Introduction

The schedules page allows you to specify one or more schedules that control when the rule is active or inactive. The system will check each configured schedule and if it finds at least one matching schedule then the rule will be active, otherwise it will be ignored. Configured schedules can also be disabled, which leaves them in place but they are no longer considered when the rule checks the schedule list.
