Configuring Softkey Templates
Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can manage softkeys associated
with applications that are supported by the Cisco
Unified IP Phone 7962G and 7942G.
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager supports two types of softkey templates: standard and
nonstandard. Standard softkey templates include Standard User, Standard Feature, Standard Assistant,
Standard Manager, and Standard Shared Mode Manager. An application that supports softkeys can have
one or more standard softkey templates associated with it. You can modify a standard softkey template
by making a copy of it, giving it a new name, and making updates to that copied softkey template. You
can also modify a nonstandard softkey template.
To configure softkey templates, choose Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template from
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a softkey template to a phone, use
the Softkey Template field in the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone
Configuration page. See Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager System Guide for more information.
Note The Cisco Unified IP Phones support all the softkeys that are configurable in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration.
