Planning is essential in organizing
an AA menu structure that makes
sense. Planning also helps you to
identify needs for custom prompts.
This simple example, using sample
work forms for each menu, shows a
beginning structure: a main menu
and two of the four expansions.
When callers are routed to
workgroup extensions, the
workgroups have their own call
handling settings for greetings,
update phrases, rules for sending to
voice mail, and so on.
Timeout (not shown on forms): after
7 seconds on first level, call the
operator; on any other level, go to
top level by default.
