Additional Tips

• Bulk Configuration: If you need to set up call forwarding for multiple users, check if Nextiva offers bulk editing options. This can save time by applying the same settings to multiple accounts at once.
• Schedules and Policies: As an admin, you may have access to more advanced features like scheduling call forwarding based on time of day or creating call policies. Explore these options if they are relevant to your business needs.
• Support: If you encounter any issues or need help with advanced configurations, reach out to Nextiva support for assistance.
