Flexible Answering Schedules - NEC Aspire S IntraMail System Manual

Flexible Answering Schedules

Description
The Automated Attendant can answer outside calls with different announcements and dialing options,
depending on the time of day and day of week. For example, a company can set up separate schedules for
weekdays, evenings, weekends, and specific holidays. Each schedule can play a different announcement to
callers, as well as provide them with unique dialing options. Once set up in programming, the schedule oper-
ation is automatic.
The Flexible Answering Schedules are determined by the set up of the IntraMail Answer Tables. See Answer
Tables on page 36 for more.
