Activity Period

Defines the area in the Scheduling tab of the Properties pane that describes Active/Not Active between dates, Start Date, End Date, and Statistics Calendar.

Active/Not Active between dates

Determines a date range (Start Date - End Date) when the job or folder can be ordered or the Rule-based Calendar (RBC) can be used. During the period that the job or folder is outside the active range (non active), it is not eligible to be ordered, if the relationship between Job Scheduling definitions and Rule Based Calendars is set to AND (Default: OR).

If the relationship is set to OR, the job is eligible to be ordered depending on the RBC criteria.

EXAMPLE: Limit the dates that the job can be schedules to: August 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th.

Keep the folder for a minimum number of days after ended not ok
