# Schedule Alert Suppression

A **Suppression Schedule** defines a recurring time window during which alert notifications are muted. Use it for planned maintenance windows, known outage periods, or any recurring event where you want to prevent alert noise.

Unlike a one-time [Suppress Alert Notification](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/4.0.2/alerts/administration/silence/), a suppression schedule applies repeatedly on the configured recurrence pattern.

## Create a Suppression Schedule

1. Click the **Alerts** tab, then select **Suppress Schedule** from the drop-down menu.
2. Click **Add Suppression Schedule**.
3. Enter a **Name** for the schedule.
4. Configure the recurrence:
   - **Day of week** — Select the days when the schedule is active.
   - **Time range** — Set the start and end time for each occurrence.
   - **Month** — Optionally restrict the schedule to specific months.
   - **Day of month** — Optionally restrict the schedule to specific days of the month.
5. Click **Save** to activate the schedule.

## Assign a Suppression Schedule to a Contact Point

To apply a schedule, link it to a contact point when configuring alerts. See [Contact Points](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/4.0.2/alerts/administration/contact-points/) for details.
