Manage office hours schedule

Office hours schedules determine routing options for an Auto Attendant. As a SIMPLE administrator, you can manage the schedules. A schedule is comprised of a series of events. An event is equal to a day of the week. The hours for each event reflect working hours for that day.

 

The first five steps are the same for all scheduling:

  1. Click the Schedule tab. The Office Hours tab opens.
