Right now the only way to handle that is by using a user with the forwarding set to that level of granularity.
"Just because Asterisk does it", or another system, doesn't mean they all can do it. Realize sipx is really aimed at larger enterprises who typically don't handle calls different at lunchtime. While I agree there is room for improvement, you already have your answer (you answered your own question). In order to get to the place you want to get to, I'd suggest looking through the tracker to see if there is another request, or starting a discussion to determine how to structure an improvement request. I'm not saying hold your breath or anything, but once you create the time periods on the user, it works and works well enough for most folks. Yes it does take an extra 3-5 minutes to define the periods. "I've never found sipxecs particularly well suited for a "receptionist(s) must answer all calls during the workday" type of environment, so far everyone has been able to work with what is there. How about voting on this one? Is semi-scheduled. http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XX-8715 On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 11:15 AM, Max DiOrio <[email protected]> wrote: > We have a need for more granular incoming call routing based on time of > day/day of week.
