Creating an After-Hours Weekday Schedule for the Database Team
This document explains how to configure a recurring after-hours weekday on-call schedule for the Database Team using the Calendar view in the Schedules section. It covers selecting the appropriate group, naming and color-coding the schedule, assigning members with escalation order, and setting a weekly recurrence.
Step 1: Open the Calendar View in Schedules
Go to the Schedules section.
From there, select Calendar to open the calendar view.
Step 2: Select the Database Team Group
In the calendar, open the Groups drop-down menu and select the group whose schedule you want to manage.
For this example, choose Database Team. You can also use the search box in the drop-down to quickly find the group.
Step 3: Create a New Schedule
Click Create Schedule to begin configuring a new schedule.
Enter a name for the schedule; in this example, use After Hours Weekday.
Step 4: Configure Schedule Color
Click the blue color box to choose a different color for the schedule so it is easy to identify on the calendar.
This visual distinction helps you quickly spot the after-hours schedule among others.
Step 5: Add Group Members and Set Escalation Order
From the members drop-down menu, select at least one group member to be notified.
If you select multiple members, drag and reorder them to set their escalation priority.
The order defines who is paged first when an alert is sent to the group.
Step 6: Define After-Hours Coverage Window
Configure the time window so that the Database Team is on call after 5:00 PM through 9:00 AM the following morning on weekdays, starting August 17, 2026.
Adjust the start date, start time, and end time to match this after-hours coverage requirement.
Step 7: Set Weekly Recurrence
Because this is a recurring schedule, click Recurrence and set it to Weekly.
Select all the weekdays on which the team should be on call.
Step 8: Save the Schedule
Review your configuration and click Save to finalize the after-hours weekday schedule for the Database Team.
