Time Profiles

Additional configuration information

This section provides the Time Profiles field descriptions.

For additional configuration information, see:

  • Configuring Time Profiles

  • The button action Time Profile

Configuration settings

For a time profile with multiple records, for example a week pattern and some calendar records, the profile is valid when any entry is valid. For Server Edition, this type of configuration record can be saved as a template and new records created from a template.

These settings are mergeable. Changes to these settings do not require a reboot of the system.

For a Server Edition network, these settings can be configured at the network level and are then automatically replicated in the configuration of all systems in the network. They can only be seen and edited at the individual system configuration level if record consolidation is switched off.

Time Entry List

This list shows the current periods during which the time profile is active. Clicking on an existing entry will display the existing settings and allows them to be edited if required. To remove an entry, selecting it and then click on Remove or right-click and select Delete.

Recurrence Pattern (Weekly Time Pattern)

When a new time entry is required, click Add Recurring and then enter the settings for the entry using the fields displayed. Alternately right-click and select Add Recurring Time Entry. This type of entry specific a time period and the days on which it occurs, for example 9:00 – 12:00, Monday to Friday. A time entry cannot span over two days. For example you cannot have a time profile starting at 18:00 and ending 8:00. If this time period is required two Time Entries should be created – one starting at 18:00 and ending 11:59, the other starting at 00:00 and ending 8:00.

  • Start Time The time at which the time period starts.

  • End Time The time at which the time period ends. Note that the endtime is at the end of the minute, for example 11:00 is interpreted as 11:00:59, not 11:00:00.

  • Days of Week The days of the week to which the time period applies.

Recurrence Pattern (Calendar Date)

When a new calendar date entry is required, click Add Date and then enter the settings required. Alternately right-click and select Add Calendar Time Entry. Calendar records can be set for up to the end of the next calendar year.

  • End Time The time at which the time period ends.

  • Year Select either the current year or the next calendar year.
