CHAPTER ONE: AN INTRODUCTION TO BT ONE PHONE THE BT ONE PHONE PORTAL The fully-hosted nature of BT One Phone means that you have access to all of your company s administrative features online, via the BT One Phone Portal. For Administrators, the Portal is split into two sections: company administration and call settings. Company administration The BT One Phone Portal is your most important tool in managing the BT One Phone solution for your company. It gives you complete control and flexibility, so making changes is easy and doesn t always have to involve anyone from BT. In the self care area you can get a complete overview of the solution as well as placing orders, managing subscribers and making enquiries to the support team. See Chapter three for more information. Call settings Of course, as well as being an Administrator, you are also a user of BT One Phone, so your access will include all of the functions talked about in the user guide that came with your BT One Phone SIM. But some of these functions are enhanced for you, and you ll also have the option to access Company Administration features. It s in the call settings area that you really get into the detail by managing individual subscriptions, groups and the company directory. See Chapter four for more information. 4

My Status Directory My Availability My Settings My Groups Company Administration Group Management Downloads The user guide that came with your BT One Phone SIM card gives you detailed information about the features available to you through My Status, My Availability, My Groups and My Settings. The functions that an administrator will be focused on can be found in the Directory, Company Administration and Group Management lists. Directory This chapter will go through the Directory functionality available to you as an Administrator. The Directory function within the BT One Phone Portal gives you contact information for all your colleagues, including their BT One Phone presence status and phone status. You can also view the short numbers that you may have configured for external staff or suppliers. The Directory is also available to download as a mobile application from BT One Phone. As an Administrator, the Directory lets you organise users within a hierarchical structure of up to five levels. This means that you can add users, groups and IVR trees to any hierarchy level. You can also add a new contact to the directory through the VPBX, which you will find out more about later in this chapter. 16
But first, to access the Directory, you need to select the Directory option. This will bring up the Corporate Directory screen below: Clicking on the question mark in any window will open the help function In the Corporate Directory window, you will see your company s structure. You can expand and collapse the different company departments depending on what you want to see 17
Adding new departments To add a new department, go to the relevant level within the company structure and right click on the department line. (A pop up list appears) Note: Clicking on a department in the left hand pane, will display that departments details in this area of the window Click on Add Department from the menu The Add Department window is then opened.

To see users and groups within a particular department, go to the relevant department within the company structure and click on it to show all the users and groups within that department. Groups Users Highlighting any of the above types will display more details here 25
Move User and Groups Administrators can easily move users between departments. To do this access Users from the Company Administration list. Searching for names or numbers Using the drop-down menu in the Search field, you can search for people in a variety of ways: Automatic filter search results enter the name or number.

Search in emails enter the email address. The search field is live, so as you type results will start appearing, the results will be a list of people who fit the criteria you entered. Clicking on the person or group you were looking for will display their details in the lower pane. 26
Labels Labels are used to identify people in the company with particular skills or areas of expertise. So if, for example, a customer called to speak to someone about Product X, then the attendant could search the directory for users with a label of Product X to help them direct the call. You can create new labels for your company to use by going to Company Administration and selecting Labels. (This is covered in the Company Administration section of this guide) 27
CHAPTER FOUR: YOUR BT ONE PHONE PORTAL COMPANY ADMINISTRATION This chapter will explain the options available in the Company Administration list (dependant on your profile) and the tasks that Administrators are able to perform. The Company Administration area on the BT One Phone Portal is where you can manage all your company-wide settings. When you select Company Administration from the main menu. Note: The options you see in this list you may differ dependant on your profile. 28
Routing Templates These define how incoming calls to a certain numbers should be handled. You can create routing templates at a company level, which are then associated with a presence, and to a user through a user template. To manage your routing templates, go to Company Administration and select Routing Templates which will open the Routing Template screen: Click on View assignment to view who is using the template (Assigned) Clicking on the template name opens the Edit Routing Template window where the administrator can edit the template To delete a routing template, click on the delete button To add a new template click on the create button 29
To create a new Routing Template click on the + the Edit Routing Template will open. This window has two tabs; Routing and VM (Voicemail). In the Routing tab you can enter a Template name followed by Forwarding Rules and Search Rules Note: Additional options may be available depending on the rule selected You can select the rules you want to apply to searches (NOTE: Search rules only apply when a template is to be used with pick up groups (who gets the call first in the group and the delay time to alert users) Ring Time is the length of time you want that device to ring. Parallel calling with next can be selected when more than one device is added then checking this box will ring the next device simultaneously The Ringing Order defines the order in which the user s numbers are to be accessed for an incoming call. (Types are Mobile, Landline or Additional numbers where applicable) Note: If no rule is defined, the call is disconnected 30 Note: The Multiline box must be checked if Call waiting is required for users of this template.
In the Voicemail tab you can enter Notifications and Voicemail configuration. You can mix the notifications you want to receive for these options E.g. You could receive an email to notify you of a missed call, while you could receive a text for new messages Set these options if callers are to be routed to the voicemail box of the users of this template, and if they should hear their personal greeting when they are connected Click OK to save your settings The Edit Routing Template window is also used when editing existing templates and is used in a similar manner as the creation process. Routing profiles, in contrast to Routing templates, are Call Management settings (for an individual user) If an individual user needs settings that differ from those specified in any of the user templates, then you can create a routing profile for them. This is done in the Users option but is not recommended for all users (select users only). 31
CLI Templates (Caller Line Identification) These templates let you dictate what number is displayed for outgoing calls, (regardless of the caller s device.) This could be a mobile number, a landline number, or a number with a specific area code. Note: The CLI template used can be different for each Presence status that the user maybe in at an particular moment. Administrators can create CLI templates at a company level, and users can create their own as well. To manage your CLI templates, go to Company Administration and select CLI Template from the menu, which will bring up the following screen: 32
To edit a CLI template, first click on the Template name that you want to change, you can change caller ID information for internal and external calls made from inside or outside of the office. Here you can change the Template name and the CLI number this is to be sent when dialling out The Edit Caller ID Template window is also used when creating new template. A Template name is added for a new template, followed by its Internal and External call details. 33
User templates These are made up of a combination of user information and Call Management Templates. Different users in your company will need different call management and feature settings, and BT One Phone helps you create templates for each. So, for example, your office-based customer services team, manages large volumes of incoming calls, they will need a different set of rules to your sales team, who are both making and receiving calls out of the office. Templates give you an easy way to control settings and features for multiple users as they can be assigned to as many users as you need them to. And any changes to the templates are automatically applied to all users assigned to it. When you set up a user, you will add their basic information such as name and telephone numbers. To apply call settings and features relevant to them, you simply assign the relevant user template. User Template Can be applied to any number of users any changes made to a template will change the settings for all it s users Presence Idintifies where a user is and what they are doing, this in turn dictates how calls are handled according to the Routing Template Schedule Allows you to dictate when a Presence is active Permissions Indicates a users editing rights CLI Template Defines the number displayed to callers during outbound calls and is related to Presence as per the Routing Template Call Barring Template Defines the incoming and outgoing numbers that are barred Routing Template Defines how incoming calls should be handled-assigned to Presence 34
Presence A user s presence status dictates how their calls are handled, depending on where they are, what they re doing and possibly automatically following a Schedule. Administrators can therefore modify the routing of calls for any presence status available in a user template. Schedule Presence and therefore call management can also be scheduled for certain times of the day or week, or as recurring changes, using the Schedule functionality. For example, calls may be handled differently on weekdays than on weekends. Permissions Permissions settings apply to all users to which a template is assigned, and can be set to allow users editing rights based on their role. CLI templates CLI templates determine which number is displayed for outgoing calls, regardless of the caller s device. This could be a mobile number, a landline number, or a number with a specific area code. Call barring templates Call Barring templates dictate the numbers for which incoming and outgoing calls should be barred. 35
Routing templates Routing templates define how incoming calls are routed to users, and are also assigned to presence status options. To edit a user template you will need to access the user templates set up for your company to do this go to Company Administration and select User Template from the menu. To make changes to a template, double click on the relevant row (Name) and the edit window will open To add a new Template Click on the create button and enter the new Template details 36
In the Edit User Template you can Add, Change the Name of the Template, associate a Call Barring Template and CTI Monitoring. The Template also has 3 tabs; Presence, Schedule and Permissions. Checking a box will select which Presence Status will be available for the Users of this User Template 37
In the Presence tab you can set how to route calls subject to the Status, To make changes to how a Status handles calls, double click on the relevant row this activates the drop down lists where you can make your selection to the appropriate number In the Scheduling tab you can change a User s presence within a User template: Regular to schedule a regular, recurring presence change Day to set a presence change for one day Week to set a presence change for several days in one week Month to set a presence change for several days on one month In the Schedule tab you can dictate which Status is applied for a specific period Click on the Schedule tab to access the calendar and make your changes. 38
Set the end time, and then the Status that is to be used, finish by clicking on Save Clicking a time cell with pop up a time select window (This automatically sets the from start time) Clicking a time cell with pop up a time select window (This automatically sets the from start time) 39

Individual to grant permissions to set individual information. Directory to grant permissions for changes to the company directory. Click on the drop down button and select the Permissions the user is allowed for that option 40
Editing user templates To access the user templates set up for your company go to Company Administration and select User Template from the menu. The process for editing User Templates is similar to creating a new User Template. Call Barring Templates Call barring templates, are used to bar certain numbers from being dialled (outgoing calls). It is also possible to bar incoming calls as well. To manage your call barring templates, go to Company Administration and select Call Barring Templates from the menu, which will bring up the following screen: The functionality in this window is similar to that of the Routing Template 41
In the Edit Call Barring window you can edit the Template name, and by using the four tabs Incoming, System Outgoing, Customer Outgoing and Schedule, which user numbers are barred from receiving calls, which numbers cannot be dialled and when. Click on the drop down button and select the Permissions the user is allowed for that option In the System Outgoing Tab you can specify if the category is barred Within or Off Schedule. 42
The Customer Outgoing tab is governed by the Custom Call Barrings option in the Company Administration. Entries here will be seen in the Customer Outgoing tab 43
You can now select if these numbers are permitted to be dialled. You can now select if these numbers are permitted to be dialled. Clicking on the create button opens a blank call barring template that you can edit 44
Enter a Call barring Name and the prefix to be added to the list (Include 00 for International and area codes for national) Clicking on the create button adds the prefix to the Barred prefixes field Note: You can add more than one number to a list if appropriate e.g. adding a London prefix would entail adding 0207 & 0208 into the Barred Prefixes field, however 0203 numbers would not be included. 45
Users The Administrator can configure the user permissions attached to this user template. These permission settings apply to all users which are based on this template. The individual permission rights the Administrator can assign are limited by the global permission profile assigned to the company. e.g.: in case the company does not have Create right for Call Barring Templates the administrator can also not assign this right to any user. The functionality in the User Templates window is similar in all respects to that of the Routing and CLI Templates. however Users are configured by the BT One Phone Customer service team so this is not an Administrators function Administrators can edit the following details, in the Edit User window there are four tabs (five for Administrators) 46
Administrators do not have access to the fields in the Assign Window Tab In the Basic Information an Administrator can edit a user s Department, Language and the User Template. 47

Greyed out fields cannot be amended by administrators (These fields must be changed by BT) 51
In the Labels tab, you can assign labels to a user which serve to assist when searching for a specific group of users. To add a Label to a user, first highlight it in the Available Labels field The Label is then added to the User (To de-assign a Label reverse these steps) Then click on the arrow pointing right Note: Creating Labels is covered in the Labels section. 52
In the Additional Info tab you can add information such as a user s car registration number. This window contains 20 editable fields, field 1 had been configured to be used to capture car registartion numbers. Which can be viewed in the details area of a user, in the Corporate Directory. (Note: Modification of the data in these fields is shown in the Customise Directory section). 53
Permissions (additional) Administrators have an additional Permissions tab (Basic users do not see this) where they can modify their own profile. In the Permissions tab there are three sub tabs, Administrative, Individual and Directory. 54
In the Administrative tab you can define the permission levels for Administrating the company settings The options you can select per category are None, View, Edit and Create In the Individual tab you can define the permission level of a user for there own profile. 55
56 In the Directory tab you can define what an individual can do in the company directory.
Labels are used to identify people in the company with particular skills or areas of expertise. So if, for example, a customer called to speak to someone about a specific product, the attendant could search the directory for users with a label of Product X to help them direct the call. As an Administrator you can create new labels for your company to use by going to Company Administration and selecting Labels. To add a new label, Click on the create button and enter the Label you want 57

Now BT One Phone users will be able to view and search using that information stored in that field. 59
Presence Status A user s presence status dictates how their calls are handled, depending on where they are and what they re doing. Each presence status has its own templates and profiles attached to it, to determine how a user s calls are handled when their presence is set. So if, for example, a user s presence status is set to In a meeting, then a Routing template that routes all calls to their Voicemail may have been applied. Presence status can be defined for a company s use; this is done in the Presence Status option which is found in Company Administration 60
The method of selecting a presence for use by your company is to highlight the presence in the left hand field then click on the right button to move it into the right hand list. To remove a Presence status so it cannot be used, highlight the Presence and move it out of the right hand list by pressing the left arrow button.

CHAPTER FIVE: YOUR BT ONE PHONE PORTAL GROUP MANAGEMENT BT One Phone supports a whole range of different call groups to suit your business s needs. These include: Assistant groups in which one or more assistants can receive calls on their manager s behalf Hunt groups in which any one of a number of members can answer a call ACD groups in which calls are distributed according to the agents skill levels Pickup groups in which members can pick up each other s calls from their own phones Attendant Queues define how incoming calls are managed queued and which attendant can answer a call Attendants in which attendants are identified prior to being assigned to a queue IVR in which calls are routed in accordance with a specific customised IVR trees, in which callers can be recognised, personalised messages are played and call handling schedules defined. Administrators can edit and delete groups through the Group Management area of the BT One Phone Portal. 66
Assistant groups Assistant groups allow one or more assistants to receive calls on their manager s behalf. Where an Assistant Group is set up for a manager, and if the manager is configured in the manager s routing profile then the manager s calls are routed to the assistant group. Each assistant within the group must have a skill level assigned to them (a bit like the members of an ACD group), and calls are routed to the assistant with the highest skill level. Assistant groups will also have one or more access numbers that can be used to contact them directly. To manage your assistant groups go to Group Management and select Assistant Groups. To edit an existing assistant group, click on the Name of the group you want to change, which will bring up the Edit Assistant Group screen. 67
The Edit Assistant Group window contains three sub tabs, these are Group Settings, Group Members and Managers which you can use to assign a manager to an assistant group. Caller ID settings allows you to change how calls from the group are shown on the called user s device, for incoming, transferred and consultation calls In the Group Settings tab you will see that some of the fields are not editable (These fields are managed by the BT One Phone Customer Service desk). 68
In the Group Members tab you can assign (de-assign) assistants to the group, and add the response settings. To remove a member from the group, click on the delete button To assign a new member to the group, click on the create button You can now select an assistant for the group 69

You can also adjust the time a member is paused for after missing a call Selecting the Auto-logoff assistant option will log a member off after a defined number of missed calls (Consecutive missed calls) Checking the On auto logoff sends an auto logged off text message to the user telling them they have been logged off 70
In the Managers tab you can assign and de-assign the managers of the group. To assign a manager click on the name you want from Available Managers on the left hand side, and move it to the Assigned Managers column by clicking the arrow that points to the right To remove a manager from the group reverse the steps shown above. Note: A manager can only be assigned to one assistant group. 71
Hunt groups In a hunt group, any one of a number of individuals can answer a call to a specific phone number. Typically, a call coming into that number will be connected and a greeting prompt will be played, after which it is put through to the next available member of the hunt group. To manage your hunt groups, go to Group Management and select Hunt Groups. To edit an existing group, click on the queue name which will bring up the Edit Hunt Group window To see the routing, group and IVR information relating to a group, click on View assignment As an Administrator, you can configure various options for a Hunt group, available through the following tabs that appear. 72
In the Group Settings tab you will see the numbers dialled by incoming callers to reach the group (Assigned phone numbers). Hunt groups are created by the BT One Phone Customer Services Team, so some of the fields are greyed out and cannot be modified by an Administrator. In the Ring Back Tone filed you can select a prompt that will be played as RBT for that number before a member of the group answers it You can view and change the Audio settings of the group Click on the Play greeting drop down menu to see and select announcement prompts for the group. (This is the message played to the caller on connection) Caller ID Settings will allow you to change how calls from the group are shown on the called user s device, for incoming, transferred and consultation calls. This is useful if users receive calls for multiple groups In the Voicemail notification address box you can add an email address to send an email with voicemail attached to group members when a voicemail message has been left. (WAV File) 73
In the Group Members tab, you can manage the members of the group within the edit / assign group members section. Delete and add member buttons Click on the add button will insert a new member row. 74
Note: Up to 5 devices can be ringing in parallel. That row will include the following: Ringing time the amount of time the incoming call will ring on a user s device before moving on to the next member. Group manager which lets a user log individual users into the group and open or close the hunt group, and view the Group call log and listen to group voicemails. May manually set login status lets the individual user login or logout of the hunt group. If the option is not enabled then the user s login status will be the same as for the rest of the group. Login status Auto automatically sets the user s login status according to their presence settings. Parallel calling with next lets calls ring simultaneously for this member and the following member. This option means multiple members can be ringing at the same time and that calls can cascade down a group of callers. 75
In the Group Members you can also set the group s call responses within the Group response settings section. Automatic logoff to automatically log a user off if they miss a set number of incoming calls Checking the On auto logoff sends an auto logged off text message telling the user they have been logged off Prefer to route calls defines the way calls are distributed to the members, there are two ways this is achieved, Linear hunting: calls are always delivered to first line in the list; if that line is busy the second line receives the call, then the third etc. Circular hunting calls are distributed in a circular or round-robin way, so if a call is delivered to line 1, the next call goes to 2, the next to 3 etc. When the end of the hunt group is reached, the hunting starts over again at the first line. If parallel ringing is selected for multiple users, their devices will ring simultaneously when a call is delivered to their position in the ringing path of that call. - Limit simultaneous which limits the number of members who can be rung at any one time through the group - Limit search time the total length of time a caller will wait before Overflowing - Pause member after missed call to pause a member that misses a call for a period of time so they do not receive any further hunt group calls 76
In the Schedule tab you can dictate when the hunt group is open and when it s closed. (By default it is always open.) To close the hunt group you need to configure the schedule to tell the system to close it. The schedule can be configured for either regular opening hours, or for specific periods within a day, week or month. Clicking a time cell with pop up a time select window You also have the options to set a closed group for a Day, week or Month This group will now be closed for this time period Then click OK to apply the change to the schedule Set the until time, then click on Save, then click OK 77
Overflow tab In the Overflow tab you can define how an incoming call is handled if it hasn t been answered by any of the group s members. The call can be handled differently depending on why it wasn t picked up. The options for managing calls that are not picked up are: Voicemail sends the caller to the group mailbox Attendant sends the caller to the Attendant You can set a different action for each condition, or have them as all the same. However, the default setting is Disconnect so we strongly advise you to change this setting. There are 4 set conditions for a call not having been answered. These are: The group is closed No group members are logged in No members are available / all members are busy The search time limit has been reached Announcement plays an announcement specific to the group and then disconnects the call Disconnect disconnects the caller Internal routes the caller to another internal number External routes the caller to an external number 78
ACD group calls ACD group calls can be distributed according to the agent s skill level. The agent s skill level is set up within BT One Phone; on a per group basis within the ACD group settings i.e. an agent s skill level can be different in different groups. Where all agents have the same skill level, additional rules must be put in place to dictate which agent a call is put through to, for example, the agent who has been idle for the longest. In an ACD group, calls can be queued until an agent becomes available to answer the call. So there can be more calls queued than there are m embers in a group (which differentiates it from a Hunt Group). To manage your ACD groups, go to Group Management and select ACD Groups. To see the routing, group and IVR information relating to a group, click on View assignment Groups are added and deleted through the Self-care part of the BT One Phone Portal or by contacting the BT One Phone team. To edit an existing group, click on the queue Name which will bring up the Edit ACD Group window 79
The Edit ACD Group window contains the same tabs that appear for Hunt groups (Group settings, Group Members, Schedule and Overflow) and are managed in the same way. The key differences between Hunt Groups and for ACD groups are the Skill and Ringing time settings in the Group Members tab. For each group member a skill level has to be assigned. The system will later route the calls according to this skill level. It will send the call to an available group member with the highest skill level. You can also specify the ring time (seconds) for each group member in the Ringing Time field. 80
However there is also an additional Queue tab, in this tab you can define queue lengths, wait time, what prompts are played and if you want to play a callers position in the queue. This greeting is played before the caller is placed into the queue When both a first and second prompt are selected they will rotate for the time the caller is in the queue Play position to callers in queue checking this box lets the caller know here they are in the call queue These are the options: Maximum queue length dictates how many callers can be held in a queue before they are managed through the overflow Maximum wait time dictates how long a caller can be on hold before they are managed through the Overflow Play greeting the greeting that s played to all callers before they are put through to an ACD group member First periodic prompt the first prompt (message) played to a caller in a call queue Second periodic prompt the second prompt (message) played to a caller in a call queue You can limit the Play position in queue prompt by selecting the until caller has reached queue position (Defaulted at postion 1) 81
Pickup groups To manage your pick-up groups, go to Group Management and select Pickup Groups. In a pickup group, the members can pick up each other s calls from their own phones. For example, a call coming into Member 1 s line can be picked up by Member 2, 3 or 4 on their phones. The call will be flagged up to them on their Alert Client if Member 1 hasn t picked the call up in time. Clicking on a group Name will open the Edit Pickup Group window To add or delete a Pickup Group click on the relevant button 82
Edit Pickup Group In this window you can either name or rename a Pickup group or add a new member to a group. To assign users to a Pickup Group, highlight them in the Available Users list, and then click on the right arrow You can either enter a new or amend an existing Group name Note: Ensure you ve enabled the alert pickup group members option in the Routing template. To remove a member form a group highlight their name in the Assigned Users field, then click on the left arrow Click OK to confirm the changes If you don t want a particular user to be alerted, you can set the Not alerted option. 83
