The Find Me List (FML) allows you to define how all incoming calls are routed or forwarded to you. Smart Find Me Lists allow you to create a unique Find Me List for a designated contact, colleague (other user extensions) or for department calls.
To set up a Smart Find Me List:
- Log into Aptela
- Locate the Find Me List section of your User Dashboard and click Options
- Smart Lists use the phones listed in your default Find Me List.
- Smart Lists also follow the active/inactive status of phones in your default Find Me List.
- Select Manage Smart Lists
- Click the button Add a Smart List
- Choose the type of user for this smart list:
- A User - colleague
- A Department
- A Contact - be sure the contact contains all of the phone numbers that this person may call you from
- Choose the phones that you wish to ring
- Select a phone and click Remove to remove the phones that you do not want to be called
- Click on a phone and drag it up or down the list to change the order in which they are called
- Choose to have all calls "all at once" or ring "one at a time"
- Click Save
REMEMBER: Follow Me and Do Not Disturb will override your primary FML and all SFMLs until they are disabled.
