Adjusting Holiday Routes

Holiday Groups
Holiday Groups are holidays in which your business is open for partial days but less than your regular business hours. This allows an additional level of control over your holiday routes.
Creating Holiday Groups
1. Create a Holiday by following the steps above.
2. navigate to PBX Holidays and select the Holiday Groups tab.
3. Enter a Holiday Group name, holiday date, start and end times, and the time zone. When finished, click the Save button.
Phone numbers to which the Holiday Group is applied will not ring during the times set within the Holiday Group. For example, if you will only be open from 10am to 2pm, you must set two times within the Holiday Group for that date (12:01 am - 10:00am and 2:00pm to 11:59pm) to allow the phones to ring from 10am to 2pm but direct all calls outside of those hours to your desired Holiday route.
