Scheduling operational and non-operational hours
WebBlocker provides two separately configurable time blocks–
operational hours and non-operational hours. Typically, operational
hours are an organization’s normal hours of operation and non-
operational hours are when an organization is not conducting its normal
business. Use these time blocks to build rules about when different types
of sites are to be blocked. For example, you might block sports sites
during business hours, but allow access at lunch time, evenings, and
weekends.
From the proxy’s dialog box:
1 Click the WB: Schedule tab.
The tab appears, as shown in the following figure.
2 Click hour blocks to toggle from Operational to Non-operational.

The operational and non-operational hours schedule is dependent on the
time zone settings. WebBlocker defaults to GMT unless you have set a
Firebox time zone. For information on setting the Firebox time zone, see
“Setting the Time Zone” on page 49.
