Selecting how a call rule handles a call

Calls are normally handled with your active settings, such as your standard greeting and routing list. Call rules override one or more of these settings to handle calls in different ways.

Under Handle calls using the following settings, check any combination of the following options. Note that you must check at least one option, or your call rule will do nothing.

QGreeting. Select a greeting. Callers handled by the call rule will hear that greeting if they reach your voicemail.

QRouting List. Select a routing list. Calls handled by the call rule will follow that routing list.

QTaking calls. Select whether or not calls handled by the call rule ring your phone.

If set to Yes, incoming calls follow your active routing list, which usually includes ringing your phone. If set to No, incoming calls are sent directly to the final action on your active routing list, which by default is your voicemail. Note that a setting of Yes overrides the personal status Do Not Disturb.

QPersonal Status. Select a personal status. Calls handled by the call rule will be handled as if that personal status were in effect. Note that the call rule’s own settings for greeting, routing list, and whether you are taking calls override the preferences in the personal status.

You can click the buttons next to Personal Status, Greeting, and Routing List to create a new item of each type. Press ALT and click a button to edit the currently selected item.
