4. When a custom time will NOT apply
• A global routing rule or IVR fallback that overrides department-level settings.
• Changes were made, but the Save button was not clicked.
• Browser cache displays an old value—refresh to verify.
5. Confirm it’s live
- Place a test call through the same path and time the ringing.
- Open Call Logs and check the ring duration shown for the agent leg(s).
6. Troubleshooting & Escalation
If the updated ringing time does not take effect:
• Refresh the dashboard or clear your browser cache.
• Re-open the department settings to confirm the stored value.
• Verify that no higher-level routing rule overrides the department.• Still stuck? Contact MyOperator Support with the department name and the value you tried to set.
