A schedule is a list of rules. Inside a rule everything has to match; across rules, any one matching is enough.
Rules
Writing a rule, combining several, and reading the statuses and warnings the editor gives you back.
In this section
Writing a rule
The three sections of a rule: dates, time of day, and days of week. What each accepts and what leaving one alone means.
Combining rules
Inside one rule everything must match. Across rules, any one is enough. That is the whole model.
Reading the rule list
The four rule statuses, why they are worked out across every time zone, and the summary that describes the whole schedule.
