2. Click Schedule access review.
3. In the Select review type dialog, select Area access review.

   

4. In the Site access review schedule dialog, select the options that you require.
   1. Enter a Name for your area access review.
   2. Select the Trigger site reviews frequency that you require and configure the options.
      Note: The options that are displayed vary depending on the Trigger site reviews frequency that you select.

      Yearly

      Specifies a site access review that occurs yearly.

      Monthly

      Specifies a site access review that occurs monthly.

      Weekly

      Specifies a site access review that occurs weekly.

      Now

      Specifies a site access review that occurs immediately.

      For example, an access review could be started manually using the Now schedule. Typically manual access reviews are used to test reviews before an annual review or scheduled reviews to check that all participants are properly set, or to force a review after an incident.

   3. If you selected Yearly, select the day and month or months that you want the site access review scheduled.
   4. If you selected Monthly, select the day that you want the site access review scheduled.
   5. If you selected Weekly, select the day or days that you want the site access review scheduled.
