The Schedule allows you to specify on a weekly basis when the new rule should be active or inactive. You set different alarm schedules for different rules. You can define when the whole system of event-detection and action-taken should be enforced. In general, a rule (event + action + schedule) can be enforced all day, but typically, you may want a rule to be enforced according to a schedule. For example, perhaps only on weekends, or excluding weekends, or at specific times in the morning and night only. If the rule is disabled the schedule is ignored and Actions for that Rule will not be triggered.
Select or edit an existing Active Schedule or click New Schedule.
1. Give the schedule a descriptive name in the Name field.
2. If a new schedule is being created, select the Active or Inactive option. Using your mouse, click on the date and time interval squares.
3. You can set per minute ranges. Click on a square. Range arrows buttons appear. Click the arrows to increase/decrease times to per minute ranges.
4. To set an exception (for example, holidays) to this weekly schedule:
a. Select a date for this exception and then click Add Exception. Exceptions are displayed below the main calendar per date.
b. Using your mouse, click on the time interval squares to select the exception times.
5. Click Save.
Note: You can re-use Rule elements between rules. For example, if you have two rules, both may use the same Schedule or Action. Do not, for instance, create two schedules that are both 24/7. You can use 2 rules on the same video analytic if the rules are enforced at different times of the day.
