Create a schedule
- Open Admin Center, Business rules, Business schedules and choose New schedule.
- Enter a Name and pick the Timezone.
- Under Weekly hours, set when you are Open each day with Opens and Closes. Use Add hours for a split day, for example a lunch break.
- Under Holidays, add closed days with a name and date. Tick Every year for holidays on the same date each year.
- Turn on Default schedule if policies without a schedule should use it.
- Choose Save schedule.
On a holiday and outside opening hours, business-hour timers pause.
Which schedule a ticket uses
You can have several schedules, for example one per region. A ticket uses the default schedule unless a trigger sets another one with the Set schedule action, for example "if the organization is in Kenya, set schedule Nairobi". An SLA policy can also pick a fixed schedule.
Without any schedule, business-hour targets run around the clock.
If you delete a schedule, policies that use it fall back to the default schedule.
