Filtering *
Filtering is a function for executives and their secretaries or receptionists. Filtering groups are formed with several executives and several secretaries for this purpose. An incoming call for an executive is initially signaled at the secretary's telephones. If required, it can subsequently be transferred to the executive. The filtering function is a special partner diversion.
The executives activate the filtering function for external or internal or for all calls. In general, the secretaries can switch on or off to control their readiness to receive a call. When filtering is active, a filtered call is signaled at all active secretary's telephones in the filtering group. The connection is established to the receptionist who accepts the call first.
