Tom selects different time and day values for each of the three filters.

Tom does not select date filters, but could use this value if he wanted to

create a filter and action for a vacation, an outside service vendor, or

another special situation.

For the DC 1st Shift filter, Tom enables the time range 7:00:00 A.M. to

7:00:00 P.M. and enables the days Monday through Friday.

For the DC 2nd Shift filter, Tom enables the time range 7:00:00 P.M. to

7:00:00 A.M. and enables the days Monday through Friday.

For the Weekend Admin filter, Tom specifies two filters (WA1 and

WA2):

• For WA1, Tom enables the time range 7:00:00 P.M. to 7:00:00 A.M.

and selects the days Friday to Monday.

• For WA2, he enables the time range 7:00:00 A.M. to 7:00:00 P.M. and

selects the days Saturday and Sunday.
