Button Programming Actions

Last Updated : Mar 15, 2022 |

The following sections provide details for each of the button actions supported by system. Note that this does not include buttons on phones on a system running in Partner Edition mode.

For each, the following details are listed:

  • Action - Indicates the selection path to the action from within the list of actions displayed in Manager.

  • Action Data - Indicates the type of data required by the action. For some actions no data is required while for others action data may be optional. The option to enter the data after pressing the button is not available for all phones, see Interactive Button Menus.

  • Default Label - This is the default text label displayed on phones which provide a display area next to programmable buttons. Alternate labels can be specified in the system configuration or entered by the phone user (refer to the telephone user guide). Note that for buttons with action data set, the action data may also be displayed as part of the default label. Depending on the display capacity of the particular phone, either a short or long label is displayed.

  • Toggles - Indicates whether the action toggles between two states, typically on or off.

  • Status Indication - Indicates whether the button provides status indication relevant to the feature if the button has status lamps or display. If the Status Indication is listed as Required it indicates that the button action is only supported on programmable buttons that can provide status indication.

  • User Admin - This item indicates that users with a Self-Administer button can assign the action to other buttons themselves.

  • Phone Support - This is only a general indication of support or otherwise of an action by phones within particular series. On phones with 3 or less programmable buttons those button can only be used for the Call Appearance action. In addition some actions are only supported on phones where the programmable buttons provide status indication and or a display for data entry once the feature is invoked.
