Managing locations

Within a location, you can manage as many configuration groups as you like. Users are specified at each site and in every configuration group together with their respective settings. Newly added configuration groups can apply settings from the location or overwritten with individual settings.

If different settings and licenses are to be used for one location, you can create subordinate configuration groups via User management > Location. Click: Options> Create new configuration group.

Managing of users and settings of a location are described here:

Create new location

New locations can only be created by system administrators, not by sub-administrators.

Create location

Navigate to User management in the Web Administration, here click on the remember-user Create new location button.

    • Telephony

    • Voicemail

    • Fax

    • Text message

    • Collaboration

    • Instant messaging

    • Presence management.
