8.5.3 Group Phone Directories (Generated)

For each group of users, a dedicated phone directory is generated and filled with the users or extensions as defined in the Generate phone directories from users parameter in theGlobal Data – Global parameters menu. Every change in the name, number, scheme or subtype is automatically made in the generated phone directory too. For group phone directories refer to the Users – Phone directories – Group phone directories (Generated) menu.

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

  • Find (F3) – search a selected phone directory for a record. Enter complete initial words respecting the lower and upper cases.
  • 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 the xml or csv file. 

The phone directory table recorda are divided into twelve 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. This 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.
