BizPhone Schedules and Events setup

Schedules and Events allows you to configure the following schedules for your BizPhone service:

Business Hours schedules are set from business open to close, e.g. 9AM to 5PM.
After Hours schedules are set outside of business hours. They should be split into AM (midnight to business open) and PM (business closed to midnight) events when created, e.g. 12AM to 8:59AM and 5:01PM to 11:59PM. It's also possible to create separate Weekend events.
Holiday schedules are set for specific Public Holidays or holiday periods. While a holiday schedule is active, the Auto Attendant or Hunt Group performs After Hours or Busy treatment.

These schedules are used in a range of other BizPhone features, such as Auto Attendant, call forwarding and more.
