Setting Node Breaks

The Node Breaks tab is used only if your site also has the Blockbuster module.

On the Node Breaks tab, create driver breaks where the duration of the break is node dependent. For example, you can say that at a certain node from 10:00 to 14:00, there is a minimum break of 15 minutes and a maximum break of 30 minutes.

The values that you set on this tab for the various breaks in a specific node overwrite the global values that you set on the Parameters tab in BlockBuster.
