Schedule Settings for Restriction

For each restriction, you can set it to be active during: a start and end date, certain days of the week, or certain hours of the day. By applying schedule settings, you can apply different sets of restrictions at different time periods.

This is an advanced feature and should be used only when necessary. All schedule settings are optional. By default, the restriction is active until you specifically turn it off.
