Spelled Names or Numbered Names

Indicate whether the message groups on the system should begin with three letters or three numbers. If message group names begin with numbers, also indicate the System ID subscribers press before leaving group messages.

The special System ID for numbered groups must be unique. The number should be short (two or three digits), to speed the flow of the conversation (the system prompts a subscriber for the System ID each time a subscriber leaves a message). Remember that the ID you choose prevents you from using a range of other System IDs. For example, using 14 for the special System ID for numbered groups makes the ranges 140~149 and 1400~1499 unavailable.

Group Name or Number

Indicate the name or 3-digit number of the message group. Remember that subscribers use the message group name or number to leave messages for the group.

For sites using spelled-name groups, carefully consider the names you give open groups. Subscribers use the first three letters of the group name to send messages to it, so the name you choose should be easy to remember. For example, it would be easier to remember that entering ALL sends a message to a group containing all staff than to remember to enter EMP for the same group that was named employees.

For sites using numbered groups, a 3-digit group number is not a System ￿ID, so it does not have to be unique.

You should not use your system wildcard character (usually 1 or 0) in the group number.

You can have more than one message group with the same spelled name or group number. If this occurs, subscribers choose the correct group by listening to the group recorded name, just as they do when choosing between subscribers with the same last name.

Group Owner

Enter the name of the subscriber that owns this group. Only the owner of the group can change the group by telephone.

Deliver message only to the first person to hear it?

Select whether the group has dispatch or broadcast distribution. Most groups have broadcast distribution.
