Phone Book

Use the Phone Book to search your system’s telephone directory
for people and extensions. You can search by entering a person’s
name, an extension number, a department, or a location.
Searching by department is useful when a caller requests to
speak to “someone in Sales” rather than a specific person. A
location could be a conference room, the lobby of your building,
or other place that has a phone. You can also make a call from
the Phone Book.

Questions about Phone Book

What does the icon mean?

When it appears next to an extension, it means that the
extension is designated as private. Attendants see the
number of the extension on their screens; other extension
users see only the user’s name (if available) on their display.

In the Source and Destination areas, a private extension appears
with a ‘p’ before the extension number—for example, p2030.
