Configuring Softkey Templates
Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can manage softkeys associated
with applications that are supported by the Cisco Unified IP Phone. Cisco Unified Communications
Manager supports two types of softkey templates: standard and nonstandard. Standard softkey templates
include Standard User, Standard Feature, Standard Assistant, Standard Manager, and Standard Shared
Mode Manager An application that supports softkeys can have one or more standard softkey templates
associated with it. You can modify a standard softkey template by making a copy of it, giving it a new
name, and making updates to that copied softkey template. You can also modify a nonstandard softkey
template.
To configure softkey templates, choose
Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template
from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a softkey template to a phone, use
the Softkey Template field in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone
configuration window. Refer to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
and
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide
for more information.
Note
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G, 7971G-GE, 7970G, 7965G, and 7945G support all the softkeys that
are configurable in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
