You are now given three options to fill in.

During Opening Hours

Here you indicate what should happen with the calls when you are open.

For an example: A welcome message, a call group, a selection menu, a queue, etc. And you end up with a voicemail or forwarding the calls to another number e.g cellphone.

Outside Opening Hours

This is your after-hours option:  You you fill in what needs to happen outside your opening hours.

For example,  a voicemail or call divert

Public holidays

Here you indicate what should be done if you are closed during the holidays that you previously ticked in the Opening hours | Basic feature.

This is how it will reflect once it is done
