Shows a list of objects that use this schedule.

This is not possible for predefined schedules.

Settings ()

Opens the settings of the schedule.

Schedule Name

Enter a meaningful name for the schedule.

If the name contains angle brackets (<>), PRTG replaces them with braces ({}) for security reasons. For more information, see the Knowledge Base: What security features does PRTG include?

Tags

Enter one or more tags. Confirm each tag with the Spacebar key, a comma, or the Enter key. You can use tags to group objects and use tag-filtered views later on. Tags are not case-sensitive. Tags are automatically inherited.

For performance reasons, it can take some minutes until you can filter for new tags that you added.

For more information, see section Tags.

Selection Method

Select the method that you want to use to define a schedule:

• Use weekday/hour time table: Select specific days of the week or specific hours in which the schedule is active. This means that monitoring objects, notifications, and reports are not paused.
• Use list of period definitions: Enter a list of period definitions in which the schedule is inactive. This means that monitoring objects, notifications, and reports are paused.

Time Table (active time slots)

This setting is only visible if you select Use weekday/hour time table above. Enable or disable check boxes or use buttons to define the schedule. You have the following options:

• Weekday buttons (): Use the weekday buttons Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, and Su to define the days of the week in which the schedule is active. For example, click the Mo button to set the schedule to active for all hours every Monday. This enables all check boxes under the Mo column.
• Hour buttons (): Use the hour buttons 0:00 - 23:00 to define the hours of the day in which the schedule is active. For example, if the 0:00 button is blue, click it to set the schedule to active for the hour 0:00 of all days of the week. If the 0:00 button is white, click it to set the schedule to inactive for the hour 0:00 of all days of the week.
• All off button (): Use the All off button to disable all check boxes, and to deselect all weekday buttons and hour buttons.
• All on button (): Use the All on button to enable all check boxes, and to select all weekday buttons and hour buttons.

For more information, see also Schedules and Time Zones below.

Period List (inactive time slots)

This setting is only visible if you select Use list of period definitions above. Enter the date and time periods in which the schedule is inactive. The periods must have the following format:

ww:hh:mm-ww:hh:mm

Make sure that you enter each period exactly in this format. Otherwise you receive an error message. Go back to the schedule and correct the period in this case. For details and examples, see Period Definition Syntax below.

For more information, see also Schedules and Time Zones below.

User Group Access

Define the user groups that have access to the object. You see a table with user groups and group access rights. The table contains all user groups in your setup. For each user group, you can choose from the following group access rights:

• No access: Users in this user group cannot see or edit the object. The object does not show up in lists.
• Read access: Users in this user group can see the object and view its settings.
• Write access: Users in this user group can see the object and view and edit its settings. However, they cannot edit the object's access rights settings.
• Full access: Users in this user group can see the object, view and edit its settings, and edit its access rights settings.

You can create new user groups in the User Groups settings.

Example

This example shows a schedule that pauses an object during the weekend as well as on Wednesday evenings.

fr:19:30-mo:06:05
we:18:45-we:23:00

Any object that uses this schedule is inactive (paused) from Friday, 7:30 P.M. to Monday, 6:05 A.M. as well as on Wednesday from 6:45 P.M. to 11 P.M. It is active during the other times.
