To create a main menu, click NBX Messaging > Auto Attendant, click a
specific Auto Attendant extension, and then click the Menu Tree tab. To
create or import voice prompts, click NBX Messaging > Auto Attendant,
click a specific Auto Attendant extension, and then click the Prompt tab.
See the online Help for procedures to create menus and prompts.
Submenus An Auto Attendant main menu can branch to submenus to
keep the main menu brief, and to give the caller a variety of choices. Each
submenu has a prompt that informs the caller of the option that each key
pad button provides.
If you have a large organization, the caller might have to enter several
digits and listen to several submenus before reaching the person or
department. For example, the caller might hear:
"
To reach our Sales Department, press 1. For Technical
Support, press 2...
The caller selects option 1 for sales and hears:
"
For European Sales, press 1. For North American sales, press
"
2.
The caller requires North American sales, presses 2, and is connected to a
sales hunt group.
To configure submenus, click NBX Messaging > Auto Attendant, click a
specific Auto Attendant extension, and then click the Menu Tree tab. See
the online Help for procedures to set up submenus.
