Double-clicking calls | Vertical Communications TeleVantage 7.5

Double-clicking calls

Double-clicking in the Call Monitor folder has the following effects:

QDouble-clicking an active call puts it on hold.

QDouble-clicking any other type of call takes the call (connects you to the caller). This includes incoming calls, calls on hold, parked calls, and calls for which you are screening a message.

Commands while a call is ringing ___________________________

While calls are ringing at your phone, the Call Monitor folder displays “Incoming Call.” If TeleVantage can identify the caller, the item in the Call Monitor folder also displays the caller’s phone number and name, which enables you to screen your calls. (See “Teaching TeleVantage to recognize your contacts” on page 16-7.) While calls are ringing, you can perform the following actions:

QTake the call

QSend the call to voicemail

Q“Grab and hold” the call—put it on hold without talking to the caller first

QTransfer the call without talking to the caller first

Taking the call

If you are already on another call, select the incoming call and choose Actions > Take Call. Your current call is put on hold. You can easily move among multiple calls by choosing Take Call again.

When you use Take Call in the Call Monitor folder, call announcing is not used. However, you can play the caller’s name over your speakers by choosing Actions > Announce Caller. To have incoming callers’ names played over your speakers automatically, see “Other options for incoming calls” on page 11-18.

Sending the call to voicemail

Select the call, and then choose Actions > Take Message. The call is sent to your voicemail.

Note: Call center agents cannot perform this command on an incoming queue call.

Screening a voice message as it is being left

You can listen to a voice message as the caller is leaving it and pick up the call if needed. To do so:

1.Select the call while it is ringing or while the caller is leaving a message.

2.Choose Actions > Screen Message.
