Spelled Names or Numbered Names
Indicate whether the message groups on the system should begin with
three letters or three numbers. If message group names begin with
numbers, also indicate the System ID subscribers press before leaving
group messages.
The special System ID for numbered groups must be unique. The number
should be short (two or three digits), to speed the flow of the conversation
(the system prompts a subscriber for the System ID each time a
subscriber leaves a message). Remember that the ID you choose
prevents you from using a range of other System IDs. For example, using
14 for the special System ID for numbered groups makes the ranges
140~149 and 1400~1499 unavailable.
Group Name or Number
Indicate the name or 3-digit number of the message group. Remember
that subscribers use the message group name or number to leave
messages for the group.
For sites using spelled-name groups, carefully consider the names you
give open groups. Subscribers use the first three letters of the group name
to send messages to it, so the name you choose should be easy to
remember. For example, it would be easier to remember that entering
ALL
sends a message to a group containing all staff than to remember to
enter
EMP
for the same group that was named employees.
For sites using numbered groups, a 3-digit group number is not a System
ID, so it does not have to be unique.
You should not use your system wildcard character (usually 1 or 0) in the
group number.
You can have more than one message group with the same spelled name
or group number. If this occurs, subscribers choose the correct group by
listening to the group recorded name, just as they do when choosing
between subscribers with the same last name.
Group Owner
Enter the name of the subscriber that owns this group. Only the owner of
the group can change the group by telephone.
Deliver message only to the first person to hear it?
Select whether the group has dispatch or broadcast distribution. Most
groups have broadcast distribution.
