The **Alert Schedules Status Field** is a drop down menu within the Alert Group that allows you to toggle the entire Alert Schedule between "Enabled" and "Disabled".  
  
If the status is enabled, the Alert Schedule will be active and any monitors that are assigned to this Alert Schedule will receive alerts according to the Alert Schedule in addition to any individual contacts specified within the monitor's unique Alert Schedule.  
  
If the status is disabled, the Alert Schedule is inactive. Any monitors that are assigned to this Alert Schedule will not receive alerts from this Alert Schedule, but will still receive alerts as according to its own unique Alert Schedule as found within the monitor.
