Creating a Default Company
All Users, Department, Contacts etc that do not belong to a specific Company are global Users, global
Departments and so on. If you wish to configure features available via a Company for the global entries,
such as the Park Timeout, call recording etc, create a Company called Default and configure the feature
required. Do not add the global Users, global Departments etc to this Company.
Routing calls from a
Companies’
Contact to a specific User or Department
Calls from a particular Contact may need to be handled by a specific User or Department, the maximiser
can route calls directly rather than via the receptionist first, for example. However, if the Contact belongs
to a Company the system needs to know which Company’s list of Contacts to search.
This feature can be
configured as follows:
Firstly, determine to whom the Contact will be directed:
1
Open the relevant Contact
2
In the Direct Route To field enter the extension number, User or Department Name to which a call
is to be routed.
3
Select Update or Apply when ready.
Secondly, all the relevant DDI Plan entries containing the
telephone numbers that the Contact may use must be
routed to the required Company so that the system knows
which Company’s list of Contacts to search. The Translate
To field must contain the Company name in square
brackets followed by the extension number, User or
Department Name to which a call will be normally routed,
as per this example.
If the Contact to be routed is contained within the global
Contacts list do not enter a Company Name in the square
brackets, as per this example.
Please refer to the Working with DDI Plans section from
page 195 for further information on creating new DDI Plan
entries.
Creating an Administrator for a Company

within the required Administrator’s configura
tion form select the Company field and select the required
Company from the Select Company list.
