Visible Notification for Out of Office hours?

[nobody]

I dont think there is a way to lite up an LED on every phone when the the out of office setting goes in effect, either automatic or manually?
Like a BLF key but for the OOO setting.

Hello @nobody

Please note that this is not possible as the status of the system is not monitored by a BLF.
If extensions have auto switch enabled however you can see them turning to DND through presence with a 3CX client.

This has been asked a few times before and I am pretty certain there is no way to do this.

If this is set the whole PBX is in or out of office hours so how to monitor this?

Perhaps one of the integration partners has a solution, or check the ideas sit I'm sure it has been raised before.

I also thought about using an extension for this. but then, how can I enable the users without forcing them to login into the WebUI of 3cx to switch the Status off and on? Not only the notification is needed also a button.

You can have a blf on each phone that forces the PBX to in or out of office hours however that button will not be monitored. The users however can switch the PBX to in or out office hours without accessing the PBX management console

Thanks, Thats how it currently is setup. But today I got questions about how to find out the status.

There is no visual indication regarding the in and out of office hours state of the PBX i am afraid.

I would, I will vote for this feature, we are asked for it regularly - especially from customers from a traditional/legacy background.
