Planning is essential in
organizing an AA menu structure
that makes sense. Planning also
helps you to identify needs for
custom prompts.
This simple example, using
sample work forms for each
menu, shows a beginning
structure: a main menu and two
of the four expansions.
When callers are routed to
workgroup extensions, the
workgroups have their own call
handling settings for greetings,
update phrases, rules for sending
to voice mail, and so on.
Timeout (not shown on forms):
after 7 seconds on first level, call
the operator; on any other level,
go to top level by default.
