Last Updated : Jan 27, 2021 |

About this task

Use this procedure to add a Workplace contact as a feature button to the Button Module screen. You can then activate speed dial for that contact from the Button Module screen and avoid searching for that frequently dialed contact.

Note:

You cannot add a local contact or an enterprise searched contact as a feature button to the Button Module screen.

Before you begin

  • Your administrator must configure Button Module for your extension.

  • You must ensure that the Button Module screen is not full.

  • You must ensure that the contact number is valid.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Contacts screen.
  2. Locate the contact to activate speed dial.
  3. Do one of the following:

    • Hover the cursor over the contact, and click More > Add to Button Module.

      Avaya Workplace Client adds the selected Contact Name button with the default number to the Button Module screen.

    • Double-click the contact, and click Add to Button Module.

      • If the contact has only one number, Avaya Workplace Client adds the selected Contact Name button to the Button Module screen.

      • If the contact includes more than one number, Avaya Workplace Client displays a dialog to choose the contact number.

  4. Optional On the Add to Button Module dialog box, do the following:
    1. Click a contact number.
    2. Click OK.

      Avaya Workplace Client adds the selected Contact Name button to the Button Module screen.

    To add multiple contact feature buttons to the Button Module screen for alternate numbers, repeat this step.

  5. To dial the contact, click the Contact Name button.

    Avaya Workplace Client dials the contact phone number.
