Change Window Creation Date and Recurrence

Change Window Creation Date and Recurrence Schedule

The day and date on which you create a change window affects the recurrence logic.

The first instance of a change window is assumed to be the day and time you set in Start time, during the work week (Monday through Sunday) of the Start from date. The Next Window instance is the day (and time) in Start time, according to the number of weeks you configured.

For example, consider a change window that is configured for Fridays at 6 pm, beginning October 3rd 2018, and recurring every three weeks: The change window runs for the first time on Friday, October 5th. The Next Window after that will be Friday, October 26th.

Consider a change window that is configured to start on a day of the week that occurs before the starting date. In the example below, the change window is configured for Tuesdays at 6 pm, beginning October 3rd 2018, and recurring every two weeks:

Even though the Start from date falls on Wednesday, the change window is calculated from the Tuesday of that week (October 2nd).

Therefore, the Next Window (and the first time the change window actually runs) occurs two weeks after the calculated starting day, on Tuesday, October 16th:
