Dashboard Beta Update - Improved Scheduling (June 24, 2024)
The Tech Lockdown dashboard (Beta version) has been updated recently to improve the experience for setting and viewing rule schedules.
View Schedules for All Rules
On the content policy page, you can toggle between a List view and Schedule view.
This gives you a birds-eye view of the scheduled rules relative to your current time.
Click a schedule to quickly navigate to the schedule editor for that rule.
Edit Recurring Schedules for Rules
You can navigate to the schedule section in the Rule Editor to assign a schedule.
When a rule does not have a schedule assigned, it is always active.
You can add a schedule so that the rule will only be active for that specific day of the week and time range you picked.
The color of the calendar entries will depend on the rule type. Block, allow, SafeSearch, or YouTube restricted have their own unique colors.
You can easily assign a recurring schedule to a rule by clicking on an empty space and dragging.
On mobile, you need to long-press instead of click.
Drag between days to quickly block consecutive days.
Drag and resize events.
Click or tap a schedule entry to remove it.
To add a block overnight, click and hold on the starting time in the evening and drag into the next day in the morning. Release to confirm:
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don't select a schedule?
If the schedule is empty, the rule will always be active. If you want to limit when a rule is active, select some time slots on the schedule.
Can I pick specific dates?
The schedule allows you to pick recurring days/times, not a specific date/time range. This means that if you select the Wednesday column from 9:00AM - 11:00AM, then this rule will be active from 9:00AM - 11:00AM every Wednesday.
How can I prevent myself from changing schedules?
If you lock your tech lockdown profile , some scheduling changes will be prevented.
