Customizing the Workspace Appearance

Designing the Home Screen

Customize the system functionality according to your users' needs, skill levels, and environments.
Infrequent Users (Kiosk Mode)
Provide a simple workspace so no training is
needed:
• Let users make calls to pre-defined
numbers with one button click.
• Include instructions on screen.
New Users
Provide more options but keep it simple:
• Dialing entry field
• Directory numbers
• Recent Calls
Advanced Users
Provide additional options for advanced video
conferencing users:
• Call Quality (bandwidth and call type)
• User Settings, Diagnostics, and System
Information
• Speed Dial list of frequently called sites
• Alerts
You can customize the V500 system workspace appearance to suit your
environment functionally and aesthetically. For example, by customizing the
home screen into kiosk mode, anyone who uses the system only has to select a
site and press Call on the remote control to place a call.
