Time Groups & Time Conditions
FreePBX 2.5 breaks down Time Conditions in to two separate modules: Time Groups and Time Conditions. The reason? To confuse you! Nay, we wouldn't do that. But in case we did, this should set the record straight.

Day / Night Mode Control
in
This module alows for the inbound routing changes to be placed via a phone call - without requiring access to the web configuration page. The module is useful for any situation where inbound routing needs to be changed by end users on-the-fly. An example of this would be a situation where an office would close early because of bad weather. In this case, just dial the appropriate feature code, and voila! all inbound calls go straight to the "night" IVR (or voice mail, or calls get forwarded to an answering service, etc.)

Time Conditions
Information
Time Conditions are a module that appears as a destination when
installed. It allows you to do an 'if' based on the current Time,
Weekday, Day of the Month, or Month. At the moment it's reasonably
basic with no support for 'AND' or 'OR', but you can chain together
time conditions to do the same thing.
Time Condition Name
A short name which is used to identify the Time Condition in a destination.
Time Condition
Select from the pull down menus the time range that you want to use. Note that '-' means 'Any'.

Using the Day/Night Control with a Time Condition
Overriding a Time Condition with a feature code is a request that has been asked for since as long as Time Conditions have been available in FreePBX. It comes up regularly on the forums and there have been many custom versions implemented and posted to solve this problem. We have introduced a Day/Night Control module to provide this ability as mentioned in an announcement a few weeks ago.
