FEATURES Issue 1, August 1994 INTER-TEL PRACTICES IVXSOO INSTACLATION % MAINTENANCE 5. DIRECTORIES (AUTOMATED ATTENDANT, CALL ROUTING ANNOUNCEMENT, AND VOICE MAIL) 5.1 There are two types of directories that can be en- abled (or disabled) in the system: Voice Mail and Auto- mated Attendant. 0 The Voice Mail Directory is a list of mailbox sub- scribers, their recorded names, and mailbox num- bers. 0 The Automated Attendant Directory, provided to all Auto Attendant callers, is a list of all mailbox subscribers and extension ID owners and their re- corded names. 5.2 The directories can be selected in the following ways: 0 From the Voice Mail or Automated Attendant main menu: press the q key. l Using a Call Routing Announcement application: press the Digit Translation digit designated for di- rectory access. 0 As a Voice Mail Subscriber: Subscribers can ac- cess the directory whenever they are prompted to en- ter a mailbox number. 5.3 If a directory is disabled or empty because no names are recorded for any of the system’s mailboxes and extension IDS, callers will not hear the prompt that allows access to the directory. However, the caller will be instructed that the selection is invalid and returned to the initial instructions. 5.4 Recorded names are added to the directories dur- ing mailbox or extension ID initialization. If the mail- box or ID is not initialized, the directory will include only the mailbox number or extension ID number. (Group Lists are not included in either type of directory.) 5.5 The caller uses the keypad keys to enter the name. The application then plays the closest matching directo- ry name that corresponds to the digits entered by a caller. Once the name has been played the system will return a menu of options, including the following: Listening to the previous or next name in the direc- tory Listening to additional information (This option is not available if the mailbox or extension ID number has been classified in the database as a “Private” number.) Spelling a new name 0 Changing from a last to first name search mode . :t 0 Accepting the name .? A. LOCATING A NAME Entering A Name 5.6 Callers use a method called Quick Spell. To use Quick Spell, callers press a single digit key on the tele- phone dial pad for each letter or character entered. For example, keypad key H shows ARC, key q shows DEF, etc. To enter JONES, you would press I30000 5 6 6 3 7 . Some charactersare notshownon the keys: for “Q” press 0 7 , for “Z” press @, for punctua- tion marks press the 1 key. 5.7 Alter the digits have been entered, the caller pres- ses q to begin the search. The Automated Attendant application plays the name that most closely matches the digit(s) that were entered. If q is pressed without entering any digits, the caller will hear the first name in the directory. 5.8 If a user presses q at any time while spelling a name, the system will play a helpful prompt instructing the caller how to enter a name. Changing The First/Last Name Search 5.9 Each directory can be programmed to be orga- nized by last name or by first name. Callers accessing a directory receive system voice prompts that ask them to enter the first or last name of the person for whom they wish tc leave a message. Listening To The Next/Previous Name 5.10 After a name has been played, the caller can lis- ten to the previous name in the directory by pressin q . To listen to the next name, the caller can press d 3 . 5.11 The directory lists are circular. That is, when the end of the list is reached, the next name played will be the first name in the directory. Or, if the caller scrolls past the beginning of the list, the “previous” name played will be the last name in the directory. B. ACCEPTING A NAME 5.12 When the caller is using the Voice Mail feature, and accepts a name, the caller is transferred to the corre- sponding mailbox. There the caller will hear either the subscriber’s recorded greeting, recorded directory name, or, if no recording has been made, the “mailbox number XXX is not available” prompt. The caller can then record a message. Page 2-20

REQUESTING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 5.14 After a name is selected from the directory, the caller has the option of requesting additional informa- tion. When requested, mailbox number, extension num- ber, and name are played (if the number is not private and/or unlisted). 5.15 Individual mailboxes and extension IDs can be programmed as “Private” in database programming. A Private number is included in the directory and can be dialed by a caller who knows the number, but the associated mailbox and extension number information are not available to the caller; only the name is played. 5.16 Mailboxes and extension IDs can also be pro- grammed as “‘Unlisted.” That means that the number will not be included in the directory, but can be dialed if the caller knows the extension number.
