Each block in the table represents an hour. When a block is yellow, the rule or policy will not fire during that hour, and the rule or policy will not apply to the resources governed by it. When a block is blue, the rule or policy will fire during that hour.

Grid blocks

Click on blocks in the time table to change the blocks from Blue (Fire Rule), to Yellow (Do Not Fire).
