CHAPTER 9. USING PERSONAL STATUSES 9-13
Using the Where I Am default
Where I Am specifies the phone that rings when you receive a call. The Where I Am default is
your station, unless you are forwarding your calls. In that case, it is your call forwarding number.
This setting enables you to temporarily override your call forwarding with a personal status, and
then restore it.
Example: You forward your calls to your home phone. You then select the custom personal
status Lunch Hour, which changes
Where I Am to your cell phone. When you come back from
lunch you select the personal status Available (or any other personal status), which restores your
Where I Am default. Where I Am returns to being your home phone, retaining your call
forwarding.
Setting personal status defaults
There can be only one personal status default of each type (greeting and routing list) at any one
time. Use the following procedures to:
Q Set a personal status default greeting and routing list
Q Set a personal status to use your default greeting and routing list
To designate a greeting or routing list as the personal status default
1. Open the Greetings folder or the Routing Lists folder and double-click the item that
you want to be the personal status default.
2. In the dialog box for that item, check Default Personal Status Greeting/Routing List.
3. Click OK.
When you make a greeting active using the telephone commands, that greeting also becomes
your personal status default greeting.
To set a personal status to use your defaults
1. Edit the personal status. See “Modifying a personal status” on page 9-6.
2. Under Greeting, Routing List, or Where I Am, select Default. The dropdown list
displays the item that is currently the personal status default in parentheses.
When you create a new custom personal status, these preferences are already set to
Default. The only reason you would need to change them to Default is if you had
previously changed them to use specific items.
3. Click OK.
