Directory Groups
A directory group lists subscribers with a common characteristic, such as
a department, location or schedule. Each directory group on the system
has a Groups Screen page. It is easy to dis t ing uish between the pages for
message groups and the pages for director y groups; the word
DIRECTORY appears in all capital letters on the right side of the page.
Refer to Figure 3-2 A Directory Group.
Even though the directory group pa ges are included in the Groups Scree n,
directory groups are different from mes s age groups in these ways:
A message group lets you leave the same message for several
people at once. You cannot leave a message for a directory group.
Every directory group is owned by the system. Note that the upper
right part of the screen is i dentified by: DIRECTORY group of
•SYSTEM•.
A directory group can have its own System ID in the Directory ID
field. Callers press this ID to a ccess the directory group. Ass ig ning a
System ID to a directory g roup is optional. While most sites allow
callers to select a directory group from a directory menu (b y pressing
a single digit instead of a System ID), you can also route callers to a
directory group using the GotoID field on a transaction box,
interview box, Operator Box, P ublic Interview Bo x, or even from a
subscriber mailbox.
The list of members under Member name also includes the member
recorded name (in the Voice column to t he rig ht of M em ber na me),
and Extension # ID (in the column labeled Ext # ID). Each subscriber
recorded name and Extens ion # ID are add ed automatically, when
you add the subscriber to the directory gro up.
