Activity/Content Sharing Rules
By default, behavior rules are active 24 hours a day. You can limit a rule to specific times of the day by following the steps below:
1. Go to Configurations > Behavior Policies and click New Rule, or or click the name of an existing rule to edit it:
2. In the General Settings step, scroll down to the Time when rule is active section.
3. Drag the two handles on the slider to set the start and end time of the period, for example 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The time changes in 5-minute steps.
4. To add another period, click the + (Add period) icon and set it the same way, for example 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This keeps the rule inactive during a lunch break or off-hours. To remove a period, click the - icon.
5. Click Continue to complete the remaining steps, then click Submit Rule.
Notes
Keep the following in mind when scheduling a rule:
Time Zone: The periods follow the Teramind server time zone, not the employee's local time.
Days of the Week: The periods apply to every day. You can't select specific days.
Monitoring Schedule: Rules are only evaluated while the employee is being monitored. If the employee's monitoring settings turn off monitoring at certain times, the rule won't trigger during those times, even if they fall within Time when rule is active. In other words, the rule schedule can narrow the monitoring time, but it can't extend it.
Schedule Rules: These periods don't apply to rules with the Schedule rule type. See the section below.
Schedule Rules
Time when rule is active controls when a rule runs. If you instead want to be notified when an employee doesn't follow their work schedule, for example when they arrive late or are absent, create a rule with the Schedule rule type. Here's how you can do so:
1. In the General Settings step of the Rule Editor, enter the rule name (for example, Late Arrival Alert), select the Parent Policy, and select Schedule under Rule Type.
2. Click Continue, select the employees in the Employees step, then click Continue again to open the Schedule step.
3. Click New condition.
4. Under Select type of schedule violation, choose the violation and enter a value, for example Arrives late by 15 min. Available violation types include Daily Work Time, Scheduled Work Time, Starts early, Ends early, Ends late, Arrives late, Is absent, Is late, Works on Day-off, Login and Idle. You can add more conditions with New condition. The rule triggers when any of them is met.
5. Click Continue. In the Actions step, turn on Notify and set up the alert, then click Submit Rule.
Notes
The Time when rule is active setting in General Settings doesn't apply to Schedule rules. To limit a Login or Idle condition to certain times, use the time slider inside that condition instead. For Login, you can also select Apply rule on these days to limit it to specific days of the week.
