Planning Responsibilities
Planning Responsibilities
As part of the planning process for the mail system, the customer should identify
a person in the company to act as System Administrator. The System
Administrator is the person who is responsible for the mail system.
The System Administrator should work with the salesperson or systems
consultant to fill out the PARTNER MAIL Planning Forms. The System
Administrator should also participate in the training for the system. The System
Administrator can then make changes to the system after installation, answer
questions for mail system users, and train new users.
The same person may function as System Manager for the communications
system and System Administrator for the mail system, or the roles may be
served by two different people.
When to Fill Out the Forms
The Planning Forms must be filled out before the mail system is installed. These
forms are required by the person who installs and programs the system.
After installation, the System Administrator should use the forms to record
changes, so there is an ongoing record of the programming for the mail system.
How to Fill Out the Forms
Before you begin to fill out the mail system Planning Forms, you need a
complete, updated copy of the communications system Planning Forms.
For each mail system Planning Form, there is a page or more of descriptive
information to help you understand each feature and decide between the
available options. In most cases, instructions for filling out the form are provided
on the form itself.
Read through the entire set of forms before you attempt to fill them out. If you
don’t understand a feature or if you don’t have enough information to decide
between available options, consult Chapter 5 of PARTNER MAIL Voice
Messaging System Release 3 Planning, Installation, and Use.
Then, fill out the forms one at a time in order, rereading the descriptive
information as needed.
