Multiple Schedules in Global Event Rules

The At these times section in the Global Event Rules gives the ability to define a Schedule when you want the rule to take effect, but it only allows for a single entry which means you can only define one time window.

In my current use case it doesn’t pose a problem as I need to define “daytime” as Mon-Fri 09:00 to 17:00 as High-Urgency and all other times are “out of hours” Low-Urgency, so I can do the first rule as a Recurring Schedule for those days & times then have the next rule with the same event conditions …meaning it will drop through the scheduled rule if out of those times - I realise I can also achieve the same result using Support Hours on the Service.

But I was thinking that if I needed to define multiple Schedules for a particular rule I am unable to do this without duplicating the rule a number of times. I can’t even combine Global Event Rules and Service Support Hours, as the Service settings take precedence over the Global ones.

Hi Chris,

You are correct. We currently only have one schedule setup in each Global Event Rule. I can understand how this would impact you if you needed to schedule this for different days/times and needed multiple options to do so.

I’ve submitted a Feature Request for this item to our product team.

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
