    NOTE: When this box is unchecked, the status of all the assigned assistants is reset to Opt-in.

  2. Search for assistants. To locate a specific user, enter search criteria in the search fields and click Search. To view all users, leave the search fields blank and click Search. Users that satisfy your criteria appear in the Available Assistants column.

  4. Order your selected assistants. In the Assigned Assistants column, select an assistant and use the Move Up and Move Down buttons until you place the assistant at the desired position. Repeat for other assistants until you are satisfied with the order. The system distributes your calls to assistants in this order when using the sequential alerting mode.
