What is the User List and Central Directory?
Your directory is available to you through the User Console. Here you will have all of your internal numbers, colour coded to show you user status (Available) and if that User is on a call
You can change your Internal Directory view, to show in groups as well as alphabetically
Using the click to call technology you can call directly from the screen. Please see our Click to Call guide
Note: Supervisors will also be able to access User Profiles through the directory, where they can change device, manage groups and User status, if they need to
To change from your User List to your Directory use the icons to the top right hand side. (Blue highlight = Active)
User List
The User list will show you all users in the surgery, their short dial number, their status and their call state by showing different colours
You will see the User short dial number (displayed before their name), and if the User is in a Group you may also see the Group short dial number (displayed by the group name)
User Status
Individual User Status will be indicated by the below colours, making it easy to identify whether a User is able to take calls or not
Green - Available | |
Red - Do Not Disturb | |
Orange - Direct Calls Only | |
Purple - Outbound Calls Only | |
Grey - Logged Out |
Call State
Call state displays whether a User is on an active call, using the below identifying colours
Inbound Call (Ringing) | |
Inbound Call (Talking) | |
Outbound Call (Ringing) | |
Outbound Call (Talking) | |
Wrap-up | |
Busy |
Note: Wrap-up is the pause between a call finishing and the user becoming available for the next call. This is set to 5 seconds. To change the Wrap-up delay, please see our User Wrap-up guide
Function Buttons
To the top left of your directory are the function buttons where you can sort by name, search, filter and filter on user/call state
You can change how you view your directory. See our guide on Changing the User Console Appearance
You can sort your Directory alphabetically. If you are in the Group view, it will sort the Groups alphabetically. If you are in User view, it will sort all Users alphabetically
Search for Users or external numbers by name | |
Filter your call list by Group | |
Filter your call list by User state or call state |
Remember: Clear your search or filters once you have found the user you were looking for, so you can see your whole User list again
Central Directory
The Central Directory holds all of your internal (User/Group short dial) and external numbers. Anyone can update this list, and it can be bulk uploaded if necessary
The Central Directory is available to everyone in the practice and logged into the Surgery Connect System - there is no personal call list
Note: When you are viewing your central directory you can only sort alphabetically or search by name
