The Exact usage time section displays a table of application usage time. By using this table, you can set up an hour-by-hour schedule for use of the application throughout the week.
Application usage time table
You can use this table to specify the days of the week and the hours when the user is allowed to use the application. The table rows correspond to days of week and the table columns correspond to one-hour intervals on the timeline. Depending on the regional settings of the operating system, the timeline may be displayed in 24-hour or in 12-hour format. The colors of table cells indicate the restrictions that are in effect: red means that application use is blocked and gray means that application use is allowed. Clicking a table cell changes its color. When you roll the mouse pointer over a cell, the time interval corresponding to that cell is displayed under the table.
