Covering Calls and Having Calls Covered 4
The Feature Finder in Table 4–2 covers features that users and Direct-Line
Console (DLC) operators may need when they are either covering calls for others
or having their calls handled by others. When there is no voice mail system,
operators cover calls more than anyone else, and many of these features apply to
them. Operator-only features are described in a later section.
As explained later in this chapter, you do not have to use the features below for
covering calls. Shared lines (personal, prime, or SA) offer another method where
people working closely together can join or cover one another’s calls.
Even though many of these features can be programmed by users at their own
telephones, it is important that coverage be planned centrally, so that groups and
operators can be assigned to provide coverage as needed. (Users cannot assign
operators and groups to cover calls.)
NOTE:
In Release 6.0 and later systems, the Centrex Transfer via Remote Call
Forwarding feature allows you to forward Centrex calls on the same
Centrex line on which they arrived. For details, see
“Covering Calls” on
page 4–34 .
