Phonebooks

Phonebooks are contact lists your users can call from the Webphone and desk phones. When a contact calls, their name is shown instead of just the number. Open them from Phonebooks at the top of the PBX tab.

Create a phonebook

1. Click Create a new phonebook, enter the Phonebook’s name and click Create.
2. Add contacts by entering a Name and Phone number and clicking Add, or use Import/export.
3. Click User access and choose Add to all PBX users, or add it to individual users in their User settings.

Desk phones work best with no more than 4 phonebooks per user. The Webphone has no limit.
