Create or edit a schedule group

Create or edit a schedule group

You can organize multiple schedules into a schedule group to simplify your security policy list. For example, instead of having five identical policies for five different but related schedules, you might combine the five schedules into a single schedule group that is used by a single security policy.

Schedule groups can contain both recurring and one-time schedules. Schedule groups cannot contain other schedule groups.
