What can I do here?
Use this window to create or edit a time object for use in rules based on a time limitation.

Getting Here - Object Explorer > New > Time > Time |
A time object is used to represent a specific time frame. If you want a certain process to take place at a specific time, you can create a time object for the time at which the process should take place. The process will begin at the time specified by the time object.
A rule using a time object applies only to connections that begin during the time object's time frame. If the connection extends past that time frame, it is allowed to continue. The relevant time zone is that of the Security Gateway enforcing the rule.
Note - Security Gateways located in different time zones enforce the same object rules at different times. The lack of synchronization can cause problems. For example: one gateway may encrypt connections before the other is ready to decrypt them.
If you do not include a Time object in a rule, the rule is always active.
Multiple Time Objects
You can include multiple Time objects in a rule in these ways:
When you have multiple Time objects or a Time Group, each Time object works independently. For example, if a rule has two Time objects:
The rule is active each day from 9:00 - 17:00 and all day on Mondays. For the rule to be active from 9:00 - 17:00 on Mondays only, make one Time object that contains all of the criteria.
Note - The Time period setting is not supported for UTM-1 Edge appliances and QoS. Attempting to install a policy that contains a rule with a defined time object and time period in QoS or on a UTM-1 Edge will result in failure.
