Auto (Scheduling)
The Auto (Scheduling) Tab Screen (see
automatic changes for each mailbox. You can set these changes to occur at a specific time, on
certain days of the week, or on a specified date. For example, based on your Auto definition, voice
mail can answer your company's telephone during the day with your daytime (open) greeting and
during off-hours with your nighttime (closed) greeting. The Stratagy ES software allows an
unlimited number of auto scheduling records for each mailbox.
By defining Auto fields, you can schedule when a mailbox can change the:
•
DND setting
•
Call Screening setting
•
Greeting number
•
Voice Menu
•
Destination defined in the Extension field
•
Number of rings before taking a message for this extension
The following concepts are the keys to understanding how voice mail uses Auto Scheduling
records:
•
Voice mail waits for the right date, time, and day, and then makes the specified changes.
•
The changes remain in effect until you either disable the Auto Scheduling record or another
record with different options is scheduled to start.
•
If the re-schedule information does not fall on a valid day, voice mail increments the Next
Change date until it falls on a valid day as defined by the Active Days field.
For example, to schedule a greeting to play on Thanksgiving Day each year you would set the
following fields to:
•
Enabled—checked (On)
•
Change On—11/25/99 (Thanksgiving Day in 1999)
•
At—8:00
•
And Every—12 Months
•
Active Days: MTWTFSS

Voice mail checks for the next Thursday after 11/25/99 and displays Next Change:11/23/00,
which is the next day that meets the criteria specified in the record.
