14.3.1. Creating a Rule Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

You can set up forwarding rules for a specific time range, caller phone number, contact list or presence status.

For example, you can forward your calls to a meeting room when your presence status is “In Meeting” or to your mobile phone when your presence is “Away”. For more information about user presence, see Section 2.7.
Based on the Time and Range condition, you can make the rules valid for specific days of the week, for an entire day or for a specific period of time.
You can set multiple conditions at the same rule.
IMPORTANT:
The forwarding rules bypass the preferred devices and simple forwarding settings.
