those that have been proposed or declined) by using specific keywords in the
Subject line. You can choose between the following calendars:

occurs independently, regardless of whether or not your PC is running. The
administrator must configure the Exchange Calendar Integration for this
function.
•

•
iCal calendar

Meeting
•

•
Break
•
Gone Out
•
Vacation
•

may be located anywhere in the Subject line. If the Subject line contains more
than one such keyword, only the fist takes effect. When this function is enabled,
your Presence status changes automatically at the start and end time of the
relevant appointment. The check for calendar appointments occurs at 30-second
intervals.
NOTICE: When enabling this function, please bear in mind that
any appointments with these keywords in the Subject line could
lead to undesirable changes in your Presence status.
Consequently, you may nee to change the Subject line if needed.

5.1.2 CallMe Service
The Call-Me service can be used to define any phone at an alternative workplace
as the Call-Me destination at which you can be reached through your own internal
phone number. You can use the UC client (e.g., myPortal for Desktop) at your
alternative workplace exactly as in the office and thus also make outgoing calls
from the Call-Me destination.

Unified Communications
Presence Status and CallMe Service
Inbound Calls
Calls to your internal number are redirected to the CallMe destination. Your
internal phone number is displayed to the caller. Unanswered calls are forwarded
to the voicemail box after 60 seconds.
Outbound Calls
When you dial a number in the UC client (e.g., myPortal for Desktop), the
communication system first calls you at the CallMe destination. If you answer the
call, the communication system then calls the desired destination and connects
you with it. Your internal phone number is displayed at the destination (One
Number Service).
Presence Status
When the Call-Me service is enabled, the message "Call-Me active" appears
in the display of your phone (not for analog and DECT phones). Other subscribers
will see your presence status as Office.
Activation
You can activate the CallMe service manually. In addition, the CallMe service is
also reactivated by an automatic reset of the Presence status following an
absence, provided it was active earlier. Then following types of CallMe
destinations are not supported:
•
Group
•
Redirected telephone
Deactivation
The CallMe service remains active until your Presence status changes.

5.1.3 Status-based Call Forwarding
Status-based call forwarding enables you to forward calls based on your
Presence status to one of your additional phone numbers or your voicemail box.
You can configure status-based call forwarding for every Presence status except
Office, CallMe and Do Not Disturb. When you change your Presence status, the
communication system activates call forwarding to the destination defined by you
for this purpose. For example, if you are away from the office, to your mobile
phone or if you are on vacation, to your representative.

5.1.4 Rule-Based Call Forwarding
Rules-based call forwarding enables you to forward calls based on numerous
conditions and exceptions even more flexibly than with status-based call
forwarding, e.g., to forward calls from unknown contacts to your voicemail box.
In addition, rule-based call forwarding also supports:
•
Any destinations
•
Presence status Office, CallMe and Do Not Disturb
You can define rules are activate or deactivate them at any time by using the
Rules wizard. A rule can only be active if your phone has not been forwarded.
Status-based call forwarding (except to the voicemail box) overrides rule-based
call forwarding.
When a call forwarding rule is active, its name appears on the display of your
telephone.
When an inbound call is received, the communication system checks the
applicability of the active rule in accordance with its sequential order in the Rules
wizard. Only the first applicable rule is executed. In this case, your phone will ring
once, and the communication system will then forward your call to the defined
destination.
You can define several types of conditions and exceptions (except when ...) in one
rule. However, you cannot define a condition with an exception of the same type.
For example, it is not possible to define a condition of the type "On certain
weekdays" together with an exception of the type "Except on certain weekdays".
Types of Conditions and Exceptions
•
(except) for certain Presence status
•
(except) from certain people (in the internal directory, external directory,
personal directory or from any station number)
•
(except) when transferred to you from certain people (in the internal directory,
external directory, personal directory or from any station number)
•
(except) from a certain type, i.e., internal, external or Unknown Contact
•
(except) on a certain date (also on multiple dates)
•
(except) on certain weekdays
•
(except) between a certain Start and End date
•

the entries are sorted. For example, you could jump to the first Last Name starting
with "Sen" one letter at a time. This method can also be used in the results of a
search. The modern interface of myPortal for Desktop does not support zooming

5.2.2 Favorites List
The Favorites list provides you with a constant view of selected contacts. These
contacts can also be called very easily directly from the Favorites list. All internal
subscribers with system telephones and, with the classic user interface also
external XMPP communication partners, are shown together with their Presence
status and can be contacted via instant messaging.

Directories and Journal
You can add contacts from all directories to the Favorites list. For favorites that do
not come from the internal directory, instead of the symbol for the Presence
status, the symbol for the source of the contact is displayed.
The Favorites list manages contacts in groups. The contacts in all groups can be
sorted by First Name, Last Name or their original sorting order.
When an internal subscriber is absent, you can determine the scheduled time of
his or her return by positioning the mouse pointer over the entry for that
subscriber, provided the subscriber has allowed his or her Presence status to be
visible to you.
For favorites with multiple phone numbers, you can specify a default number with
which the contact is to be called. The default phone number of a favorite can be
determined in the context menu from the symbol with the activated check box.
For each entry in the Favorites list, the modern user interface additionally displays
the image and info text on the presence status of the user in the overview, to the
extent that this is available. The Details view includes, among other things, the
standard phone number and context-sensitive buttons, e.g., for Make Call, Take
Call, Send Instant Message and Add to Conference.

quickly and easily call your contacts again or to respond to missed calls.
Folder for Call Types
The calls are arranged on the following tabs:
•

Contains the unanswered missed calls for which a call number was
transmitted. As soon as you answer one of these calls, all associated entries
with that call number are dropped from the list.
•

•
Outbound (classic user interface)
•
Scheduled
Contains all the calls that you have scheduled for specific dates/times. The
Scheduled Calls feature is not available to Contact Center agents. In order for
the communication system to execute a scheduled call, myPortal for Desktop
must be open at the scheduled time; your presence status must be Office or
CallMe, and you must confirm the execution of the call in a dialog. If you are
busy at the time the scheduled call is to be made, the communication system
defers the scheduled call until you are free again. myPortal for Desktop
informs you of any pending scheduled calls on exiting the program. On
starting the application, myPortal for Desktop notifies you about any
scheduled calls for which the scheduled time has elapsed. You can then either
delete such calls or save them with a new scheduled time.
Not all folders for call types are available in the modern user interface myPortal
for Desktop.
Grouped by time period (classic user interface)
The calls in all folders are grouped by the same criterion, as selected by you:
•
Date (for example, Today, Yesterday, etc., Last Week, Two Weeks Ago,
Three Weeks Ago, Last Month and Older)
•
Phone number
•
Last Name,First Name
•
First Name, Last Name
•
Company
The number of Journal entries contained in the group is displayed on the right of
the group designation in parentheses. The grouping by time period is not
available in the modern user interface of myPortal for Desktop.
Call Details
Every call is shown with the date and time and, if available, with the call number.
If a directory contains further details on the call number such as the Last Name,
First Name and Company, then this information is also shown. In addition, the
Direction, Duration and Call Complete columns are also displayed in most
folders. Not all call details are available in the modern user interface of myPortal
for desktop.

Sorting (classic user interface)
You can sort the calls in the Journal by any column in ascending or descending
alphanumeric order. The direction in which the triangle at a column header is
pointing indicates the ascending or descending order. Sorting is not available in
the modern user interface of myPortal for Desktop.
Zooming in on an entry (classic user interface)
You can zoom in on a specific entry one character at a time in the column by which
the entries are sorted. For example, you could jump to the first Last Name starting
with "Sen" one letter at a time. This method can also be used in the results of a
search. Zooming in on an entry is not available in the modern user interface of
myPortal for Desktop.
Retention Period
The communication system saves a record of the calls in the Journal for a
maximum period of time, which can be configured by the administrator. As a
subscriber, you can reduce this time. After the retention period expires, the
communication system automatically deletes all associated entries.
Export
You can export the log data for the current day manually or automatically to a CSV
file. The storage location of the CSV file can be freely selected. Once a manual
export is completed, a window appears with a link to the generated CSV file
containing the exported journal data.
The automatic export is performed:
•
on exiting
•
at midnight, provided is active
The file is named according to the scheme <phone number>-<yyyymmdd>.csv. If
the file already exists, the data is appended to it. The file contains the journal data
of all call types except Open and Scheduled in the following fields: Start Date,
Start Time, End Date, End Time, From, To, First Name, Last Name, Company,
Direction, Duration, Status and Domain.

5.3.3 Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer
Using the Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer, you can call a selected destination
or a destination copied to the clipboard from many applications such as an editor
or an Outlook e-mail.
Depending on the type of string used, the Dialer works as follows:
•
A phone number in canonical format is dialed directly.
•
A station number in dialable format is dialed directly if the communication
system can decide whether an internal or external destination is involved.
Otherwise, the user is asked to make the appropriate selection.
•
A string of letters is searched in the directories as a first name or last name.
The Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer are executed after a definable time
period. Within this time period, you can still cancel the dialing. If you change the
default value of 3s to 0s, the dialing will occur immediately.
Windows applications that were implemented with standard Windows-compliant
components usually support the Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer, but 16-bit
applications do not.

Dialer (default: Shift+Ctrl+D).
INFO: If you want to cancel the dialing of a number, click within
five seconds in the Desktop Dialing screen pop on the Close
symbol.

5.3.4 Screen Pops
Screen pops (also called tray pops or pop-up windows) offer you convenient ways
to respond to incoming calls or new voicemails with a single click, for example.
A screen pop appears in the lower right corner of the screen. You can enable or

to an icon on the task bar.
The screen pop can also be displayed in a new user interface. In this interface,
the symbols described below are grouped differently and have a slightly different
appearance. The new user interface can either display a small or large image of
the communication partner. The new user interface is not possible with
OpenScape Office.

be operated at 1 height unit so that pop-ups remain visible and
easily accessible

The virtual conference room enables you to follow a conference and its
participants in a graphical environment and to also manage the conference if you
are the conference controller. The virtual conference room shows the phone
number, name and presence status to the conference participants, where
available. The virtual conference room is only available in the classic user
interface. Corresponding functions are available in the workspace of the modern
user interface.

•
Inbound:
The conference participants or conference controller dials into the conference
using the dial-in number.
While participating in a conference, making a call or accepting another call
disconnects the participant from the conference.
Dial-in number
The administrator can change the conference dial-in numbers that were set up
during the basic installation. You can display the dial-in number for a conference.
Conference Controller
The initiator of a conference is automatically the conference controller until this is
explicitly changed. Depending on the type of conference, the controller can:
•
Add or remove conference participants:
Removed participants do not remain in the conference.
•
Disconnect or reconnect conference participants:
Disconnected participants remain in the conference. When the conference
controller is connecting a conference participant, all other conference
participants remain connected to one another. If there is only one participant
connected, that participant will hear music on hold.
•
Record a conference
Conferences in which a participant is on hold cannot be recorded.
•
Set another internal participant on the same node as the conference controller
•
Leave the conference without ending it:
The longest attending internal participant of the conference automatically
becomes the conference controller.
•
End the conference
Conference tone
When connecting or disconnecting a conference participant, the other participants
hear the conference tone. The administrator can activate or deactivate the
conference tone.
Conference Participants
Conference participants can leave the conference and optionally dial-into it again
(scheduled and permanent conferences). As long as a conference has only one
participant, the participant hears music on hold. The administrator can specify
whether multiple external conference participants are allowed. The maximum
number of external conference participants is determined, among other things, by
the number of available trunks.
Automatic Termination without a Conference Controller
If there are only external subscribers left in a conference, the participants will hear
an alert tone after a specified time period. Following a further timeout, the
conference is automatically terminated by the communication system. The
administrator can change these timeouts.

Notification by E-mail and Outlook Appointment
The system can automatically notify conference participants by e-mail and, for
scheduled conferences, additionally through an Outlook appointment as an
attachment (.ics):
Event

Notified conference
participants
all
Outlook appointment
Automatic creation
Delete the conference
Automatic deletion
Reschedule the conference
Automatic update
Adding conference
participants
Those affected
Remove conference
participants
Automatic creation (those
affected)
Automatic deletion (those

This requires the administrator to have configured the sending of e-mails. In
addition, an internal conference participant must have specified his or her e-mail
address. For external conference participants, the initiator of the conference must
enter their individual e-mail addresses.
INFO: For e-mail notifications, no return acknowledgments are
obtained for failed deliveries or absence messages, since the emails are sent directly from the system due to the integration of
Web Collaboration.
Further Calls
While participating in a conference, making a call or accepting another call
disconnects the participant from the conference.
Park, Toggle/Connect
The Park and Toggle/Connect features are not available in a conference.
Call Charges
Toll charges are assigned to the party who set up the toll call. When a conference
is transferred to another conference controller, all further charges are assigned to
that controller.
Video Monitoring
Any ongoing video transmission must be terminated before participating in a
conference.

5.4.1 Ad-hoc Conference
An ad-hoc conference occurs spontaneously and is started manually by the
conference controller. The conference controller can save ad-hoc conferences in
order to set them up again at some later point in time.
Starting the Conference
The system opens the window with the virtual conference room automatically for
all internal conference participants, provided they have started
myPortal for Desktop with the classic user interface or myPortal for Outlook. The
system calls all conference participants simultaneously. On joining the
conference, each conference participant hears a greeting announcement with the
name of the conference controller.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference manually for themselves or for all
connected internal conference participants, provided the live recording of calls
has been activated in the system. Participants located in the own node receive
the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes, via e-mail. The
duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage capacity of the
system.
Ending the Conference
The conference controller can end the conference in the client or simply hang up.
Alternatively, the conference ends when all conference participants have left the
conference.
Expanding a Call to a Conference
An internal subscriber who is conducting a call can convert the call to an ad-hoc
conference and add further subscribers. For this, the subscriber must have a UC
Suite Conference license.
This feature is not available with OpenScape Office.

5.4.2 Scheduled Conference
A scheduled conference (Meet-Me conference) occurs at some point in the future
with a defined duration and may be set up to recur repeatedly at the same time.
A scheduled conference will run for the entire scheduled duration even if there are
no connected participants. The conference controller saves a scheduled
conference under a specified name.
Options for Configuring a Scheduled Conference
The initiator of the conference can define the following properties:
•
Start time and End time
•
Recurring conference
•
Presence of conference controller required
•
Authentication of conference participants on joining the conference required
(by entering a conference ID and password via the phone keypad).
INFO: Mobility Entry users must enter the code for DTMF suffix
dialing before their authentication.
The default password for conferences is 123456. The conference controller
can change this for the conference participants individually.
•
Language of the announcements and invitations by e-mail (by default, this is
the language of the voicemail box).
•
Direction for the connection setup for each conference participant (default:
outbound).
Starting the Conference
The system opens the window with the virtual conference room at the scheduled
time automatically for all internal conference participants, provided they have
started myPortal for Desktop with the classic user interface or
myPortal for Outlook. If the presence of the conference controller is required, the
system first calls the controller. After the successful authentication of the
controller, all the other conference participants are called simultaneously.
Conference participants who have forwarded their calls to their voicemail boxes
or who are determined to be absent by their presence status are not called.
Depending on how the connection setup has been configured, the system calls
the conference participants or the participants can dial in themselves. The system
98
A31003-P3010-U102-16-7619, 03/2014
myPortal for Desktop, User Guide
Unified Communications
Conferences
announces every participant who joins the conference by name, as in: "... has
joined the conference", provided the initiator has recorded his or her name
announcement.
INFO: In order to enable the participants of a conference you
have scheduled without authentication to hear the name
announcement at the start of the conference, you will need to
have first already initiated a conference with authentication on
one occasion.
Dialing In
Every conference participant can use the dial-in number to dial into the
conference within the scheduled time period, regardless of which direction for the
conference setup was set for that participant. Attempts to dial into the conference
outside the scheduled time period result in a corresponding announcement.
Forcing Authentication with the Star (*) Key
The conference controller can set the conference so that each conference
participant is forced to provide authentication by at least by pressing the * key.
This ensures that only the participants who are actually present are connected to
the conference, as opposed to a voicemail box, for example.
Extending the Conference
Ten minutes before the scheduled end of the conference, the participants hear an
announcement indicating that the conference is about to end and are offered the
option of extending the conference by dialing a specific digit. Any conference
participant can extend the conference by dialing that specific digit. The
conference controller can extend the conference in myPortal for Outlook at any
time.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference automatically or manually for
themselves or for all connected internal conference participants, provided the live
recording of calls has been activated in the system. Participants located in the
own node receive the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes,
via e-mail. The duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage
capacity of the system.
Ending the Conference
The conference ends at the time scheduled for the end of the conference or if the
conference controller terminates the conference.

5.4.5 Web Collaboration Integration
Together with myPortal for Desktop (Windows) and myPortal for Outlook, the
system also supports the convenient integration of the separate product
OpenScape Web Collaboration for simultaneous multi-media collaboration during
phone calls as well as phone-controlled and application-controlled
teleconferences. This gives you quick access to functions such as desktop and
application sharing, file sharing, co-browsing, whiteboarding, URL Push, IM chat
and video chat with multiple participants.
For the integration of Web Collaboration, the address of the Web Collaboration
server must be known to the communication system.
Supported Types of Connections
The Web Collaboration integration supports phone calls as well as the following
types of application-controlled phone conferences of the system:
•
Ad-hoc conference
•
Scheduled conference
•
Permanent conference
A web collaboration session can be started during a phone conversation (a
conference) via the screen pop.
On initiating or configuring a telephone conference, the conference controller can
start one Web Collaboration session for simultaneous use with the same
participants. On rescheduling, deleting or ending a conference call, the related
Web Collaboration session is also rescheduled or deleted automatically.
When the web collaboration session is started, the Web Collaboration Client
opens. No local installation is required on the desktop for this purpose. More
information can be found in the Web Collaboration product documentation.

INFO: In order to enable clients to start a Web Collaboration
session automatically, proxy authentication must be disabled on
the server.
Connecting to the Web Collaboration Session
Internal conference participants with UC PC clients are automatically connected
to the appropriate Web Collaboration session on starting the conference. To do
this, FastViewer is automatically downloaded and opened in the background,
which may take several seconds. External conference participants with known email addresses receive an e-mail with an appropriate link to the Web
Collaboration session.
INFO: Users of a Mac OS must copy the link for the Web
Collaboration session into the web browser.
For a scheduled conference, it is possible to connect to the Web Collaboration
session as early as 5 minutes before the start of the scheduled conference.
Conference ID and Password
The conference ID and password for a Web Collaboration session are identical to
the conference ID and password of the associated phone conference.
Instant Messaging and Web Collaboration
Note that Instant Messaging of the system and Instant Messaging of a
Web Collaboration session are mutually independent, i.e.: the instant messages
from a UC client do not appear in a Web Collaboration session of the same
participant, and vice versa.

a group to each group member. As soon as one of the subscribers has listened
to a new message, that message is flagged as "played" for all group members. If
a group member deletes a message, that entry is also deleted for all other group

Custom Profiles for the Personal AutoAttendant
For every Presence status there is a custom profile in which you can define the
choices for your callers. You can activate or deactivate each profile separately. By
default, no profile is active. When you deactivate a profile, the default behavior of
your voicemail applies to the Presence status involved.
Announcements
When this profile is activated, the voicemail box plays back the following
announcements:
•
Name announcement:
If you have enabled dynamic announcements, the name announcement you
recorded is used for the greeting, unless your Presence status is Office,
CallMe or Do Not Disturb.
•
Dynamic announcements:
If you have enabled dynamic announcements, the voicemail box generates
situation-based announcements for your Presence status (except for Office,
CallMe and Do Not Disturb) with an indication of the scheduled time of your
return, e.g., "... is in a meeting until two thirty p.m. today".
You can activate or deactivate the playback of dynamic announcements
individually for each profile. If the dynamic announcements for a profile have
been enabled, you can activate or deactivate the announcements for your
Presence status for certain callers and for all external callers separately.
•
Personal announcement for the profile:
Before you activate a profile, you must record a personal announcement for
this profile that indicates to your caller the appropriate digits and associated
choices, e.g.: To leave a message, press 1. To speak with my representative,
press 2. To forward this call to my mobile phone, press 3." When you disable
dynamic announcements for the profile, you may find it useful to start your
personal announcement by indicating your Presence status.
The voicemail box plays back announcements for a profile in the following order
(from left to right):
