|
The Internet browsing schedule includes three options:
|
|
|
No Schedule Limits
|
|
|
This option is selected by default and results in no schedule restrictions
|
|
|
|
Maximum Hours Per Day
|
|
|
This option maintains a running tally of the time any of the controlled Internet browsers are open.
Once the allotted time has expired all browsers will be closed and the user will be unable
to open them again
|
|
|
|
According to a Time Slot Schedule
|
|
|
This option is used to set specific times when Internet browsing is permitted. All periods
highlighted in red are times when access will be prevented
This option also allows a maximum duration to be set. With this combination access can be
restricted to a maximum duration per day while restricting what times of the day this allotment can
be used

|
|
1.
|
|
Setting a maximum duration without setting the permitted time slots
|
|
|
|
This occurs when the Allow Internet browsing according to the following schedule is selected and maximum durations are set,
but there are no time slots set to permit access. As a result access will never be permitted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.
|
|
Copying schedules from another policy
|
|
|
|
The Copy Schedule From button is used to copy the browser schedule from another security policy, easing
the task of creating several similar policies
|
|
|
2.
|
|
The user will be warned before the browser schedule expires
|
|
|
|
The warning is first displayed 20 minutes before the schedule expires. Options to view the
schedule and to override the schedule using the Administrator's password are provided at
this time
|
|
|
3.
|
|
Browsers will not automatically close when the schedule expires if the computer is unattended
|
|
|
|
PC Chaperone is designed to prevent programs from automatically closing if their schedule expires
while the computer is unattended in order to prevent the accidental loss of unsaved work. As soon
as the user types or moves the mouse the program shutdown process will begin, giving the user
a short grace period to save any unsaved work
|
|
|
4.
|
|
The browser schedule can be extended using the Administrators Password
|
|
|
|
The schedule extension is in the form of selecting a date/time to extend the schedule until. After this
period has expired, or the user logs off and back on, the normal schedule restrictions will be enforced.
As a result there is no need to reset the override once the desired period has expired
|
|
|
5.
|
|
Unused time allotments are not rolled over to subsequent days
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.
|
|
Different maximum durations can be set for each day of the week by selecting the
"Allow Internet browsing according to the following schedule" option, even if there is
no need to limit the schedule to specific time slots. In this case all time slots
are permitted
