How to set TODR when your office is closed on the Easter weekend
In this example, we will set your Time of Day Routing (TODR) to 'out of office' on Friday, the 3rd of April and Monday the 6th of April 2026
The screenshot below illustrates our existing TODR rule for our working hours.

To add a new rule, first go to your Incoming Calls page, click the Time of Day Routing tab and click the +Add To button.

Using the Add A New Time of Day Routing Rule feature, enter or select the following values:
| Setting | Value |
| Start/End time | Any time |
| Days of the Week | Leave unselected |
| Days of the month | 3, 6 |
| Months of the year | Apr |
| Order position | 1 |
| Calls in time range go to | Out of Office Hours |
Here is what your Add A New Time of Day Routing Rule form should look like:

Click Submit to save your new TODR rule.
The screenshot below shows our existing rules, with our new rule for the 3rd and 6th April at the top of the list - TODR rules are actioned sequentially in order, starting at Order 1.

If you have a complex TODR setup, generally, rules for one-off public holidays should always be placed above your regular working hours.
