If you have not moved your mouse or keyboard after this time, your location icon shows a timer on it (i.e. ) to advise other users that you may no longer be at your desk. Enter a value in the text box to turn this feature on.

If this feature is now on and you are a Call Centre Agent that has been temporally logged out of the queue, you can manually log back into the queue by selecting your Location accordingly.

Enables you to specify how many days in advance you would like your appointments synchronised between your email client and the IPFX Client. This feature is ON by default. The default is set to 30 days.

Use custom folder for voicemail synchronisation

 

Allows you to set up an rule in your email client so that it saves your Voicemail messages to a folder other than your In Box, you will need to advise the IPFX Client what folder you have set the Voicemail redirection to. This is to ensure that when you delete a Voicemail message via the phone, it also deletes the copy of the message in the folder. If not set and the auto rule moves the Voicemail out of your In Box, the message will be deleted from your Voicemail server.

Note This feature is only available in IPFX for Outlook. When Voicemail messages are deleted, they are kept for 3 working days in the Voicemail system. However, if deleted in your email client and your Voicemail messages have .WAV files attached, they are kept indefinately based on your email client's settings.
