Activate or Deactivate Call Filtering as an Executive Assistant
Access the Call filter screen to activate or deactivate call filtering. The screen shows a list of executives
associated with all the assistant extensions on the phone together with the call filtering status (On or Off).
When call filtering is on for an executive, you and other assistants associated with the executive receive the
executive's incoming calls according to the criteria configured by your administrator.
When the executive or another assistant answers a call, you no longer see the call on your extension.
Activating or deactivating call filtering for an executive activates or deactivates the setting for all the assistants
in the executive’s pool.
