Managing Distribution Groups
Voice messaging distribution groups can be created as either personal or corporate
groups. Up to 20 personal groups can be created by individuals for their own use
while up to 70 corporate groups can be created.
Corporate (customer) distribution lists are created by an administrator or a user
with access to a customer’s main number voice mail box and are available for use
by all of a customer’s users. By default, corporate group number 10 in each
customer partition is named “Everyone”, includes all mailboxes within a company
and is available to all users. The “Everyone” group is updated whenever a mailbox
assigned to the customer partition is added or deleted.
The following options are available when you access the distribution groups menu
item:
• List all distribution groups
• Create a group
• Edit a group
• Delete a group
• Return to the main menu
