Campaign scheduling overview
With campaign scheduling, you can set a weekly schedule to determine when your ads will be displayed to your target audience. You’ll select the specific dates and times that you’d like to allow, and any dates and times you don’t select will be blocked from serving ad impressions.
Refer to Campaign scheduling (dayparting) overview for more details on how your campaign’s scheduling settings are executed.
