Presence Settings

Your presence tells colleagues whether you are reachable at the moment, and it also decides how the Cloud Voice App handles calls that come in. The app ships with six default statuses:

  • Available status icon Available
  • Away status icon Away
  • Do Not Disturb status icon Do Not Disturb
  • Lunch Break status icon Lunch Break
  • Business Trip status icon Business Trip
  • Off Work status icon Off Work

Each status carries its own set of options, so you can define one behavior for Available and a completely different one for Off Work. Whenever you switch status, the matching settings take effect right away.

  1. Go to Me > Current Presence > Presence.
  2. Next to the status you want to adjust, tap the options icon (Presence options icon).

The following sections describe every option you can configure for a status.

Attach a short note to the status, for example a reason or a return time.

SettingDescription
Presence InformationAdd a note to the status.

Forwarding rules send incoming calls somewhere else when you cannot take them under a given status.

SettingDescription
Types of incoming callsChoose which calls the rule covers: Internal Calls (from colleagues) or External Calls (from outside callers).
Forward conditionSwitch on a condition and pick where matching calls should go.

The available forward conditions are:

  • Always: redirect every incoming call to the destination.
  • No Answer: redirect only the calls you do not pick up.
  • When Busy: redirect only the calls that arrive while you are already on a call.

The ring strategy sets the order in which a call rings the devices where your extension is registered. Those endpoints can include:

  • Extension Endpoint: the IP phone, analog phone, or softphone (a phone app running on a computer) your extension is registered to.
  • Cloud Voice App Mobile Client
  • Cloud Voice App Desktop Client (softphone mode only)
  • Cloud Voice App Web Client (web client only)
SettingDescription
Ring FirstChoose which endpoint or endpoints ring as soon as a call reaches your extension.
Ring SecondlyChoose which endpoints ring next if no one answers on the Ring First endpoints.

Set how long a call keeps ringing before it moves on, so callers are not left waiting. When the timeout is reached, the call goes to the destination you defined for the No Answer forward condition.

SettingDescription
Ring Timeout(s)Enter the ring duration, from 5 to 300 seconds.

Ring your extension and a mobile number at the same time, so a call to your extension also reaches your cell phone.

SettingDescription
Ring Mobile Number SimultaneouslyTurn the switch on to enable simultaneous ring.
MobileEnter the mobile number to ring.

By default the Cloud Voice App Mobile Client pushes alerts such as missed calls and new voicemail to your device at any time. If you would rather not be notified under a particular status, turn the option off.

SettingDescription
Accept Push NotificationsEnable or disable push notifications on the Cloud Voice App Mobile Client.

A ring group is a set of extensions that ring together when someone dials the group’s number. By default you receive ring group calls no matter which status you are in. You can change this per status.

SettingDescription
Accept calls from Ring GroupEnable or disable ring group calls while you are in this status.

A queue holds callers in line until an agent is free to answer. If you are a dynamic agent who logs in and out of a queue often, you can link your queue status to your presence so the two change together.

SettingDescription
Log InLog in to the queue.
Log OutLog out of the queue.
PauseStop taking queue calls, and choose a pause reason if needed.
Do NothingKeep your current queue status unchanged.
