New in Version 6.1
Creating, editing or Deleting a Schedule group requires Workspace admin. Adding a rule to an existing Schedule group requires Rule creator role or above.
Use schedule group to configure a set of rules to run and alert on together — on a schedule. Grouping related rules means you don't have to trigger and monitor each one individually.
