Working with Time Groups

Time Groups

Time groups are user-defined sets of time and day of the week parameters that you can use as filter criteria when working with real time auditing rules, as well as for queries, reports and the history log. Time group filters can be either:

• Inclusive – Including activities that occur only during the time group periods

• Exclusive – Excluding all activities that occur during the time group periods.

To define a time group:

1. Select 31. Time Groups in the Audit Main menu (STRAUD > 31). The Define Time Groups screen appears.
