  7. Select Date and/or Time
  8. Select Specific Date Range
  9. Choose the start and end dates and times using the calendar and arrows
  10. Click Next
  11. Select action to take when incoming calls match this rule, which will likely either be Send to voicemail or Play an Announcement (Play a pre-recorded announcement and end the call afterward)
  12. Either way, choose the greeting that will play
  13. Click Save
  14. Click Next
  15. Give the rule a name (e.g. Holiday, Vacation, Inclement Weather)
  16. Click Save
  17. Verify that the rule is Active
