Alarm Time Windows

The SysTrack Agent tracks application usage and user activity 24 hours per day, 7 days per week by default. You can use alarm time windows to disable alarms, alarm actions, and/or alarm notifications during specified time periods. Each half hour slot of each day of the week may have a user-specified combination of alarm enable, alarm notification, and alarm action settings. These time windows can be assigned to Alarms on the Roles page.

SysTrack Configure offers the following preset factory time windows:

  • 12x5 (enables notifications/alarms 12 hours a day on five days a week)
  • 18x6 (enables notifications/alarms 18 hours a day on six days a week)
  • 24x7 (enables notifications/alarms 24 hours a day on 7 days a week)
  • Never Run

NOTE: Preset alarm time windows are not editable. Only custom time windows are editable.

The first number in each numerical selection indicates the number of hours per day the alarms, alarm notifications, and alarm actions are enabled, the second number indicates the number of days per week they are enabled.
