# Schedule Rule

The Schedule Rule screen gives you control over the time frames during which access control filters are used. For example, you can set up a schedule rule timeframe that runs from 12:00 A.M. on Saturday through 12:00 A.M. on Monday and your access control will be effective only during weekend hours; at all other times, access control will be off.

To add a schedule rule:

1. Click Add Schedule Rule.
2. Enter a Name for the rule and the Active Time Period.
   The time period should be entered using the 24-hour clock. For example, to specify 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the start time is 09:00 and the end time is 17:00.

3. Click OK.
4. Click SAVE SETTINGS in the Schedule Rule screen to save your settings.
