5.6 Associated Elements
You can define certain elements and then use them later when configuring various features
throughout the Web interface. This is very convenient in that it eliminates the need to re-
configure the same element, especially if used in multiple configuration areas. These
elements include the following:
Scheduler Rules – see Section 5.6.1 on page 55
Network Objects – see Section 5.6.2 on page 57
Protocols – see Section 5.6.3 on page 59

Scheduler rules are used for limiting the activation of firewall rules to specific time periods,
specified in days of the week, and hours.
