11.4 Time of Day Condition

Time of Day conditions test the current time and day. Using a time and day grid, you can select blocks that

correspond to time and day coordinates. Various settings can be used to change time intervals, for instance,

that range from 15 minutes to 24 hours. You may choose to use days or dates, and you may also select

specific weeks or months.

You can, for example, choose a single block that corresponds to a time period starting at 6:00 AM and ending

at 6:15 AM on the first of each month, or you could choose a single block that corresponds to a period that

starts at noon and that ends at midnight on every Sunday of every week.

You can choose contiguous as well as separate time blocks as required. The condition is tested True every

time the current time and date corresponds to a selected time block.

Text Condition properties are as follows:

General tab

Month: Select “All months” if you want the selected time blocks to be valid every month of

the year. Select a specific month if you want the selected time blocks to be valid only on

that month.

Week of month / by date: Select “Date” if you want the selected time blocks to be valid

only on specific dates. Select “All weeks” if you want the selected time blocks to be valid

every week of the month. Select a specific week of the month if you want the selected time

blocks to be valid only on that week (the first, second or last week of the month, for

instance).

Time division: Select the desired time interval. Each block in the grid corresponds to the

selected time interval.

Invert condition result: Select to toggle the result of the condition (true becomes false and

vice versa).
