Duplicate Department Names and Extension Numbers
It is essential that duplicate Department Names and Extension Numbers are not used on a system. To
ensure that duplicates have not been entered, within Manager Assist, select System Utilities and then
Sorted. This program will highlight entries where an identical name or extension number exists.
Changing the extension numbers for multiple Departments
When the extension number for more than one Department is to be changed the Users (Renumber)
feature can be used as follows:
1
In Manager, select Users (Renumber)
2
In the New Number Base field enter the first number of the new range to be used, for example, if
you wish to renumber the extensions from 6001 to 6050 enter 6001.
3
In the Target Users field enter the extension numbers to be changed. Enter either a comma
between each extension number or use a hyphen to indicate a range of extensions. For example:
8001,8003,8009,8015 etc or 8001-8010.
4
Select Renumber
5
The extension numbers for the selected Departments will be changed, for example, 8001 will
become 6001, and the next extension will become 6002 and so on.
Setting Departmental functionality for multiple Departments
You may wish to turn on a particular feature or multiple features for more than one Department, rather
than turn on these feature in each Department’s
configuration form you can perform this task quickly via
the Dept (Bulk) feature in Manager.
