A real-world scenario
Let's work through a real-world scenario where we have an area with "office hours"
of:
Monday - Thursday
08:15 am - 6:00 pmFriday
09:00 am - 5:00 pm
In this scenario, the user wants to arm the notification system outside of those office hours.
To do so, the user would need to input the following:
Day | Time | Action |
Monday | 08:15 | Disarm |
Monday | 18:00 | Arm |
Tuesday | 08:15 | Disarm |
Tuesday | 18:00 | Arm |
Wednesday | 08:15 | Disarm |
Wednesday | 18:00 | Arm |
Thursday | 08:15 | Disarm |
Thursday | 18:00 | Arm |
Friday | 09:00 | Disarm |
Friday | 17:00 | Arm |
