Configuring Softkey Templates

Using Cisco Unified CM Administration, you can associate up to 18 softkeys with applications that are supported by the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6921, 6941, and 6961. Cisco Unified CM support the Standard User and Standard Feature softkey template.

An application that supports softkeys can have one or more standard softkey templates associated with it. You can modify a standard softkey template by making a copy of it, giving it a new name, and making updates to that copied softkey template. You can also modify a nonstandard softkey template.

To configure softkey templates, select Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template from

Cisco Unified CM Administration. To assign a softkey template to a phone, use the Softkey Template field in the Cisco Unified CM Administration Phone Configuration page. Refer to the in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Softkey Template Configuration and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide, Softkey Template.

The Cisco Unified IP Phones 6921, 6941, 6945, and 6961 do not support all the softkeys that are configurable in Softkey Template Configuration on Cisco Unified CM Administration. Table 5-2lists the features, softkeys that can be configured on a softkey template, and note whether it is supported on the Cisco Unified IP Phones 6921, 6941, 6945, and 6961.

Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows you to configure any softkey in a softkey template, but unsupported softkeys do not display on the phone.
