Call States in the Receptionist Client
The following table lists the possible call states and actions that can be performed in each state.
Use the Receptionist Client to Answer Calls in Queues
With the Queued Calls pane, you can manage and monitor calls in up to five call center queues.
Record Calls in the Receptionist Client
You can record calls manually or have the system automatically record your calls. When a call is being recorded, a Recording message appears on the line for the call.
Manage Conference Calls in the Receptionist Client
You manage your conferences in the Call Console: you use the top area of the Call Console to establish a conference and add participants to it, and you use the Conference Call panel to manage or end an active conference.
Use the Receptionist Client to Barge In on a Call
