Custom Schedules

You can configure a time schedule (hour and day of week) for running a test or action/notification, and assign this schedule to a test or action/notification. Tests, actions and notifications are limited to the times you enable. By default, the schedule is 24x7 (all the time). These schedules are stored in your local timezone specified in Administration > Preferences.
