Custom Line Filters
Custom Line Filters enable you to reduce alert activity by filtering it to high-priority lines by allowing you
to set the alerting call notification priority on a subset of lines covered by an alert filter. The custom filter
generates either traditional pop-up alerts or actionable alerts for incoming calls on the selected lines. For each
filter, only the subset of lines under coverage will generate an alert. If a filter is turned off, lines under its
coverage will not show alert notifications.
If this feature has been configured, there are three, selectable, filter types available to you:
•
All Calls (on all lines)
•
Daily schedule
•
Custom user
The administrator configures the default line filter, which is visible to you as the Daily schedule filter. Even
if the administrator has not configured the default filter, the all calls filter and custom filter options are available
to you. If you have not created any custom filters all provisioned lines are covered by the default line filter if
it exists, or all calls if it does not.
You cannot edit either the All Calls filter or the Daily schedule filter, but you can use the Daily schedule filter
as a template for a new, custom filter by duplicating and then editing the duplicate filter.
You save the custom filters directly to your phone so that you can quickly select and change coverage. You
can define a maximum of 20 custom filters, but only one filter may be active at a time.
If both the Custom Line Filters and the Actionable Incoming Call Alert features are enabled, actionable
call alerts apply only to the lines that are covered by filters.
