This panel enables you to provide the basic definitions of the time window.
The panel contains the following fields and controls:
| Unique identifying name for the time window. |
| Optional descriptive text. |
| Scheduling details for when the time window occurs: | One-time scheduling of the time window. The On date field contains the date for the one-time schedule, in yyyy/mm/dd format. The At field contains the schedule time, in 24-hour clock format (00:00 to 23:59). | | Recurring daily schedule, for the time window to occur at a set time once a day. The time goes in the At field, in 24-hour clock format (00:00 to 23:59). | | Recurring schedule based on days of the week. Enter a weekly interval in the Every field (for example, enter 3 if the time window should occur every three weeks), and the start time of the window in the At field. For On the following days, select the days of the week when the time window should occur. You can select multiple days. | | Recurring schedule based on a day of the month. Enter the day of the month and the time of day for the time window to occur. |
|
| The time zone in which the time window should occur. For a recurring schedule, TrueSight Server Automation automatically accounts for differences in time zones and changes in daylight savings time. For example, if you schedule a time window that should occur weekly at 06:00 Eastern Standard Time, the window always occurs at 06:00 Eastern Time, no matter whether standard or daylight savings time is in effect. Note All component machines in a TrueSight Server Automation system should have their clocks synchronized. |
| The period of time covered by the defined time window, beginning at the time specified in the At field (in the Occurrence definitions). Define the duration by specifying any combination of days, hours, and minutes. |

When creating a new time window, these two panels (Targets and Permissions) appear as separate panels in a wizard. If you are editing an existing time window, they appear as sub-tabs on the current panel.
