The Schedule settings specify how long alerts remain active.

Alert templates with recurrence or a scheduled start time retain preset Status and other response option attribute values from the last saved template. To change attribute values used by the template, remove the response option from the template, save the template, update the user attribute, and add the response option back to the template.

1. Scroll down to the Schedule section in the alert or alert template.
2. In the Alert Duration field, enter the amount of time the alert should be active. Use the drop-down list to specify whether the time is in minutes, hours, or days.
3. Select the Start Time. Choose Set during alert publishing or Activate Recurrence. Select Activate Recurrence if you want to create an alert that will be used more than once. If you select this option, additional fields appear. For details, see Activate recurrence.
4. Click Preview and Save.
5. On the preview screen, review the template content.
6. Click Save.
