It is not always necessary to have a policy active at all times. There are many scenarios that could be made more secure by turning off a policy when it is not needed. As an example, if you have a policy that allows a vendor or contractor access into an internal system, you may want to turn the policy off after-hours. You may also want to turn off guest network policies after-hours. To do this, you can implement a schedule onto your policies.
Schedules allow you to set the day of the week and time of day that you would like a policy to be active. You can create multiple schedules to suit your needs.
