Call Handling – Advanced Rules
Advanced Call Handling lets you create specific
additional rules for your number or extension
based on date and/or time of call, or Caller ID, or
the number being called. These rules override
your regular call handling rules for that number.
To create an Advanced Rule
1. Go to Settings > My Extension Settings
> Call Handling & Forwarding, then tap
Advanced.
2. Tap Add Rule.
3. Give your rule a Name, then select the
conditions: Date and/or Time the call
comes in; the Caller ID of the caller;
and/or the Called Number. You can
combine these selections.
4. Tap Next.
5. If you selected Date and/or Time as your
rule condition, now select a Weekly
Schedule, with specific times for each day if
you wish. Or select a Specific Date Range.
6. If you selected Caller ID for this rule, enter
one or more phone numbers, or choose
names from your Contact List, or enter area
codes or other partial numbers.
7. If you selected Called Number, choose the
number(s) to which the rule will be applied.
The choices will be the Main Number, or the
Auto-Receptionist for the Group.
8. Tap Next and choose when to apply the rule:
during Business hours, After Hours, or
Always.
9. Tap Next.
10. Select the action to take when incoming
calls match this rule.
a. Forward Calls: Then set custom
Call Screening, Call Forwarding, or
Messages handling for these calls.
b. Take Messages Only to send callers to
voicemail. You can choose to take
messages or not, and can customize the
voicemail greeting.
c. Play Announcement Only and then end
the call.
d. Unconditional Forwarding, which
immediately forwards the call to a
number you then select, bypassing any
other call handling, including greetings,
call screening, voicemail, and Softphone.
e. You can also set Group Greetings and
Call Handling for this rule, and under
Messages choose a voicemail greeting
and select the extension that will
receive messages generated by use of
this rule.
f. Tap Done.
Because these Rules can be made quite complex
and sophisticated, it is a good idea to test a new
rule to make sure it operates the way you intend.
You can edit, changing details and conditions,
turn the rule on and off, or delete any of these
Rules by tapping Advanced from Call Handling,
then tapping on the named Rule and making
desired changes on the screens that follow.
