Using the time scheduling functionality, the administrator has the privilege to skip the execution of specified actions for a specific time in the Alert Policy. Skip Time and Skip Time Enabled are the property fields that are added to Alert Policy and Action Lists.
To Set the Skip Time
In the navigation pane, expand the Alert Policies node until you can view the item you wish to edit.
In the display pane, click the alert policy that you want to set the skip time.
In the Details pane, click Skip Time.
The Skip Time Editor dialog box appears.
Enter the appropriate values for Start Time and End Time in AM/PM format.
Click OK.
Notes:
If the Start Time and End Time values are same, an error message "Invalid time. Start and end skip time are equal." is displayed.
If the Start Time and End Time values are empty or if inappropriate values are entered, the error message "Invalid time. Either the value entered is blank or not present in the drop down list." is displayed.
To Enable the Skip Time
After setting the Skip Time values for the Alert Policy, click Skip Time Enabled in the Details pane.
The default value is False. The Alert Policy runs 24/7 when the value is False.
To enable the Skip Time, change the value to True.
Note: If you change the Skip Time Enabled value to True when the Skip Time value is empty, an error message "The value can't be changed. Please add skip time and then change the value." is displayed.
