Policy and Device Filters, and Scheduling

Using Scheduling (POST /policies and PUT /policies/{:id} Endpoints)

Policy schedules are the decimal value of a binary representation of True/False for each day/week/month.

Example Days per Week

For scheduling days of the week there will be 7 digits with a trailing zero to mark the end. This starts on Sunday and ends on Monday. 1 represents ON and 0 represents OFF for each day of the week.

Sun|Sat|Fri|Thu|Wed|Tue|Mon|TrailingZero

Every Day: 11111110 = 254 Mon/Wed/Fri only: 00101010 = 42

Example Weeks per Month

Weeks are scheduled similarly to days, except there are 5 digits with a trailing zero. This starts on the 5th week of the month and ends with the 1st week of the month.

5th|4th|3rd|2nd|1st|TrailingZero

Every Week: 111110 = 62 2nd/4th weeks only: 010100 = 20

Example Months per Year

Months continue the trend with 12 digits with a trailing zero. Starting with December and ending with January.

Dec|Nov|Oct|Sep|Aug|Jul|Jun|May|Apr|Mar|Feb|Jan|TrailingZero

Every Month: 1111111111110 = 8190 Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec = 1001001001000 = 4680

Advanced Filters

The following filter parameters are valid for advanced filters. Anything else will return a 400.

Device Filters - Filter Parameters

The device filters preview allows you to view a preview of devices matching a set of Device Targeting criteria that you define. This correlates to the Device Targeting parameters in the Policy Editor screen available in the UI.

You can then use the same parameters to create a new policy, or update an existing policy, targeting those devices.
