Destination-based Call Display

Description

In some retail situations, several individuals may be assigned to various hunt groups, each of which represents a different department – Electrical, Plumbing, Lighting, and so on. When using Destination-based Call Display, the destination name or number (for example, Plumbing) appears on the display of the ringing phone.

Regardless of who answers the call, or which department the call is answered from, service personnel can respond appropriately to the caller. For example, a call coming into the Electrical Department may be forwarded or rerouted to another part of the enterprise because all lines in the Electrical department are busy. Someone in the Parts department can still answer the call appropriately: "Good morning, Electrical Department. How may I help you?"

If a call comes into the wrong department, service personnel can transfer the call to the correct department, and the transferred-to hunt group name is displayed.

After a call has been answered, the information displayed is determined by the settings of the Class of Service option "After Answer Display Time."
