Profile Status action based on %DAYW & time range?

[glc650]

Hi,

I currently have a task with a Profile Status action that enables/disables a profile based on the day (if %DAYW matches Monday/Wednesday/Thursday).  Anyway to specify a time range in addition to these days?

Thanks,

->g.

Nested If actions

1. If %DAYW matches Monday/Wednesday ect...
2.    If %TIME > 5
3.        If %TIME <11.30
4.           Profile status ; toggle
5.         End if
6.     End if
7. End if

FYI...
All of these are available in the context list and you can have up to 3 states and 1 event for a single profile.

Thanks for the reply.

How do these nested IFs/END IFs work?  Do they act like a stop or will actions listed below them still get executed?

   8. Rest of task

If action 1 is not true it will go to action 7
If action 2 is no true it will goto action 6 then ignore 7 and goto 8
If action 3 is not true it will go to action 5 then ignore 6 and 7 and goto 8

Ok that enables the profile during the specified days/time range but how do I get it to disable the profile again when outside of the range?

It's almost certainly better to add these restrictions to the profile you're trying to turn on/off itself (as additional contexts), instead of controlling it this way.

You would use a 'else if'

These are all explained in the user guide .. menu / info / user guide / flow control..
