The Time Profiler section tags connections with time labels from the appliance local clock. Access Profiles Time Schedule matches these tags.

​
Core mechanics

​
Row gate order

  1. Time Profiles prerequisite tags (profile_find).
  2. Weekday range — always enforced (Sunday = 0 … Saturday = 6).
  3. Match mode — ABSOLUTE timestamp window or ALL RANGES (month + day + minutes-from-midnight).
  4. Add/remove time labels.

Time Profiler — match flow

Weekday active flag is stored but not checked — weekday bounds always apply. Set explicit 0–6 or 1–5 ranges; template default 0 alone matches Sunday only.

​
Match modes

  • ABSOLUTE — Single start/end timestamp from configured month, day, hour, minute fields.
  • ALL RANGES — Current month, day-of-month, and time-of-day must each fall in inclusive windows.

​
Examples

Open Configure → Custom Settings → Time Profiler → Time profiles. Row fields are Enabled, Comment, Trace Entry, Month/Day/Weekday/Hour/Minute range, Time match mode, and Added Time profiles.
