Vertical Communications TeleVantage 7.5 manual Setting personal status defaults

Using the Where I Am default

Where I Am specifies the phone that rings when you receive a call. The Where I Am default is your station, unless you are forwarding your calls. In that case, it is your call forwarding number. This setting enables you to temporarily override your call forwarding with a personal status, and then restore it.

Example: You forward your calls to your home phone. You then select the custom personal status Lunch Hour, which changes Where I Am to your cell phone. When you come back from lunch you select the personal status Available (or any other personal status), which restores your Where I Am default. Where I Am returns to being your home phone, retaining your call forwarding.

Setting personal status defaults

There can be only one personal status default of each type (greeting and routing list) at any one time. Use the following procedures to:

QSet a personal status default greeting and routing list

QSet a personal status to use your default greeting and routing list

To designate a greeting or routing list as the personal status default

1.Open the Greetings folder or the Routing Lists folder and double-click the item that you want to be the personal status default.

2.In the dialog box for that item, check Default Personal Status Greeting/Routing List.

3.Click OK.

When you make a greeting active using the telephone commands, that greeting also becomes your personal status default greeting.

To set a personal status to use your defaults

1.Edit the personal status. See “Modifying a personal status” on page 9-6.

2.Under Greeting, Routing List, or Where I Am, select Default. The dropdown list displays the item that is currently the personal status default in parentheses.

When you create a new custom personal status, these preferences are already set to Default. The only reason you would need to change them to Default is if you had previously changed them to use specific items.

3.Click OK.
