Site Address
- Sites simplify administration for all users within a site by applying common properties, such as emergency address, language, dial plan, time zone, as well as the ability to manage advanced call handling options such as receptionist dialing.
- Administrators can confirm which Site a user is assigned to by editing a users Profile, under the Basic Information section.
- Administrators can edit or create a new Site by:
- Selecting Sites on the Home page
- To Create a new Site select Create Site in the top-right corner, OR
- To Edit an existing Site select the pencil icon next to the Site that needs to be edited
- The Emergency Address for the Site can be located under the Emergency section
- Selecting Sites on the Home page
- The Site Address will be used for a users E911 address by default.
- This allows Administrators to quickly update the Site address. For example, if moving to a new building the Administrator would just need to update the address at the Site level, and all extensions will have the Same as Site setting.
