Time Groups (Standard)

Time groups are a prerequisite for all Voice Assure testing.

Time Groups Module

Time groups decide the testing frequency and the days on which tests should run.

Using the time groups page, you can search, view, add, edit or delete time groups. It contains all currently entered time groups, their status, and a summary of each time group’s schedule.
