* **Custom Name**: Enter a name to identify the node.
* **Hours of Operation**: Select the hours of operation from the dropdown. A **Default Hours of Operation** entry is created automatically. You can [add more](/ai-for-service/contact-center/configurations/operational-configurations#add-hours-of-operation) if needed.
* **Inside working hours**: Select a **Go to node** to direct the flow when a query arrives during business hours.
* **Outside working hours**: Select a **Go to node** to direct the flow when a query arrives outside business hours.

After configuring, your flow will look similar to this:
