dow appears. Enter the extension number or wildcard extension for the device(s). If
desired, you can scroll through the list of available numbers and select your extension
from the list. Then select
you will receive an error message and must enter a new number. The new off-node
device appears in the list without a description or username.
4.189 Description and Username: The description is used in the intercom directory and the
username appears on phone displays. You can enter a new description or username by selecting
the appropriate field and then entering the new information in the text box. Then press
or select another field to save the change. Descriptions can contain up to 20 characters and
usernames can contain up to 10 characters. Do not use slash (/), backslash (\), vertical slash (|),
or tilde (~) characters in usernames. Do not use Control characters in descriptions or user-
names.
4.190 Intelligent Directory Search (IDS): Because of the IDS feature introduced in v9.1, the
information you enter in any endpoint Description and Username field will have an impact on
how users search for information in the system. The Description and Username fields are
located in System\Devices and Feature Codes\Local\<station>. See
about IDS.
4.191 To enter a description to support IDS:
Select the Descriptions field and then enter the full name, up to 20 characters, in the
1.
text box. The full name should be entered in the form: Last name, First name as much
as possible. Note that the field is case-sensitive, therefore, IDS will display "Bond,
James" rather than "BOND, JAMES" if that is what you programmed into the database.
When using this method, the algorithm considers everything before the comma as the
last name and everything after the comma as the first name. For example, a user named
"Billy Bob Via Linda" should have his description programmed as "Via Linda, Billy
Bob." Be careful with descriptions like "Smith, George IP" to indicate that this exten-
sion is George Smith's IP phone because IDS will think the name is "George IP Smith."

4.192 Hidden Entries in the Voice Mail Directory: There is a Voice Mail feature that allows
you to program a description for a user in DB Programming but hides the description in the
Voice Mail directory. For example, a user may have a primary extension (for example, at the
office) programmed as "BOND, JAMES." However, the same user may have a secondary
extension—for example, at home—that is not published from the Voice Mail directory.
4.193 To hide an entry in the Voice Mail directory, enter a tilde (~) immediately before the
last name (for example, "~BOND, JAMES") in the Description field. See
details.
