An example schedule entry

To illustrate the process of creating a schedule and using it in a rule, we will create a schedule for lunchtime (Noon – 1 P.M.) and create a rule using this schedule. This will allow us to implement a rule which allows access to Recode only during Noon to 1 P.M. on weekdays. To do this, we perform the following steps:

  1. On the calendar, select Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu
