Feature “Best Practices”
![Page 50: Advanced Call Routing Capabilities](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/55cfe913bb61ebc6608b4803/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Best Practices
50
• Default rule routes to service – rules that route to 7777, etc. are generally unnecessary – Define Exceptions!
Don’t create unnecessary rules
• If not, After Hours rule on a Holiday may hit first and follow the After Hour rule
Holiday Rules should come first
• Create multiple schedules, then a rule for each
Don’t cram a bunch of events on one schedule
• Set correct time zone on each service you add rules to
Check your time zone!
