Week Schedule Dialog

By default, all servers are available at all times. Using the Queue Monitor's Week Schedule feature, you can arrange the hours during which each server is available for network rendering.

You can specify certain hours for any day of the week. This is useful, for example, if the server is used as a modeling workstation during normal business hours and you do not want it being used as a network render server during this time.
