With its help, administrators can determine how the system will handle incoming calls during off-hours: forward to an answering machine, play special voice messages or forward calls to the mobile numbers of on-duty employees. This ensures correct interaction with customers outside of working hours and maintains a high level of service.

## Creating a rule To add a new rule, click on the "**Add Time Interval**" button.

A form for creating a new rule will open.

Call transfer options include transferring the call to a conference, IVR menu, queue, internal employee extension, or specific termination numbers. In the **Note** field, you can add a note with a description of the created rule, so that you can quickly navigate through the essence of this rule using this description.
