Example

Let's say we have a permanent day schedule of Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. An event is coming up requiring the selected DayNight Group to stay extra on Wednesday and Thursday for 2 hours, from 5:00 PM to 7:00PM. To accomplish this you will have to make two entries, one for each date. The reason for this is if you set a start time for additional hours of Wednesday at 5:00 PM through Thursday at 7:00 PM the entire range of defined hours will indicate that the DayNight Group is in Day Mode. If the phones are configured to receive calls in Day Mode they can potentially receive calls during hours that were not intended to be received (e.g. between 7:00 PM through 7:00 AM the next morning)

After you have ensured that have selected the correct range of hours, click Save. If the changes are successful a message will appear at the top stating Changes Saved.
