Drag. Drop. What?
When you first look at the switchboard it can be pretty overwhelming, but it can be pretty simple if you take the time to learn how it works. The switchboard will always begin at the Start icon in the top left , then it goes from left to right, like a book.
Follow the orange line road.
The switchboard is logic-based, so it will travel to one object, read that object, and depending on what the object says, it will follow the logic after that. Look at the picture below of a basic switchboard setup.
It begins at the Start then goes to a schedule and asks "Is this business open, closed, or is it on a Holiday?" Based on the answer it gets from the schedule selected in there, it moves onto its next step. If the business is open, it will follow the flow to the transfer and continue and then to the leave voicemail. If closed or Holiday, it will go to the auto attendant and give the customer options.
