Managing Special Dates

Special dates are specified in automatic outbound call tasks. For example, if a call center expects the agents to make outbound calls on workdays at a time different from that on weekends and public holidays, set weekends and public holidays to special dates which can be selected when you create automatic outbound call tasks.

Prerequisites

Some operations under the current menu are controlled by separate permissions. If related operation permissions are not configured, the corresponding operations are not supported. For details about the operation permissions that can be configured separately, see Table 1.

Context

You can set special dates in any of the following ways:

  • Specify one or more days in a week, usually weekends or workdays.
  • Specify a date or time period. Generally, usually holidays or workdays temporarily adjusted.
  • Specify one or more days in a year, usually public holidays.

Business Scenario

In a call center, Saturday and Sunday are special days, and no agent needs to be on duty.

Procedure

  1. Sign in to the AICC as a tenant administrator and choose Configuration Center > Call Config > Holidays.
