Editing a Switch-Based Bulletin Board Message
A message may contain up to three pages of information. Message lines 1
through 10 on page 1 are reserved for Avaya Services High-Priority messages
(the "init" and "inads" logins can edit the first 10 lines on page 1). Pages 2 and 3
allow up to 20 lines of text, with up to 40 characters per line. Each line of text has
a date field that is populated by the system when the line is modified.
The control keys used to edit existing feature forms also edit a message in the
Switch Based Bulletin Board. Use the following characters in the text field:
Uppercase/Lowercase letters, spaces, numerals, and!@#$%^&*()_
-+=[]{};'"<>./?.
Tab characters are not allowed.
If a user changes any lines that cause two or more consecutive blank lines, the
bulletin board is automatically reorganized upon submittal. Two or more blank
lines are consolidated into a single blank line. If a blank line is at the top of a
screen, it will be deleted. This function helps prevent holes in the bulletin board
screens as old entries are deleted.
Use save translation to save a message entered into the bulletin board text field.
The following screen is an example of bulletin board messages between Avaya
and a customer who is having trouble with trunk group translations.
