Manager-Secretary Function (Jabber)

 Detailinformation

Please Note:

This function is only available in RWTH networks or when using a VPN to connect to the university network. 

With the manager-secretary circuit, the manager has the option of activating a filter function which ensures that only certain persons (secretaries and selected phone numbers) can reach him. As long as this function is activated, all call numbers that are not entered in the filter function are automatically diverted to the selected call number.
Via the TK-Portal, the secretary and the manager can select at any time whether the function should be activated or deactivated. In addition, in the event of illness, call forwarding to other numbers can be changed; this is possible both on the telephone and in the TK-Portal.
