Time schedules are used when you want automatic routes based on time for incoming calls. This is used when your office are defined (as example M-F 9am-5pm) and you can specify where to send your callers if callers reach you during ‘open hours’ or ‘closed hours’. These are also helpful for assign custom greetings and message during holidays automatically.
