Selecting Day or Night Service

CMS provides two modes of call management: Day Service and Night Service. During Day Service, one of your shift configurations is active and CMS routes calls to agents. During Night Service, CMS answers incoming calls, connects them to the voice announcement unit, and disconnects the calls after the message is over.

You may want callers to hear a different message at night or on weekends than they might hear during the day. A typical Night Service message is “Thank you for calling Bon Voyage Travel. We are closed now. Please call again between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. any weekday.”

When you start CMS, it is automatically in Day Service mode. You can change from Day Service to Night Service (and vice versa) only when CMS is managing calls.

Change Day or Night Service from the System Status screen by pressing [ F1 ] (labeled “Day/Night”). Then continue with the instructions below for the mode you have selected. A description of system status during Night Service follows the procedure for selecting Night Service.

To change from Day Service to Night Service:

Prompt: DAY/NIGHT: Change to Night Service? (Y/N): _

y to change to Night Service.
