Creating and maintaining blackout periods

Administrators can establish blackout periods to specify times when events cannot be scheduled, for example, due to a public holiday or when regular system maintenance is scheduled. The Event Manager takes blackout periods into account when you schedule and queue events, event subscriptions, and undercover agents (UCAs).

To manage blackout periods, go to the side menu of the Workflow Admin console, and click Event Manager then Blackout Periods.

Creating a blackout period

  1. Set a Date/Time Range or a Weekday/Time Range. For example, for a holiday, set a Date/Time Range for a specific date in the future. For weekly system maintenance, you can set a Weekday/Time Range.

  2. Click the Add button. The new blackout period is added to the Blackout Periods list.

Updating a blackout period

  1. Select the blackout period that you want to update from the list.

  2. Change the details of the period as required.

  3. Click the Update button.

Deleting a blackout period
