Reports	You can generate reports that contain information such as the number
	of incoming calls and who answers the calls. This information shows
	the calling trends in the business and the performance of the
	telephone system.

Ability to handle growth	A one-time purchase of Attendant Console is often all that is needed. If
	you want to add more attendant positions as the company grows,
	Attendant Console is easily expandable.

Choice of Attendant types

You can set up each computer to handle calls either as a main attendant, or an overflow, backup or assistant attendant. Each attendant type gives you flexibility in responding to calls. This ensures that calls can be handled in a professional and prompt manner. For detailed information about attendant setups, refer to “Types of attendant setups” on page 12.
