Timegroups are a mandatory requirement for all of Voice Assure's testing. They are used
to determine the frequency of testing and days on which tests should run.
To create a timegroup, do the following:
-
Navigate to the Add Timegroup dialog box as outlined below.
-
Navigate to the Timegroups module here (this is nested in a tab which can be located along the
top of the page under the Campaigns module).
-
Click the Add Timegroup button
(this is located top right of the screen).
-
Complete Sub-steps a-g as outlined below.
-
Name: Give your timegroup a name. This will appear in the timegroups
overview, and in all drop-down menus where you will select timegroups or
time constraints.
-
Interval: Use the drop-down menu to set the frequency of your
tests. For example; minutes, hours, days, weeks, months etc..
Tip: This interval is only used for Campaigns. It
does not affect any Time Matrix which may be set for rolling tests.
-
Run on days: Use the checkboxes to select the days on which you
would like the campaign to run.
-
Date Slot: Select both a start and end date in the fields provided
before clicking the Add button to confirm your selection.
Tip: You can also choose NOT to have an end
date by using the checkbox provided.
-
Time Slot: Use the sliders to select the time-frame for the tests to run.
For example; between 08:00 + 18:00 hours. Click the Add button to save your
selection.
Note: Use the radio buttons to indicate if you would
like the tests to run 'Outside' the times you have set. Choosing 'Inside' will run
the tests between the times selected. Choosing 'Outside' will run the test outside
the times you have chosen.
-
When editing a timegroup, this field will present warnings to let you know if any
other campaigns will be affected by your edits.
-
Save: When you are happy with your timegroup click the Save button to
complete your setup.
-
Your task is complete.
Results: The page will revert back to the timegroups
list view. Your new timegroup will now be available to use when adding new numbers,
rolling tests or setting up campaigns.
