Maintaining employee information

When Attendant Console is installed, employee information is provided by the Business Communications Manager base unit. This information appears in the Directory list box in the bottom center of the Attendant Console window.

The Directory list box has four tabs that display lists of employees. They are the Full, BLF (Busy Lamp Field), Assigned and Selected tabs. For further information, refer to “The Directory options are tabbed directories that show views of the extensions on the Business Communications Manager 2.5 telephone system. You can use the Directory options to search and edit extension and employee information.” on page 41.

Using the Directory list

Information in the Directory list appears in ascending order (1 to 9 or A to Z). Sorting is based on the contents of one column at a time. If there are different forms of information in the same columns, priority is given in the following order: no information entered (blank), numeric, then alphabetic. For example, if you sort a Name column that contains both names and extension numbers, the extension numbers appear before the names.

You can sort Directory information by column by clicking any column heading. For example, to sort the directory by extension, click the Ext column heading. The listing appears with the extensions in numerical order.

To sort a column of information in the Directory

1Click the tab you want to sort, either Full, Selected or Assigned.

Information in the BLF tab view appears in the same order you select for Full view.

2Click the column heading you want to sort, either Name, Ext, Notes or Department.
