Operating schedule groups
Defining and managing operating schedules can be cumbersome. To help with this process, use operating schedules with operating schedule groups to allow more flexibility in how your organization manages routing hours. Operating schedules are the blocks of time for which a call route is selected. Operating schedule groups allow you to combine multiple operating schedules and associate them to a singular routing definition. You can assign the operating schedules into a designated time zone and group them by type. Types are limited to Open Hours, Closed Hours, or Holiday.
- Holiday
- Closed
- Open
If you activate Emergency routing, Genesys Cloud first evaluates emergencies or performs emergency routing, before it evaluates the Holiday operating schedule.
To manage operating schedules for the organization, click Admin. Under Routing, click Operating Schedules. Next, click the Schedule Groups tab. Here, you can view the list of currently active operating schedule groups and the operating schedules to which they belong.
