Phrase Management
You might want to record unique phrases to customize an Auto Attendant
or a workgroup. When the system is configured to answer incoming calls
by the Auto Attendant, callers hear a customized greeting. For example:
“Thank you for calling ABC Company.
Enter the extension number of the person you wish to speak with.
Press 1 for sales,
Press 2 for technical support,
Press 3 for accounts payable,
Press 0 to reach the operator,
To repeat this menu, press star (*).”
An example of a workgroup greeting phrase:
“Please hold; someone will be with you shortly.”
This section covers information using pre-recorded phrases, recording
custom phrases, and using professionally recorded phrases.

AltiWare provides ready-to-use pre-recorded phrases. Phrase 0001 is the
