Time Conditions Example

In our example we have an employee that will receive calls during a set time range and set days. Below is what the settings look like for Monday through Friday at 5:00pm to 11:00pm. If the employee doesnt answer the call will be directed to the Timeout Destination. Label the Name as Oncall and invent the Extension as 10011. In the Settings choose from the dropdown lists for Day of Week for the condition, Monday for the Value and Friday for the Range. Next set of dropdown list choose Time of Day for the condition, 5:00 PM for the value and 11:00 PM for the Range. If other options are needed just click the + to the right of Range.

The next dropdown choose the extension where the call is intended for. If the call is outside the date and time specified the call will goto the Alternate Destination dropdown. Be sure Enabled is set True and click save.
