Updating a time-of-day routing plan

In Control Center, you can specify the time of day you want calls redirected to a specific location. If your needs change, you can update the call plan.

To update an existing time-of-day routing plan:

  1. Click Inventory, then click Inventory.

    Control Center displays a list of all services assigned to the accounts under your enterprise ID. If you have more than 10 services, you can view the rest of your services by clicking one of the blue linked Show numbers at the top of the list or you can click the blue down arrow at the bottom of the list to add 10 services at a time to the view.

  1. Search for the service in one of these ways:

    • Sort your services using the Sort by… list (e.g., Service Type). You can toggle between descending and ascending order using the arrow to the right of the Sort by… list.

    • Filter your services by selecting an option from the View All (Default) list.

    • Search for a specific service (by service type, account, etc.) using the Search by… field and search box. (To search using multiple search criteria, click Advanced Search, then fill in your search criteria and click Apply Search Filters. When you're done, click Close Advanced Search.)

      3. To add a dedicated trunk:

        1. Select the DED radio button.

        2. From the Primary Trunk list, select the trunk.

      4. To add a switched ANI:

        1. Select the  SWI radio button.

        2. From the ANI list, select the terminating route.

          If you don't see the trunk/ANI you need, click the ADD ANI TO THE LIST button, fill in the fields, click Add, then select the number from the list.
           
      5. Scroll to the bottom, select the day/holiday, click Update.

      2. Scroll down to the Routing Criteria section.

      3. Make your changes, then click Update.

        Your times cannot overlap. If you have one time period ending at 10:00, the next one cannot start until 10:01. Also, you must use the 24-hour clock format—e.g., 17:00 for 5:00 pm, referred to as Military Time, in Control Center.
         
    • To change the terminating number or the terminating route type for one of the rules, click the light gray bar for the rule, then do either of the following:

    • To add a dedicated trunk:

      1. Select the DED radio button.

      2. From the Primary Trunk list, select the trunk.
         
    • To add a switched ANI:

      1. Select the  SWI radio button.

      2. From the ANI list, select the terminating route.

        If you don't see the trunk/ANI you need, click the ADD ANI TO THE LIST button, fill in the fields, click Add, then select the number from the list.

Note: We recommend you do not fill in the description when you create an ANI. When you leave the description blank, the phone number will show in the list, rather than the description.

  1. When you're done making changes, scroll to the bottom of the screen, then click Save Changes.

Important: We recommend you schedule your call plan an hour before the activation time. After it has been scheduled, you are unable to edit the plan. If you want to make changes after the plan has been scheduled, you need to wait until the changes go into effect and then you can change it.
