Available settings
Follow calendar
When enabled, this feature synchronise your availability status in Telia Smart Connect with your calendar. If you have a meeting or appointment marked in your calendar, the system will automatically set your status as unavailable.
Always treat mobile calls as available
With this toggle enabled, calls towards a user’s mobile number will always follow the call settings for status ‘Available’. Calls to a user’s fixed number will not be affected and will follow the call settings for the status the user is currently in.
Availability status
This status setting allows you to manually indicate your current availability. You can choose from various options such as “Meeting,” “Lunch,” “Vacation,” “Busy,” “Gone” or “Gone for the day.” Selecting “Available” means you are present and ready to communicate, whereas the other statuses block calls and inform your colleagues of specific conditions that might affect your ability to respond or take calls.
Message
Add a custom message to your availability that is visible to others via the company directory.
Incoming calls
Set up what should happen for incoming calls for each of your availabilities. Add redirects, announcements for calls depending if you are free or busy in a call.
Connect all direct calls to my phone first
Toggle if you want the call to arrive on your phone before the redirect happens.
Announcement
Spoken absence where callers will be automatically notified that you are busy and for how long you are busy before your phone starts ringing or the call is forwarded. This is based on the active availability and expiry time.
Audio message
Record a personal audio message. The audio message can be played before your phone starts ringing or the call is forwarded.
My answering service
When using my answering service, you can give callers the choice between being connected to voicemail, the switchboard or a colleague. Here you choose which queues to use for switchboard and colleagues.
Reset to company default
The changes to make to your own profile will override any default settings set by the admin in you switchboard solution. By pressing the “reset” button, you will reset your settings to the company default, configured by your admin.
