FortiClient Manager : Configuring FortiClient agent settings : Configuring firewall schedules on a FortiClient agent
 
Configuring firewall schedules on a FortiClient agent
Use recurring schedules to control when policies are active or inactive. Recurring schedules repeat weekly and are effective only at specified times of the day or on specified days of the week.
Create New
Select to create a firewall recurring schedule.
Override
The FortiClient agent’s configuration includes those inherited from the group to which the computer belongs.
Selecting override allows you to modify the inherited firewall schedule configuration on this FortiClient agent. Deselecting override means that you want to use the firewall schedule configuration inherited from the group to which the computer belongs.
Even with inherited firewall service group configurations, you can still create new firewall schedules for a FortiClient agent.
See “Adding a FortiClient agent group” and “Configuring settings for client groups”.
