What happens next

Tips and good practices

 

 

  • Add the reason for the change, for example “office closed for maintenance” or “reduced hours”.

  • Include the date and time when normal service resumes.

  • Create the override at least one day in advance to avoid last minute errors.

  • Double check time zone settings for the dates you enter.

  • Place a test call at the start time to confirm the override is active.
