Setting the Time Schedule with the C-Web Interface
Before you configure the time schedule, create the schedule. See Adding a Service Schedule for Scopes with the C-Web Interface.
When you set up a time schedule for an event, you specify:
- For event schedules—Time at which an action is to occur; the from date and time information
- For schedules for services that have authorization configured—Beginning and end of the interval; the to date and time information
- For exclusions—Times to be excluded from that schedule
To configure the time schedule:
- Click Configure, and navigate to the specified service schedule.
- From the Create new list, select Except (to set an exclusion).
- In the dialog box, type a name for the new Except. The specified name is not stored as an identifier, so the arbitrary value can be as simple as a number.
- Click From in the side pane.
The From pane reappears. This pane allows you to specify the effective period in which to schedule the event. This period is the interval after the associated from or to time during which the scheduled action can be initiated by a subscriber who is logging in to a subscriber session.
- Enter the information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply. Use the guidelines in Guidelines for Entering Time Values.
- Click To in the side pane.
The To pane reappears. This pane allows you to specify the effective period in which to schedule the event. This period is the interval after the associated from or to time during which the scheduled action can be initiated by a subscriber who is logging in to a subscriber session.
- Enter the information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply. Use the guidelines in Guidelines for Entering Time Values.
Guidelines for Entering Time Values
When you enter time schedules, you can use the values in the following list. See Setting the Time Schedule with the C-Web Interface for a description of the options.
NOTE: Dates in the to statements apply only to services that have an authorization plug-in configured. If an authorization plug-in is not configured for the service associated with the schedule, the events in the to statements are ignored. For more information, see Authorizing Scheduled Services with the C-Web Interface.
- 0 if used in the
from
orto
statements of a scheduled event- First or last if used in the statements of a schedule exclusion
- Time zones—Local SAE time zone
- All other options—First through last
- For options in the
to
statements, * for the end time is equivalent to "deny service activation after this start date."- For dates in the
from
statements, * is equivalent to "deny service activation before this end date."
- Range of numbers separated by a hyphen. The range is inclusive; for example, 1-5 for the hour specifies hours 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- List of numbers or ranges separated by commas. For example, 1,2,5,9 or 0-4,8-12.
- Skip values in ranges:
- To skip a number's value through the range, follow a range with /<number>. For example, 0-23/2 used in the
hour
option specifies that the event occurs every other hour.- Skip values with *. If you want to specify every two hours, use */2.
NOTE: If you set both a day of the month and a day of the week, the day of the month is used.

To configure the actions for the service schedule:
The Event: <name> pane appears.
- Select Action.
- In the dialog box, type a name for the new Action, and click OK. The specified name is not stored as an identifier, so the arbitrary value can be as simple as a number.
