Enabling and Disabling Rule Sets

Enabling a rule set means to set the days or date range that it will be active. Cisco Unity Connection uses the schedule to apply rules to your incoming phone calls. You can schedule the active period in advance in the Personal Call Transfer Rules web tool.

Disabling a rule set means making it ineligible to be active.

Connection allows more than one rule set to be enabled within the same time period. When more than one rule set is enabled, a set enabled within a range of dates takes precedence over a set enabled by days of the week. When the range of dates is no longer applicable, the set enabled by days of the week is restored. Multiple rule sets cannot be enabled on overlapping dates.

Procedure
    Step 1   In the Personal Call Transfer Rules web tool, from the Rules menu, select Enable Rule Sets.
    Step 2   To enable a rule set for a range of dates:
    1. On the Enable Rule Sets page, in the Date Range section, select the rule set in the Rule Set column list that you want to enable. The check box in the Enabled column is checked automatically.
    2. Set the applicable dates in the Start Date and End Date column lists.
    3. To add another row, select Add Date Range, then repeat Step a and Step b to specify the date range for any additional rule sets.

      You can schedule several date ranges in advance. For example:

      • Vacation rule set, enabled March 1 to March 8

      • Work Travel rule set, enabled March 9 to March 11

      • Workweek rule set, enabled March 12 to March 31

      Only the rule set enabled during the date range that includes the current date is active.

    4. Select Save.
    Step 3   To enable a rule set for days of the week:
    1. On the Enable Rule Sets page, in the Days of Week section, select the rule set in the Rule Set column list that you want to enable for the applicable days of the week. The check box in the Enabled column is checked automatically.

      You can specify a rule set for one or more days of the week (for example, every Tuesday, every weekday, or every weekend), or you can choose Daily to apply the rule set to every day of the week.

    2. Select Save.
    Step 4   To disable a rule set:
    1. On the Enable Rule Sets page, uncheck the check box in the Enabled column.

      Alternatively, you can select None in the Rule Set column list.

    2. Select Save.
