3. Click Call Handling > Advanced.

   

4. Click Add Rule.

   

5. Set a name for the new rule and where you want the new rule to work.  Also, select the Base Custom rule on the following condition. Click Next to proceed.
   • Date and/or Time rules – Apply based on a time of the day and week every week, or on a specific date range.
   • Caller ID rules – Apply to calls coming from specific phone numbers. You can create a list of phone numbers to be used for this setting. (Numbers selected must be using Caller ID.)

   Date and/or Time rules
   Caller ID rules
   Called Number rules

7. You may select how you want your calls to be handled:

   

   • Transfer call to call queue members
     Distribute the call among your call queue members, using the members and rules you’ve already established for this call queue. For this option you may also change Call Screening, Call Handling, and Messages setting.
   • Play Announcement Only
     Play a pre-recorded announcement and end the call afterwards. For this option you may also change the Greeting.
   • Take Messages Only
     Send callers to voicemail. For this option you may change the Voicemail Greeting and the Message Recipient.
   • Unconditional Forwarding
     Select if you want to forward the call to a different phone number without having to go through your greeting settings. This option is good when you want the call to go directly to your personal voicemail when you don’t pick-up.
   • Connect to extension specified below
     Transfer calls to a particular extension.
8. Click Done.
