8.5.2 Group Phone Directories

For each group of users, a group phone directory is created automatically and filled with the user telephone numbers. You cannot add or remove records manually in this directory. You can just edit appropriate parameters in the Scheme, Subtype, Ring pattern and call forwarding columns. For the group phone directory refer to the Phone directories – Group phone directories menu.

In the context menu to the right you can use the following options:

  • Add – add a row to a selected phone directory.
  • Delete – remove a selected row from a selected phone directory.
  • Delete all – remove all rows of a selected phone directory.
  • Find (F3) – search a selected phone directory for a record. Enter complete initial words with respect to Lower/Upper Case.
  • Find next (F5) – enable repeated searching of the string that has been entered in the Find (F3) function.
  • Export – export the current phone directory into an xml or csv file.

The phone directory table records are divided into six columns with the following meanings:

  • Nickname – set the name to be used for easier phone directory searching.
  • Name – set the name of the extension for which the record has been created. The name will be displayed on your phone.
  • Scheme – define whether the entered string represents the Number or URI.
  • Prefix – set the access prefix defined in the  Global data – Global parameters  menu. This prefix automatically precedes the user number in dialling from a phone directory.
  • Number/URI – define the phone number (or URI) to be entered in a format corresponding to the selected subtype.
  • Ring pattern – assign different ring patterns to each record of the phone directory. The ring tone will be used if the calling party number of the incoming call matches the phone directory record. If this ring pattern is not set, the default pattern for the final destination will be used.

The last six columns of this tab are used for call forwarding settings for each contact. One pair of columns is intended for each forwarding type. In the first column of each pair set the destination type for forwarding and in the other set a destination of the selected type. This forwarding mode has a higher priority than the mode selected in the Forwarding and Forwarding-exceptions tabs!
