Time Windows allow Enterprise Security practices to control when users can access Practice by Numbers. This feature helps reduce after-hours access and supports internal security and compliance policies.
Where to Find Time Windows
Go to: New Settings > General > Security Management > Time Windows
What Are Time Windows?
Time Windows define approved login hours by day of the week.
They can be applied to:
Specific roles
Individual users
Access outside of these windows is automatically blocked.
Creating Time Windows
Administrators can:
Set allowed start and end times per day
Add descriptions (e.g., Office Hours)
Import office hours for faster setup
Multiple time windows can be created and edited as needed.
Enforcing Time Restrictions
Time restrictions are enforced from: Security Management > General Settings
Once enabled, selected users or roles can only log in during approved times.
User Experience: Access Restricted Screen
If a user attempts to log in outside their allowed time window, they will see:
A message explaining access is restricted
The current date and time
Their approved access times
Users can retry access once the time window opens or check again later.
Best Practices
Apply time windows to non-clinical roles
Align access hours with office schedules
Combine with IP restrictions for layered security
Summary
Time Windows give practices precise control over system access hours, reducing risk while maintaining transparency for users.
