Time Periods

Full HTML Help

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

  1. Log in to the Admin Portal as a Provider, Reseller, or Customer administrator.

  2. Set the hierarchy path to the node where you wish to configure the new time period.

  3. Choose an appropriate option, based on your login:

  4. Choose an appropriate option:

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Complete the other fields as appropriate.
