Configuring Timed Access for “User Slot Qty Selection”

For each day, limit use of computers to 120 minutes per user.  This scenario is setup using the following criteria:

• Each user will be limited to a maximum of 12 slots.  Each slot will be 10 minutes in length

• When a user logs in, they will be prompted to specify the amount of time they wish to use.  With this method, they are required to enter 10minute blocks (i.e. can log in specifying 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, etc.).  Each 10 min block will be worth 1 slot.  For example, a user signs in for 20 minutes at the beginning of the day.  Using up 20 minutes will deduct 2 slots.  Therefore, they will be able to log in 10 more times.
