A Connection can now be scheduled for a temporary change to what Configuration/Group it points to. This is useful for time-bound changes such as campaigns, promotions, or night-time adjustments, without needing a manual update at the exact start and stop time.
How it works
- You schedule a start and stop date/time, and pick the Configuration/Group the Connection should point to during that window.
- At the start time, the Connection automatically switches to the scheduled Configuration/Group.
- At the stop time, the Connection automatically switches back to what it pointed to before.
Only one scheduled override can be active per Connection at a time.
Rules and limits
- Maximum duration of a scheduled override: 14 days.
- A scheduled override can be set up at most 14 days in advance.
- You must define a stop date/time within that 14-day window.
- If a change needs to last longer than 14 days, schedule the time-critical initial change as normal, then update the Connection manually for the change to become permanent.
Scheduling a temporary override
- Go to the Connections page and find the Connection you want to change.
- Expand the Connection and scroll down to “Schedule a temporary override”
- Choose the Configuration/Group the Connection should point to during that window.
- Set the start and stop date and time for the override.
- Save the Connection to apply the scheduled override.
Cancelling a scheduled override
If a Connection has a scheduled override and you no longer want it to apply, you can cancel it.
- Go to the Connections page and find the Connection with the scheduled override.
- In the Scheduled override section, select Cancel override.
- All override fields are cleared.
- Select Save on the Connection.
The cancellation only takes effect once the Connection is saved. If you navigate away without saving, the scheduled override remains in place.
