Time Profile - IP Office Assistance

Configuration settings

For a time profile with multiple records, for example a week pattern and some calendar records, the profile is valid when any entry is valid. For Server Edition, this type of configuration record can be saved as a template and new records created from a template.

These settings are mergeable. Changes to these settings do not require a reboot of the system.

For a Server Edition network, these settings can be configured at the network level and are then automatically replicated in the configuration of all systems in the network. They can only be seen and edited at the individual system configuration level if record consolidation is switched off.
