Set Up Business Hours Sets

Before adding business hours sets, verify the current user's time zone in contact center matches the time zone on the PC. To change the current user's time zone, select the username on the top right corner | My Settings | Time zone.

If creating a business hours set that will be applied to a queue or IVR in another time zone, configure the business hours as if you are currently in that time zone. The offset will be automatically calculated when the business hours set and time zone are configured on the queue.

1. Add a Name and Description

2. Add or edit the time ranges. Each time range includes a start time, end time, and a label for an action that will occur after hours (between this time range and the next time range).
