Schedule Parameter
The Schedule parameter enables users to specify a series of date and time ranges for parameter groups.
For example, the Schedule parameter can specify opening and closing hours for each Tenant.
To create a Schedule parameter:
- In the header, go to Operations > Operational Parameters > Parameters.
- On the Parameter List panel, click the New button.
- On the New panel that is displayed to the right of the Parameter List panel,
define the properties of the new parameter.

or you can select Day of Week, to select a day of the week.
If you select Date:
- You must select the Year, Month, Day, and Time Zone (optional) to apply the Schedule parameter.
If you do not select a Time Zone, the system's local time zone will be used.
