CHAPTER 8. USING PERSONAL STATUS 8-13
BETA DOCUMENT - PRELIMINARY & CONFIDENTIAL
You can change which greeting and which routing list are your personal status
defaults at any time. See “Setting personal status defaults” on page 8-13.
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
To designate a greeting or routing list as the personal status default
1. Open the Greetings view or the Routing Lists view 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.
There can be only one personal status default of each type at any one time.
Note: When you change your active greeting by using the telephone
commands, it also changes 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 8-7.
2. Under Greeting, Routing List, or Where I Am, select Default. The
drop-down 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.
