Specifying Values for Times

When you create or change schedules, you can use the values in the following list to make entries in the from and to sections in the Schedules page. See Setting Times for a description of each entry field under the Schedule area of the page.

• Asterisks (*) are interpreted differently depending on the field in which you enter one as a value. The following list describes how the SRC software interprets an * as a value for the various fields:
  • Minutes and hours—0 (zero)
  • Time zones—Local SAE time zone
  • All other fields—First through last
  • For fields in the To section of the schedule area, * for the end time is equivalent to “ deny service activation after this start date.”
  • For dates in the From section of the schedule area, * is equivalent to “ deny service activation anytime before this end date.”
• Range of numbers or letters separated by a hyphen—The range is inclusive; for example, 1-5 for the hour specifies hours 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. A range of mon-wed specifies Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
• List of numbers, letters, or ranges separated by commas—For example, 1,2,5,9 or 0-4,8-12 or mon-wed,fri-sat.
• Skip values in ranges.
  • Skip a number’s value through the range, follow a range with /<number>. For example, 0-23/2 used in the hours field specifies that the event occurs every other hour.
  • Skip values with *. If you want to specify every two hours, use */2.

    Note: If you set both a day of the month and a day of the week, the day of the month is used.
