Answer Schedule Override
Description
Answer Schedule Override provides alternate answering for Automated Attendant calls. When enabled,
Answer Schedule Override sends calls to the specified Override Mailbox. The Override Mailbox can be an
Announcement or Call Routing Mailbox. You can use Answer Schedule Override to provide holiday and
bad weather closing enactments, for example. Enable override when you want callers to hear the special
announcements; disable override to have the Automated Attendant answer normally.
To enable Answer Schedule Override, the administrator can:
● Call into the Automated Attendant.
● Dial # and their mailbox number.
● Dial SA to access the System Administrator Functions.
● Dial SO to enable Answer Schedule Override and choose an override mailbox.
Answer Schedule Override stays in effect until the System Administrator turns it off.
