Configure a Rule Set with Time Range

To set an expiry date in a policy, configure the rule to be effective only within a specific time range. When you define a time range for any criteria, your configured policy will operate as a temporary policy during that period.

1. Go to Policy > Web Policy > New Ruleset. Click Custom ruleset.

2. Click three dots and select Via Rule Builder.

3. You can configure any rule. Here, for example, enter the Name, select the URL under Criteria, and click Add.

4. Select, for example, Operator as is in, then click Select Value. A URL window will appear; choose, for example, String List and enter CNN website, as an example of a list of URLs.

5. Click Action and select Block request.

6. Click the icon next to CNN website to add an AND rule.

7. When creating a ruleset, specify a Current time is in range as criteria. Any rules defined under this ruleset will only be executed within the specified time range. For example, a rule such as Block CNN temporary will only be enforced during the defined time range. Select Current time is in range in the criteria. Click Add Parameter.

8. Enter the minimum and maximum time range in GMT format on the Current time is in range window.

9. Click Select Value, and the Current time is in range window will appear. The Current time is in range and is configured to yield a boolean result indicating its availability (true) or unavailability (false).

10. Select Action, URL Blocked.

If a URL belongs to the CNN website, the rule blocks any request to access this URL during the time range that you have configured.
