Configuring Softkey Templates

Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can manage softkeys associated with applications that are supported by the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports two types of softkey templates: standard and nonstandard. Standard softkey templates include Standard User, Standard Feature, Standard Assistant, Standard Manager, and Standard Shared Mode Manager. 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, choose Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template from

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a softkey template to a phone, use the Softkey Template field in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone Configuration page. See Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information.

Note The Cisco Unified IP Phones support all the softkeys that are configurable in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
