Hi

Is it possible for assistant to view line status on console (for defined lines), for users that are NOT configured as managers?

thx

Hi Darijo,

You can only view the Line Status for Managers, have a look;

Tip** You can monitor but cannot handle calls that appear in the My Managers panel of the console. These are calls that you have already redirected to your manager, or calls that your manager has placed or received directly.

Call Details

Call details consist of the manager's line number, the call duration, and the caller ID:

Line-The actual extension number for the manager's primary phone line; a phone icon indicates the line state.

Call duration-The real-time duration of an active call that was placed or received by the manager. The timer starts as soon as a call is initiated (outgoing) or received (incoming). The timer stops when the call is dropped or transferred.

Caller ID-The name (if available) and number of the person to whom the manager has placed a call, or from whom the manager has received a call. Assistant console will display forwarded call information when the information is available.

From this good IPMA doc;

Hope this helps!

thx Rob, but I was hoping that there is a function that missed me :), but seems there is not...

Then this question, how many managers can one assistant handle?

(yes, you quess my point, add say 10-15 managers to same asisstant, pass all calls directly to managers, and lines are watched by one console)

Hi Darijo,

One assistant could have up to 33 Manager Lines.

"Depending on the number of managers assigned to you, you will see one to 33 lines in the "Manager lines" section of the My Calls panel."

From the doc I sent you

Hope this helps!
