Use time filters to decide when a task runs. You can create, copy, edit, and delete time filters.

be renamed, copy the time filter and give the copy a new name. Changes made to a
time filter are saved after clicking OK or Apply. If the time filter to be edited is in use by
one or more tasks, a message appears, stating Editing the time filter could
have undesirable effects in the tasks currently using the time
filter. To eliminate this problem, copy the time filter and give the copy a new name.
• Copy. Any user can copy a time filter. The copied time filter name appears with a number
appended to it (to make the name unique). To save changes made to the time filter, click
OK or Apply.

and then click Delete. If the time filter is in use by one or more tasks, a message appears,
