Schedule controls are accessed from the Account Settings (gear icon).
To configure schedules, go to Account Setup > Scheduling (https://app.velaro.com/#/admin/scheduling).
The Scheduling control allows the chat hours of operations to be set for specific schedules and can be set per group. To set up groups, see Manage Groups.
The scheduled hours of operation determine the availability of the groups included in the specific schedule. If agents are online and available chat is online during business hours. When Scheduling is enabled it overrides the availability of agents, making chat offline during outside hours, even if agents are logged in. Scheduling will not make chat available if no one is logged in.
To create a schedule click the top right blue option: Add Schedule.
The Schedule will appear and allow you to name it, set the days and hours, and add the groups using these hours.
Be sure to turn scheduling on to activate.
