Specification panel of the Sales rule window
The Specification panel is used to enter specific privileges to use in separate periods of a business day.

Data grid columns:
-
Name — name of the privilege applied.
-
Enabled — specifies whether the privilege is applied in a specific time interval.
The Enabled columns are displayed only when intervals for the privilege are specified.
The period when the privilege is applied is specified using the Interval start and Interval end values. These values can correspond to the opening and closing time or be set for specific time.
Note
When the specified intervals overlap, only start and end time is displayed in the columns. For example, if the interval start time is 9:00 and its end time is 11:00, the table will contain two columns: 9:00 — 11:00 and from 11:00. Adding the interval starting from 12:00 and ending at 16:00, will add intervals 11:00 — 12:00, 12:00 — 16:00, from 16:00 and delete the interval from 11:00.
