Using a Time Plan
A Time Plan can be used to specify the day of the week and time of the day a facility is operational. For
example, a Time Plan can be used to stipulate when a Department is operational and outside of these
hours when the Out of Hours Distribution Group will be used.
A Time Plan can be applied to Departments, Dial Plans, LCR Plans, DDI Plans and VXML Scripts.
By default, a Time Plan called Standard is created. This is set for Saturday to Sunday, 00:00 to 23:59 so that
all features using a Time Plan will be active 24 hours unless changed. It is highly recommended that this
Time Plan is not amended
–
create a new Time Plan instead.
