36 Chapter 4 Working with mailboxes
About Group Lists
You can create a maximum of 99 Group Lists on your system. Each Group List can contain a maximum of 300 mailboxes. Before you add Group Lists, prepare a group mailbox member list. This list must contain:
•the Group List name – maximum 16 characters long
•the mailbox numbers to include in the group
After you create a Group List, you can change the mailboxes included in the list, record a new list name, view the Group List, or delete the Group List.
About Sending Group List messages
You can send a Group List message whenever you want to notify a group of people about an event or notice that pertains to them. When a subscriber sends a message to the Group List, the subscriber does not receive the message.
For instructions on how to send a Group List message to a Voice Group List, refer to the CallPilot Reference Guide.
About Group List Numbers
During system installation, a number from 0 to 9 (default 9) is assigned as the Group List leading digit. For example, the default Group List numbers are 901 to 999. If the leading digit is 5, the Group List numbers are 501 to 599. Group List numbers are three digits long.
You can change the Group List leading digit. For more information on changing the Group List leading digit, refer to “Group List leading digit” on page 98.
The Group List number acts like a mailbox number when you leave a message for the mailboxes in the Group List. The table below shows two sample Group Lists.
