      The recording ID will be placed in the Attendant record 'Name File ID' field.  This recording will be used when transferring caller.  If the Name is not recorded, the extension number will be played to the caller instead of the name of the person or department the caller is trying to reach;

  3. Create Attendant Directory Record:
    1. Using the CALLMaster Manager, select Manage | Attendant;
    2. Add an Attendant record setting the 'Attendant ID' to the number you wish the caller to enter for directory listing option.  Set 'Time of Day' to All Day; set the 'Type of Transfer' to Directory.
    3. Save records and close the Manager.
  4. Record Attendant Menu Prompt# 505:
    1. Call the system and log in to the Administrator Main Menu per Steps 2A and 2B;
    2. From the Administrator’s Menu, select option 7 to Record System Prompts;
    3. Select Prompt 505 and re-record to provide the caller with options.
      For example, if in Step 3B you created a Directory record whose Attendant ID = 4 , then your prompt 505 could be as follows “If you know your party’s extension please enter it now or press 1 for information, 2 for sales, 3 for technical support or 4 for a company directory”.

You have now set-up the Attendant Directory and are ready to use it.
