Using the operator console

To have access to the Operator console, the FortiVoice system administrator must assign the operator role (Phone System > Profile > User Privilege > Operator Role) to your extension.

In the Operator console, you can perform the following tasks:

• Process phone calls on the web as your organization’s phone operator.
• Manage hotel room status.

Opening the operator console

• Transfer the call by dragging and dropping it to an extension (or the voicemail of an extension) in Idle, In Use, Busy, Ringing, or On Hold status in the Directory widget.
• Park the call
• Hold the call

In the Active Call widget, you can filter the calls by category, direction, and status. The Call filter has the following options:

• All: Displays all phone calls.
• Short: Displays ringing calls and calls to and from the operator extension.
