Pick up a call to a member of a Group via a Dial Plan entry
A Dial Plan entry similar to this example can be created to
allow Users to pick up the longest waiting call ringing for
a User that is a member of a Group. This will pick up any
internal call, DDI or Department call to a member of the
Group.
The name of the Group is entered in the Translate To
field.
For further information on creating Dial Plan entries please refer to Working with Dial Plans section from
page 130.
