Set start and stop time to 00 for the schedule to be active for the entire day. Onetime
schedules use a 24-hour clock.
Viewing the recurring schedule list
If virtual domains are enabled on the FortiGate unit, recurring schedules are
created separately for each virtual domain. To access recurring schedules, select
a virtual domain from the list on the main menu.
Create a recurring schedule that activates or deactivates policies at specified
times of the day or on specified days of the week. For example, prevent game
play during working hours by creating a recurring schedule.
Note: A recurring schedule with a stop time that occurs before the start time starts at the
start time and finishes at the stop time on the next day. Use this technique to create
recurring schedules that run from one day to the next. Create a recurring schedule that
runs for 24 hours by setting the start and stop times to the same time.
To view the recurring schedule list, go to Firewall > Schedule > Recurring.
