Firewall Schedule
This section describes how to use schedules to control when policies are active or
inactive. You can create one-time schedules or recurring schedules. One-time
schedules are effective once for the period of time specified in the schedule.
Recurring schedules repeat weekly. Recurring schedules are effective only at
specified times of the day or on specified days of the week.

Viewing the one-time schedule list
If virtual domains are enabled on the FortiGate unit, one-time schedules are
configured separately for each virtual domain. To access one-time schedules,
select a virtual domain from the list on the main menu.
Create a one-time schedule that activates or deactivates a policy for a specified
period of time. For example, a firewall might be configured with a default policy
that allows access to all services on the Internet at all times. Add a one-time
schedule to block access to the Internet during a holiday period.
To view the one-time schedule list, go to Firewall > Schedule > One-time.
