In Splunk 6.6, why has the "Schedule Window" setting for alert become non-intuitive for users?

[ryandg]

After upgrading from 6.5 to 6.6, the "Schedule Window" parameter in Splunk Web was moved from being right below the cron schedule box to being hidden away under the settings --> alert and reporting --> edit --> advanced edit --> bottom of a long list of weird parameters.

This is entirely non-intuitive for our basic users, is there anyway to get it back to where it used to be?

Could this be a permissions / rights issue?

On 6.5 (not 6.6) I got feedback from users they can't see the Schedule Window setting under "Edit".
These users have a role with the edit_search_schedule_window capability.
However, clicking the report name from under "Settings->Searches, reports and alerts" will show the box in the right place.

I, with my Admin role, can see the Schedule Window under the cron schedule box in all places I expect to see it.

Hi ryandg,
From the docs:
"Splunk Enterprise does not provide a means of downgrading to previous versions. If you need to revert to an older Splunk release, just reinstall it."
