Schedules
Use schedules to control when policies are active or inactive. You can create one-time
schedules and recurring schedules.
You can use one-time schedules to create policies that are effective once for the
period of time specified in the schedule. Recurring schedules repeat weekly. You can
use recurring schedules to create policies that are effective only at specified times of
the day or on specified days of the week.
