Time Groups.md - edlentz/Nimbus GitHub Wiki

In Nimbus Voice (FreePBX-based), Time Groups are the building blocks for Time Conditions. They define specific time ranges — such as business hours, lunch breaks, weekends, or holidays — that can then be referenced in Time Conditions to route calls accordingly.

Think of a Time Group as a schedule that tells the system when something should happen.

A Time Group is a reusable set of time rules that can be applied in:

• Time Conditions

• Call Flow Controls

• Inbound Routing

A Time Condition uses a Time Group to determine whether to route a call to Destination A (if the time matches) or Destination B (if it doesn’t).

1. Go to Applications → Time Groups

2. Click “Add Time Group”

This makes it easy to reuse a "Holiday" group in multiple Time Conditions across your system.

• If any one of the conditions in a Time Group matches the current time, the Time Condition is considered matched.

• If none match, it defaults to the no-match destination in the Time Condition.

• Use clear, descriptive names: Support Hours, Lunch Break, Holidays.

• Group multiple dates (e.g., holidays) in one Time Group for simpler management.

• Use Time Conditions to act on the logic — Time Groups only define the time ranges.

• Combine Time Groups + Overrides (Feature Codes) for manual holiday or emergency control.

• Time Conditions (main use case)

• Call Flow Control

• Inbound Route scheduling

• IVR redirection based on schedule
