Reference:Administration/PBX/Objects/Executive

The Executive PBX object is used to implement the boss/secretary functions. The boss’s telephone registers with this object. Furthermore, two groups can be defined for this object: the primary secretary, which is directly subordinate to the boss, and the secondary secretary, which stands in for the primary secretary.

There is still a third group that can be defined – its members may phone the boss directly without the call being signalled on the phones of the secretaries. All calls to the boss are sent to the primary secretary. If no registration exists for the primary secretary, then the calls are forwarded to the secondary secretary. All calls to the secretary groups are signalled as a diverted call, with the boss displayed as the call diverter.

Every call received by the boss that was previously received by the secretaries is likewise signalled as a diverted call. It is thus possible to adjust the boss’s ring tone, so that it rings differently if the call was initialised by one of the secretaries. If a call is received directly on the boss’s phone, that is, not via the secretaries, it can be signalled with a different ring tone.

The following specifications are made in the EXECUTIVE section:

• Primary: The Primary secretary group, when added, may be selected here.
• Secondary: The Secondary secretary group, when added, may be selected here.
• Direct Call: The Direct Call secretary group, when added, may be selected here.
• Call Executive: Calls to the secretary’s phone are also signalled on the boss’s phone, if this check box is checked.

If no secretary groups have yet been created for this object, the Primary, Secondary and Direct Call entry fields are empty.
