Custom soft keys can be configured to precede the standard soft keys that are still displayed. The order of the custom soft keys follows the configuration order. The standard soft keys are shifted to the right and any empty spaces are removed.

If the custom soft keys are configured to not precede the standard soft keys, then the standard soft keys do not move. The order of the custom soft keys— starting from the leftmost empty space—follows the empty spaces. Any extra custom soft keys that are left after all empty spaces are used are appended at the end.

Up to 10 soft keys can be configured. Any additional soft keys are ignored. If more soft keys are defined than fit on the graphic display at one time, a More soft key is displayed followed by the remainder of the soft keys that you have defined.

This capability applies to the SoundPoint IP 301, 320, 330, 430, 501, 550, 560, 601, 650, and 670phones. This capability is linked to the Enhanced Feature Key feature (refer to Enhanced Feature Keys on page 4-40.)
