Named User Groups, Address Groups and Time Classes

When configuring services, you can assign names to groups of users or hosts, and then use the names to refer to the entire group. You can also define time specifications and associate these with names, and then use the names to refer to them. This allows you to use the same time specification many times, and, when changes are required, change the definition in only one place and have the effects propagate to all uses of the time specification.
