Routing Based on Date & Time Sample

This application demonstrates routing based on business hours. A customer care company separates customer calls based on working days (Monday - Friday) and working hours (09:00 -17:00). Based on the working days and hours, the company sends the customer call to one of two targets.

• Agent Group #1: CustomerServiceTeam - Available during the working days and hours.
• Agent Group #2: AfterHoursTeam - Available for non-regular working days and hours.

Previous Genesys Administrator (or Configuration Manager) setup involved defining Agent Groups and agents (Persons). The workflow diagram is shown below.
