Specifying Time Windows
To specify a time window, specify two time values separated by a hyphen (-), with no
space in between.
time_window = time1-time2
Time 1 is the start of the window and time 2 is the end of the window. Both time values
must use the same syntax. There are 3 different ways to specify a time window:
◆ hour-hour
◆ hour:minute-hour:minute
◆ day:hour:minute-day:hour:minute
Examples of time windows
Daily window
To specify a daily window omit the day field from the time window. Use either the
hour-hour or hour:minute-hour:minute format. For example, to specify a daily
8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m window:
8:30-18:30
Overnight window
To specify an overnight window make time1 greater than time2. For example, to
specify 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. the following day:
18:30-8:30
Weekend window
To specify a weekend window use the day field. For example, to specify Friday at 6:30
p.m to Monday at 8:30 a.m.:
5:18:30-1:8:30
