Overview
A time period specifies a time range that includes a start time and end time. Time periods also specify a repetition interval either as days of the week or a specified date on the yearly calendar. You define time periods and then associate the time periods with time schedules. A particular time period can be associated with multiple time schedules.
Note
VOSS Automate provides one All the time time period, which is a special, default time period that includes all days and hours, and cannot be deleted.
Configure Time Periods
Log in to the Admin Portal as a Provider, Reseller, or Customer administrator.
Set the hierarchy path to the node where you wish to configure the new time period.
Choose an appropriate option, based on your login:
Choose an appropriate option:
To add a new time period, if the Network Device List popup window appears, choose the NDL for the time period from the drop-down menu. The window appears when you are on a nonsite hierarchy node. If you are at a site hierarchy node, the NDL associated with the site is automatically used.
Note
The Network Device List drop-down menu only appears when a time period is added; it does not appear when you edit a time period.
When adding or editing a time period, add or update a unique name for the time period in the Name field. This field is mandatory. Enter a name in the Time Period Name field. The name can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters. It can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_).
Use concise and descriptive names for your time periods. The hours_or_days format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a time period. For example, office_M_to_F identifies a time period for the business hours of an office from Monday to Friday.
Complete the other fields as appropriate.
