CRM Connect – Application User GuideCall ControlLet’s take a moment to review the items on the Call screen in the Phone window:Contact information: The nameandtelephonenumberoftheremote person.Page left/right: Use these to switchbetween c alls when you have morethan one call in progress.Call actions: Use these buttons tointeract with the current call.Call information: Other informationabout the current call.As you can see, the Phone window allows you to interact with the current call in a number of ways.One of the most common ways is to click on the New contact or Edit contact button to apply a nameto the person you are speaking to. This is covered in a later section, Address books.It is also common to use this screen to perform a trans fer of the current call to anot her extension oruser. To do this you must be Connected to the call (as opposed to it being on Hold or Ringing).When you are Connected, then the Actions list looks like the above example. To transfer a call youdo NOT press the Hold button. The Hold button has a different purpose (more about his later).Instead you either press the Consult or Transfer button. You choose the button according towhether you want to speak to the other person (Consult) or not (Transfer).20www.btwholesale.com

CRM Connect – Application User GuideYou are then presented wit h a screen like the Make call screen, but with the word Consult orTrans fer at the top. Your call is not on hold at this stage yet, but when you are ready, type thenumber to transfer to (or choose one of the dialling options) and if you are Consulting then theoriginal call will be put on Hold pending trans fer (the pending t rans fer bit is important). If you aretransferring then the call will be put straight through.More call controlWe’ve seen what you can do with a connected call. Can you interact with other calls? Yes,when a call is ringing, you can choose to answer t he call or Deflect it (trans fer it withoutanswering it) to another extension. Deflecting a call is done a manner similar to trans ferringcalls. Click the Deflect button, type a number to deflect the call to and click Deflect again.Deflecting calls is not just used to avoid work. If you are already on the phone and someone elsephones you, then you can use Deflect productively to move the call to a colleague who can tell thecaller to wait for you to become available.You can also put calls on hold. Depending on your telephone system configuration, this means thatthe other person should hear music. When you are ready to talk to them again, use the Unholdbutton. Remember, the Hold button is not for transferring calls. It is purely to pause the call. If youwant to transfer a call that is on hold, then first you will have to take the call off hold first.21www.btwholesale.com
