Self Memo / Reminder
Easily and quickly leave a reminder in your own mailbox. This virtual notepad is available
wherever there is a phone, and can be set for immediate or future delivery. This makes them useful for keeping track
of your entire workload to schedule or serve as reminders for meetings.
Self Memo / Reminder Categories
If allowed by the system administrator a subscriber may designate the
reminders they create as either a Commitment, Follow Up or Task. The individual meaning of these labels may vary
from person to person, their intent is to provide a way of separating reminders into different categories. These cate-
gories can be reviewed in the Subscriber Workload Manager
Speed Control
The SVMi-8 supports two message playback speeds. This allows you to hear the message in a con-
venient manner. You can press '99' during message playback to toggle between these two speeds.
Subscriber Workload Manager
This allows a subscriber to group reminders by a Commitment, Follow Up or Task
in order to better organize the workload.
Until… Scheduling
The Until… Scheduling method is an easy way to schedule the termination of an SVMi-8 serv-
ice relative to the time the service is set active. Most of the services in the SVMi-8 give subscribers greater control
over their communications by providing Until… Scheduling. The subscriber just sets a time for the service to termi-
nate, concurrent with activating it, and does not have to worry about remembering to deactivate the service in the
future. The Until… Scheduling options are, a number of hour (1 - 9), the end of the current business day, the
beginning of the next business day, a day of the coming week, Monday through Sunday, a specific date, hour and
minute, or until further notice.
Urgent Messages
Messages left by and for subscribers may be flagged as Urgent. Urgent messages are played first
and notification may be configured to only alert you for these urgent messages.
Volume Control
The SVMi-8 supports two message playback volumes. This allows you to hear the message in a
convenient manner. You can press '77' during message playback to toggle between these two volume levels.
ADMINISTRATION FEATURES
Activity Display
While the SVMi-8 system is running, a connected administration terminal will show useful statis-
tics about the system. Number of calls, average calls per week, number of times all ports were busy, total messages
and space available.
Administrators Mailbox
The designated system administrator can perform many routine activities from their mail-
box by using the System Administration Special Menu. These activities include adding and removing mailboxes,
changing prompts and switching modes of operation.
Auto Delete Subscribers
Unused subscribers are automatically deleted after a programmable period of disuse. This
prevents unauthorised users from 'high-jacking' unused mailboxes.
Automatic Setup
When the SVMi-8 is first installed a range of mailboxes matching the system’s database is creat-
ed. This reduces setup time.
Back Up And Restore
The customer database can be saved and restored at a later date. This is useful in a number
of maintenance scenarios. Additional hardware is necessary to accomplish this.
Default Operation
The SVMi-8 is designed to be in operation as soon as it is installed.
