calling party. For example, if the incoming call is from 51234, but the corporate directory uses 10-digit
numbers, you can create a rule to convert 51234 to 5555551234. This does not affect the number dialed;
it only provides Personal Assistant with a valid number for looking up the user in the corporate directory.
Personal Assistant applies the directory lookup rules only to incoming calls that are internal to the
corporate phone network. A rule is applied to an incoming call only if all conditions are met.
You configure directory lookup rules by filling in the applicable fields, and clicking Add Rule.
You can create a rule that distinguishes between phone numbers based on the initial string of digits, on
the length of the number, or both. You can remove numbers from the front of the dialed number, add
numbers to the front, or both.
Each field is optional, but you must at least fill in either the Number of Prefix Digits to Remove field or
the New Prefix field in order for the rule to be applied.
The list of directory lookup rules is an ordered list of the rules you have created. Personal Assistant
evaluates the rules from top to bottom, processing only the first rule that applies to the incoming call.
You can also modify, rearrange, or delete rules, as follows:
• To modify a rule, change the rule and click Update.
• To change the priority of a rule, use the up and down arrows until the rule is correctly positioned.
For Personal Assistant version 1.4(5) and later, you can also enter the applicable value in the New
Priority field, and click Update on the line with the rule to move the rule within the list.
• To remove a rule, click the Delete icon.

Field Considerations
Phone Number Prefix Enter one or more digits at the beginning of the number that the user dials.
For example, if you enter 1, 1500, or 1500555, each would match the dialed number
1-500-555-6262.
Number of Digits Enter the total number of digits in the phone number that the user dials.
For example, if the number is 9-1-500-555-6262, enter the number 12.
Number of Prefix Digits to
Remove
Enter the number of digits Personal Assistant will delete from the front of the dialed number.
For example, if you enter 4, and the dialed number is 1-500-555-6262, Personal Assistant
removes 1500, and leaves 555-6262.
New Prefix Enter the string of digits Personal Assistant will add to the front of the dialed number, after
removing the specified number of digits.
For example, you can add an area code and initial digits to a 5-digit extension, turning 56565
into 5555556565. Personal Assistant uses the resulting number to look up the calling party
in the corporate directory.
Priority
(Personal Assistant 1.4(5) and
later only)
Enter the position for the rule in the list of rules.
If you do not specify a priority, the rule will be placed at the bottom of the list.
