Time periods are an Object type that can be used to manage and fine-tune your Linewize Filter and Classroom Manager configurations. Time Periods allow you to limit the time of day and specific days that Linewize Filter filtering and/or Classroom Manager functions are active.
A specific Time Periods object can be used to configure:

You must have access to Configuration in Linewize Filter.
Configuring Time Periods
Follow a few rules when adding a new time period. These include:
Start time must be earlier than the End time, and entered in HH:MM format 08:30 to 22:00.
One full day is: 00:00 to 23:59. Starting at 00:01 excludes the first minute of the day.
Create two separate entries in the Time Period to loop around to another day: 21:00 to 23:59 and 00:00 to 05:00.
