Hi Alan,

You can set up the user(s) to use the Greetings Administrator;

Setting Up the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator

To set up the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator, do the following tasks:

1. Set up a phone number so that you or another user can call the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator. For information on how to set up the phone number, see the documentation for your phone system.

Alternatively, you can set a one-key dialing option from the Opening Greeting that takes callers to the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator. Do the "To Set Up a One-Key Dialing Option From the Opening Greeting for Accessing the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator" procedure. (If you choose this option, skip Task 2.)

2. If applicable, add a routing rule to forward calls to the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator from the phone number that you set up in Task 1. Do the "To Add a Routing Rule to Forward Calls to the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator" procedure.

3. Assign a unique extension to each call handler that you want to access by using the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator. Do the "To Assign a Unique Extension to a Call Handler" procedure.

4. As needed, tell call handler owners how to use the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator. For an overview and procedure, see the "Using the Cisco Unity Greetings Administrator to Record or Rerecord Call Handler Greetings" section.

Step 1 In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, expand Call Management, then click System Call Handlers.

Step 2 On the Search Call Handler page, in the Search Results table, click the Opening Greeting call handler.

Step 3 On the Edit Call Handler Basics page, on the Edit menu, click Caller Input.

Step 4 On the Caller Input page, in the Caller Input Keys table, click the applicable phone keypad key.

Step 5 On the Edit Caller Input page for the key that you selected, check the Ignore Additional Input (Locked) check box, if applicable.

Make sure that you did not choose a phone keypad key in Step 4 that represents the first digit of the extensions on your phone system. If you lock that key, callers are not able to dial a user extension from the opening greeting.

Step 6 Click Conversation, and then click Greetings Administrator in the list.

Step 7 Click Save.
