Understanding the Hierarchy
Types of Administrators
Enterprise Administrator: One contact in the company who has access to the entire organization.
This person can set up all Groups, Departments, and Users within the Enterprise.
Group Administrator: A person who has administrative rights to a specific Group and can configure and manage any Department or User assigned to their Group.
Department Administrators: A person who has administrative rights to a specific Department and can configure and manage Users assigned to the Department.
The diagram below summarizes the hierarchy.
The Role of an Administrator
The Administrator is responsible for provisioning services to the Group, Department, or individuals (Users).
This includes resetting passwords, updating Users’ profiles and changing the parameters of specific services for the Group or individual Users, such as Voice Messaging, Auto Attendant, and Custom Call Routing.

Resources and Utilities
Resource and Utilities are both view-only menus. Resources will show the Group and User Services Authorizations and Service Pack Consumption. Service Descriptions are in alphabetical order and can be very helpful in learning your new system features and functionality. The Utilities Menu provides a view of all users in your
Enterprise, along with quick links to view detail and create a PDF of Directory information. Answer Confirmation allows you to create a custom message that will be heard for features using Answer Confirmation.
Setting Up Your Group Level Information
Accessing Groups
To access the Group you would like to manage or configure, select the Group name from the drop-down menu.

Group Profile
Update the Group Profile Section with your company information. Typically, each physical business location is a unique Group.
Edit Group Information:
1. Select your Group from the dropdown filter
2. You will automatically be routed to “Profile, Group Profile”
3. Enter a Group Name (if you have multiple Groups, be sure to give each one a unique name)
4. Enter the Group Address information
5. Complete Administrator information (Main contact for the particular Group)
6. Click “Save”
Note: The Administrator’s Contact Name, Phone, and Email Address are for reference only. To add an
Administrator, see the Administrator section below.
Group Dialing Plan (Location Codes)
If you have multiple locations where the last 3 or 4 digits from one employee could potentially be the same as another employee (e.g., location A and B both have an extension of 2200), assign a location code for each Group. By assigning a Location Dialing Code—such as 55 for Group A—employees will dial 55 plus the extension (e.g., 552200) to reach the correct party. If you have all unique 3- or 4-digit extensions for all employees, this feature will not be needed.
To set up a Location Dialing Code:
1. Select the Group requiring a location code
2. Scroll down to Group Dialing Plan
3. Enter a 1 or 2 digit Location Dialing Code
4. Click “Save”
Note: For calls made within a Group (same site location), Users will not dial a location code. Therefore, the managedIP – Assistant Toolbar Group Directory will only display the Location Dialing Code for other locations in the Enterprise. Users may need to restart the managedIP Assistant–Toolbar application before they can view the Location Dialing Codes in the Group Directory.

Setting Up Your User-Level Information
The next step to setting up your service is to associate an employee’s name to a telephone number. TDS will have all the telephone numbers in the system listed by Group. You will want to edit these by adding the employee’s last name and first name with the number. This will be helpful for editing the User’s services, if necessary, in the future.
Initial setup of Users:
1. Select the Group
2. Select a telephone number from the User dropdown filter
3. In the User Info section, enter the employee’s Last Name and First Name
4. Enter the Calling Line ID, Last Name and First Name displayed for internal calls
5. Assign a Department, if applicable
6. Click “Save”
Note: The remaining information in the User profile will be completed by the User. Continue with all of the telephone numbers in the Group by selecting them on the User dropdown menu. Once completed, move to the next Group, if applicable.
Understanding Your Group Services
Group Resources
Resources provide the Administrator with account information on Service Authorizations and Numbers. Service
Authorizations are a summary of the types of Service Packs assigned to the Group, a description of Group and
User Services with limits and allocations, and the telephone numbers assigned and ordered for the Group. This information is based on the features and services your company has purchased from TDS.

Auto Attendant
Auto Attendant is an automated receptionist that answers incoming calls for the Group, based on Time Schedules set by the Administrator. It provides your callers with:
• Business and After-Hours Greetings
• Dial-By-Name Directory
• Destination-based Call Routing
Profile
To modify an Auto Attendant:
1. Select the Group
2. Hover over Group Services and click “Auto Attendant”
3. Select the Auto Attendant you wish to modify from the dropdown filter
4. In the Profile, enter the “Name” of your Auto Attendant
• We recommend keeping your naming scheme short (e.g., “Main_AA”)
5. If the service is limited to a Department, assign the Department
6. From the Business Hours dropdown, select Business Hours Schedule
• (If “Every Day All Day” is chosen, the Auto Attendant will not present callers with After Hours Greeting
or options. You must have a Business Hours Time Schedule created; see Time Schedules in this guide)
7. Select your Holiday Schedule, if configured
8. Select the Scope of Extension Dialing. This determines whether the Auto Attendant can redirect callers by extension to any User in its Enterprise, Group, or Department.
9. Select the Scope of Name Dialing. This determines whether the Auto Attendant can redirect callers by name to any User in its Enterprise, Group, or Department.
Note: The extension and name dialing scope defaults to Enterprise. If you want to limit a caller’s options to a specific Group or Department, select the correct toggle.
10. Select Name Dialing Entries. This determines the format that callers will use for the dial-by-name directory.
11. Click “Save”
Business Hours Tab
The business hours option allows you to customize your Auto Attendant during Business hours. If you leave everything set to default, callers will hear a system greeting telling them their call is being answered by an automated attendant and they will then be presented with the standard Interactive Voice Response (IVR) options.

To configure Business Hours IVR:
1. Select either the Default or Personal Greeting button. (If Personal is selected it requires the recording of the
message to be heard by callers.)
• Recommended: You can record a custom greeting in your Voice Portal (instructions provided below).
• Optional: If you record a greeting (.wav file) using Windows Recorder or another sound recorder, click the
Browse button and select the file.
2. Check the “Enable First-Level Extension Dialing” box if you would like to allow the caller to enter the extension
of the party they wish to reach without selecting a menu option first
Note: If you enabled first-level extension dialing, you are not able to use the numeric key that is the same as the first digit of your extension dialing range. For example, your extensions range from 4500–4599, so you will not be able to use 4 in the menu options to the caller.
3. Specify the menu options for callers, as stated in the greeting you record or selected. Once complete, click Save.
Your menu options are:
Key: List of the keys available on a telephone keypad to which you can assign actions shown in the following table.
Description: An optional description for the menu option.
Action: A drop box that allows you to select the action to be performed. The following table describes the available actions. This is a required field.
Phone Number: When you have selected an action that transfers a call, a number must be specified. For internal calls, enter a 4-digit extension. For outside calls, enter the 10-digit telephone number.

Account/Authorization Codes
You may select the use of either Account Codes or Authorization Codes for outgoing calls with your managedIP Group.
• Account Codes: Non-validated codes that are entered by a User prior to placing a call. The system ensures that codes provided by Users contain the required number of digits, but does not validate codes entered. You may mandate that a User always enters an Account Code prior to placing a call (“Mandatory Usage”) or you may make this optional, requiring the User to dial a Feature Access Code (FAC) prior to placing the call.
• Authorization Codes: Validated codes which are required prior to placing a call. Calls are not connected unless a valid code is entered. These mandatory codes are defined as a specific length (2–14 digits) and have a specific value, defined by the Administrator.
With the use of both, your business will receive a detailed monthly report, sorting your calls by Account or Authorization codes. In addition, if you subscribe to “Enhanced Call Detail Reporting”, your reports will provide the Account Code entered by the users. Although this feature may be used for both local and toll calls, your monthly report (mailed to your business) will only include the detail for toll calls.
