Schedule Controller

Follow the PARTNER MAIL Business Schedule

You use Business Schedule to enter your normal hours of operation. If you set the Schedule Controller to Follow the PARTNER MAIL Business Schedule, Night Service notifications from the communications system are ignored.

Considerations and Constraints

No matter which of the two Schedule Controller settings you use to control the Automated Attendant’s Day and Night operation, you can override the operation by using either of the following features:

■You can use the Business Schedule’s Temporarily Closed option to schedule a temporary closing up to a week in advance.

■You can use Open or Closed for Today to set the current day to open or closed in case of an unexpected change to your regular schedule.

If you program the Automated Attendant to be Open for Today, the Automated Attendant operates in Day mode until midnight. If you use the Close for Today or Temporarily Closed option, the Automated Attendant operates in Night mode until midnight. At midnight the Automated Attendant reverts back to Day or Night mode as determined by the Schedule Controller. You can revert to the regular schedule for the current day by using the Resume Regular Schedule option of Open or Closed for Today.
