the policy only on just selected day.
Start Time	Set the start when the schedule policy time rule applies. Use the spinner controls to select the hour and minute, in a 12h time format. Then use the radio button to choose AM or PM.
End Time	Set the ending time when the time rule is no longer enforced. Use the spinner controls to select the hour and minute, in a 12h time format. Then use the radio button to choose AM or PM.

Select OK to save the updates to the schedule policy time rule configuration. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
