Table of Contents

Purpose

Do Not Disturb temporarily blocks incoming calls from ringing through to the user’s device during designated periods. Furthermore, this advanced scheduling system automatically forwards calls to voicemail or alternate destinations during DND periods. Because some calls are critical, the system also maintains exception lists for important contacts.
