Basic Settings

Schedule Name

Enter a meaningful name for the schedule that describes the defined time span(s) or purpose.

Time Table

Define the schedule. It will be used for monitoring objects, reporting, and notifications. You can set time spans with a precision of one hour by setting check marks. If a box is checked, it means the object is active during this hour, if unchecked, the object will be paused during this hour. You can set check marks individually, or change complete ranges for certain days of the week or time spans.

To add ranges of check marks, use the buttons All, Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, and Su, as well as the time buttons on the left side.
To remove ranges of check marks, use the buttons All Off, Mo Off, Tu Off, We Off, Th Off, Fr Off, Sa Off, and Su Off, as well as the time Off buttons on the right side.
