section.
Specify a start time for steps 2 and 3 of the policy. By default, step 2 is set to begin 1
hour after the first notification occurs, and step 3 is set to begin 2 hours after the first
notification.
You can choose to repeat step 3 of the policy at a regular interval until the notification
is stopped. By default, the policy is set to repeat step 3 every hour until the
notification is stopped.
