## Guidelines for Entering Time Values for Service Schedules

When you enter time schedules, you can use the values in the following list. See Setting the Time Schedule (SRC CLI) for a description of the options.

| Note: Dates in the to statements apply only to services that have an authorization plug-in configured. If an authorization plug-in is not configured for the service associated with the schedule, the entries in the to statements are ignored.

- *—Asterisks are interpreted as follows:
  - Minutes and hours:
    - 0 if used in the from or to statements of a scheduled event
    - First or last if used in the statements of a schedule exclusion
  - Time zones—Local SAE time zone
  - All other options—First through last
  - For options in the to statements, * for the end time is equivalent to “ deny service activation after this start date.”
  - For dates in the from statements, * is equivalent to “ deny service activation before this end date.”
- Range of numbers separated by a hyphen. The range is inclusive; for example, 1-5 for the hour specifies hours 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- List of numbers or ranges separated by commas. For example, 1,2,5,9 or 0-4,8-12.
- Skip values in ranges:
  - To skip a number’s value through the range, follow a range with /<number>. For example, 0-23/2 used in the hour option 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.
