Requirements and supported devices

With the help of the feature, any user can view missed Call Group calls and voicemails notifications. For this purpose, it is necessary to create a dedicated user who serves as a Call Group notifications manager. Users who want to view notifications, need to subscribe for the user via a BLF key Voicemail.
To configure the feature, take the following steps:
Step 1. Go to WMS -> Users and add a new user. Make sure you assign at least Basic license:
Step 2. Go to WMS Dialplan -> Call Groups -> edit the strategy for a specific Call group and set the created user as a Missed calls manager:
Step 3. Subscribe for the Missed calls manager via a BLF key Voicemail. Make sure to add ACL permission "Can see - Voicemail - group" in WMS -> Users -> Groups
BLF keys can be set by users in Collaboration Settings -> Fn keys or by PBX administrator via WMS:
