Overview
Call Delegation (Boss-Secretary) feature provides an easy way for Administrators (Managers/Bosses) to assign Delegates (Assistants/Secretaries) to handle calls on their behalf.
It supports the following scenarios:
- Secretary makes outgoing calls on behalf of the Boss.
- Secretary answers incoming calls on behalf of the Boss.
- Secretary can transfer calls back to the Boss.
Restriction
- Only users within the Organization can be added to the Delegation List.
- Any extensions that are the delegates of other users won't have the Delegation settings activated.
- Any extensions in the Call group won't have the Delegation settings activated.
- A user cannot delegate or be delegated when being in a Call Group.
- In the case of Delegation List:
- If any of the extensions miss the call, the system will not trigger its own Unanswered or Busy Flow and the call will be simply dropped.
