Answering Rules (where the Routing will forward)

1. Time Frames are “when” an Answering Rule takes effect.   Answering Rules control “where” the Routing for your Extension’s calls will go during that Time Frame.
   
   
2. The Answering Rule that is currently in effect for your Extension will always have a blue Active icon beside it. 
   
   
   
3. Answering Rules work on a “top-down” priority.  This means that if two Answering Rules are set to activate at the same time, the Answering Rule that is higher up in the list will be the Active Answering Rule. 
   
   
   
4. Priority is set this way by design.  For example, if a Holiday occurs on a Monday, and your normal Business Hours also occur on a Monday, Portal needs to know which Routing should take priority.
   
   
5. The Answering Rules tab is also where “ring time” for your Extension can be adjusted.   
   
   
   
6. Ring Time is the amount of time that your Extension will ring before the call is considered “unanswered” and follows the “When Unanswered” routing that you have set for the Answering Rule.

How to Add a New Answering Rule

1. Choose the Answering Rules Tab.
   
   
   
2. All existing Answering Rules will show as a List, including your “Default” Rule. 
   
   
1. The Default Rule will activate whenever there are no other Time Frames higher in the Answering Rules list to take effect.  For example, if you have set Business Hours and no other Answering Rules, the Default Rule will activate when you are outside of your set Business Hours.
   
   
3. To add a new Answering Rule, choose Add Rule. 
   
   
   
4. A pop-up window will open.  Use the dropdown to select a Time Frame for when the Routing should occur.  Any Answering Rules already set for your Extension will show as “in use”. 
   
   
1. Select the Time Frame you would like to use.   For our example, we will be setting an Answering Rule to match the "Weekend Hours" Time Frame that we set. 
   
   
   
5. You have two options for your Call Routing.   
   
1. You may use Always to send the call directly to a single Device, Voicemail, or Phone Number with no additional adjustments.
   
   
2. You may use Simultaneous Ring to send the call to more than one Extension and/or to send the Call to a Phone Number with or without  added (also called “press one confirmation”). 
   
   
   
6. See the Routing Options below, make your selections, and then Save.

Answering Rule Options

"Press One Confirmation" is one of the options in Answering Rules. When this option is chosen, the call will route to the outside Phone Number. 

Before connecting, the recipient/User will hear a "press one to accept this call" message.  If they press one, the call will connect to them.  If they do not, the call continues following all other routing.  Press One Confirmation is also known as "answer confirmation".

1. Having Press One Confirmation on ensures that not only does the recipient know that this is a Business call and how they should answer, but also ensures that the recipient's personal cell phone number does not apply its own rules to send the call to their personal cell phone Voicemail.   
   
   
2. If the call is being forwarded to an Answering Service or other similar entity, then Press One Confirmation is not needed. 
   
   

All Options

Option	Description
Enabled	By default, this option should always be checked unless a specific type of Answering Rule called a “Toggle” Time Frame is being used.    Toggle Time Frames Rule would be set up by Clarity, and you would receive instructions on how to use them at that time.
Do not disturb	When this option is chosen, all calls for your Extension will route directly to your Voicemail without ringing or alerting your devices.
Call Screening	When this option is chosen, all callers will receive a prompt to state their name prior to the call being connected to you.   The call will then connect to you, the recorded name will play, and you will be able to choose whether to answer the call or allow it to follow your “when unanswered” rule.
Always	Always is used when you want all of your Call Routing to directly forward to one Device, Extension, Voicemail, or Phone Number without any setting adjustments. This is often used to forward to an Answering Service or directly to Voicemail.
On Active	This is used to choose what the Call should do if you are already on an Active call.
When busy	This option is not currently in use for Clarity Voice domains.
When unanswered	This option should always be set.  It controls what happens to the call when your Ring Time has expired.  For example, if you are set to a 20 second Ring Time, and the call has already rung your Extension for the 20 seconds, you will want to set the "When Unanswered" option to route the call to the next destination.     The "When Unanswered" destination can be to your own Voicemail, an Answering Service number (or other outside phone number), or to another Extension.
When offline	This option determines where the call should route in the unlikely event that you lose internet/power and your phone is no longer online. Typically, you would choose to either forward the call to your Voicemail, to your cell phone, or to an Answering Service, depending on what type of calls route to your Extension.
Simultaneous ring	Simultaneous Ring has the most flexibility for your Extension’s routing as it includes the ability to send the call to more than one destination.  Include user’s extension- When checked, your Extension will be included in the Routing.  Ring all user’s phones- When checked all devices for your Extension will ring.  The device must be online.    These devices include any device logged into the Mobile App and/or Web Phone.  Answering confirmation for offnet numbers- This option should always be checked if you are including routing to a cell phone.  It is sometimes called “press one confirmation”.  Additional extensions or phone numbers can be added by clicking the Add plus icon. Ring delay- Any extension or phone number added to the Simultaneous Ring routing can have a Ring Delay included.   For example, maybe you would like the call to first ring your Extension and after ten seconds (approximately two rings) you would like the call to also begin ringing your cell phone.   Simply click the Ring Delay clock icon and use the slider to adjust when a call should begin ringing the device/number.
Just ring user’s extension	This used to send all calls only to your Extension.

1. The Meeting will immediately begin. 
   
   
3. You may also create a Meeting Room that can be joined at any time.

3. If you need assistance Toggling from the Extension View back to your Manager View, scroll up to "Extension View vs. Manager View". 
   
   

Extensions vs. "Users"

1. Extensions have access to their own Call Routing and Phone Devices.  Extensions are assigned to a single Employee.
   
   
2. In addition to Extensions, we also have other types of Users, such as Shared Users and Routing Users.  Routing Users hold the Routing Answering Rules for a Phone Number.  For example, every Auto Attendant and Call Queue has a matching Routing User. 
   
   
3. Shared Users are used to share a specific feature.  For example, if more than one Extension needs access to a single Voicemail Inbox, rather than assign the Voicemail to a specific Exension, we may instead create a Shared Voicemail User and give the Extensions access to it.
   
   
4. Shared Users and Routing Users have no charge and will not be present on your monthly Invoice.   They will be present in the Users Tab in Portal so that you may adjust Routing as needed.   Only Users assigned to your Site will load in your Manager View.

3. Once the User is chosen, you will be on the User's Profile tab by default. 
   
1. In our Example, we will be updating "Bob's" Voicemail PIN.
2. Make your changes, then Save. 
   
   

How do I Update Another User's Voicemail Options?

1. This is especially useful if you are onboarding a new Employee and want to set up their Voicemail Greeting for them.
   
2. You will have access to the same Settings that you do when managing your own Extension. 

1. Click the Users Tab.
   
   
   
2. Search for the User that you will need to update.   Click on their Name.

How Do I "Remove" a User?

1. Resetting a User will remove their access, reset their Name, and clear Voicemails.   The User will then be available to be used by another employee.
2. You can Reset a User even if you do not have a replacement for the User at this time. 
   

1. Click the Users Tab.
   
   
   
2. Search for the User that you will need to update.   Click on their Name. 
   
1. In our Example, we will be updating "Bob Rogers", extension 202, who is retiring.
   
   
   
3. Click the Voicemail tab.  Before Resetting a User, it is best practice to ensure that they have no Voicemails to be attended to.  Voicemails cannot be recovered after deletion.
   
   
1. Look at the "Number of Messages" field.  In our Example, "Bob" has already cleared his own Voicemails. 
   
2. If there are any Voicemail Messages showing, contact us.  We will be able to access the Voicemails.  We can forward these to another Extension and/or download them for you.
   
   
   
4. If you are ready to proceed, click the Advanced Tab.
   
   
   
5. Click Reset User.
   
   
1. A pop-up window of options will appear.  Make your selections. Make sure to checkmark Recycle User (even if no new Employee is ready to replace the Employee).  Click Reset.
   
1. In our Example, "Bob" does not have a replacement yet. 
   
   
2. A new window will open. You will be asked if you are sure. If you would like to proceed, choose Reset again. 
   
   
   
6. Rename the User.  Add an Email Address.
   
1. If you do not have a new Email Address, type in a placeholder Email Address for now.  This ensures that the old Email Address clears completely.
   
2. Only send a Welcome Email if you have a new Employee who is ready to accept the Email.  Welcome Emails will expire in 3-5 minutes for security reasons. 
3. If you do not have a replacement Employee, name the Extension "Open" or "Available".  This will make it easier to locate the User later when you are ready to bring the new Employee on board.
   
1. Save.
   
   
   
2. You will now see the new User in your Users list.  The term "password required" notes that the User does not have a Password set up at this time.  
   
   
   

How Do I "Onboard" a New Employee?

1. Alternatively, you may send a Welcome Email for them manually by going to the Users Tab, choose the new User, then click Advanced. Choose "Send Welcome Email".  
   
   
   

1. If they are ready to receive the Welcome Email, then we will send it at that time.
   
2. If they are not ready, have them go to https://portal.clarityvoice.com/ when they are ready. 
   
1. Have them click "Forgot Password".   A reset password link will be sent to them so they can set up their Password.
   
   

Managing the Domain's Call Routing

1. Extension Call Routing is the Call Routing of your own individual Extension.  "Domain" Call Routing is the Call Routing of any of the Phone Numbers that are assigned to your Site. 

1. The instructions listed here are meant to empower you to make changes to your Call Routing only if you should need or want to. 
   
   
2. Do not hesitate to reach out for major changes, guidance, or just a refresher training.
   
   

How Does Call Routing Work?

1. Initial Call Routing is set up by Clarity Voice.  You may make changes to this Call Routing at any time by logging into Portal. 
   
   
2. Call Routing consists of two pieces.  
   
1. One:  the Phone Number itself and the Routing User or Extension that it initially points to.
   
2. Two :  where the call should go next (Answering Rules) and when that should occur (Time Frames). 
   
   
3. If you have additional features in your Call Routing, such as Call Queues and/or Auto Attendants, you will also be able to control which Users are called and when.  You may also choose to present your customers with specific options to ensure they reach the right Department or Extension. 
   
   
4. Only Users, Call Queues, and Auto Attendants that are assigned to your Site will be visible to you.
   
   

How Do I Know How My Phone Numbers Are Routed?

1. Go to the Inventory Tab. 
   
   
   
2. This is where you will see a list of all of your Phone Numbers and which User they initially point to. 
   
1. You may use the Filters button to narrow your Search.  You may use the Export button to download the list once you have the view you would like.
   
   
   
3. Locate the "Destination" of the Phone Number. 
   
1. For our example, we are looking at User 3000. 
   
   
   
   
   
4. Go to the Users Tab.
   
   
1. Search for the User that your Phone Number pointed to.  Click on it.
   
   
1. If you do not see the User, make sure that System Users are not hidden. This option is in the bottom right.  Uncheck Hide System Users. 
   
   
   
5. Choose Answering Rules. 
   
   
1. You will now see a complete list of the Answering Rules for this Phone Number. In our Example, we can see that this Phone Number is currently in the After Hours Time Frame and the Answering Rule is routing to User 575 (After Hours Auto Attendant) currently.  We know this because the Answering Rule that is currently in use will always have a blue Active icon beside it. 
   
   
2. Just as it does with your Extension, Answering Rules work on a top-down priority, meaning that if there are two Answering Rules set to activate at the same time, the Answering Rule that is highest in the list will take priority.   
   
3. Just as it does with your Extension, the Default Rule will always activate if no other Answering Rules are set to go into effect.
   
   
6. If you are unsure what Times are set in the Time Frames, go to the Time Frames Tab and choose the Domain name. 
   
   
1. Choose the Time Frame to see the times that the Answering Rule will go into effect.
