AT&T 3 manual Programming Playing a Main Menu Prompt or Definition, Recommendation

Main Menus (Automated Attendant)

Both the Day and the Night Main Menus must be programmed, even if they are identical.

RECOMMENDATION:

Although you can create up to 99 menus with up to nine options on each menu, it is recommended that you limit the number of menu levels to three and the number of options on each menu to five so as not to confuse callers. Also, remind callers from each menu that they can get assistance by dialing [ 0 ].

If you delete a Bulletin Board mailbox, Announcement, or Submenu that is assigned as a Selector Code transfer destination on a Main Menu, the Selector Code is deleted automatically from the menu definition. However, you must re-record all menu prompts that refer to the item that is deleted.

If you delete an extension, Calling Group, Hunt Group, Bulletin Board, Guest mailbox, or Automated Attendant, you may need to re-record any menu prompt that refers to the item that is deleted.

■If you change the Language mode (bilingual or monolingual) or the languages administered, you may need to re-record the Main Menu prompts.

■Submenus (Automated Attendant) must be created before they can be assigned to a Main Menu.
