You can manage AT&T Collaborate calling features that affect how incoming calls are treated. From the Manage Forwarding and Ringing page, you can view and manage these calling features: Anonymous Call Rejection Do Not Disturb Selective Call Acceptance Selective Call Rejection Call Forwarding Always Call Forwarding Busy Call Forwarding No Answer Call Forwarding Not Reachable Call Forwarding Selective Locate Me Simultaneous Ring Locate Me Sequential Ring Virtual Office Voice Management (voicemail forwarding) Note: Only features assigned to you by your administrator appear. Advanced ringing settings provide greater flexibility for ways that callers can reach you. You should be aware of all of your forwarding settings and interactions between the settings. It's a good idea to turn on the fewest settings needed to achieve the result you want. For example, don't turn on Virtual Office, Locate Me Simultaneous Ring, and Locate Me Sequential Ring at the same time. If you're using the Collaborate mobile app's callback method, you must set up your wireless phone number as a Virtual Office location. The Manage Forwarding and Ringing page has 3 sections: Forwarding Preconditions Basic Forwarding Settings (for basic call forwarding features) Advanced Ringing Settings (for advanced call forwarding features) 2016 AT&T Intellectual Property.

Forwarding Preconditions Forwarding preconditions are applied first, before basic and advanced forwarding conditions. Preconditions override basic and advanced conditions. Note: If your administrator turned on Location Night Forwarding for you, it will override your personal settings during the times when Location Night Forwarding applies. Here are some examples of how you might use forwarding preconditions: When you can t accept calls for a few hours, turn on the Do Not Disturb call forwarding precondition. The system temporarily ignores your other forwarding settings and all calls go to voicemail or receive a busy signal. When you don t want to accept calls from callers who hide their caller ID, turn on the Anonymous Call Rejection precondition. Calls without caller ID are automatically rejected. Rejected callers receive a message that states that you're not accepting calls from unidentified callers. When you want to screen calls based on particular phone numbers or times of day, set Selective Call Acceptance and Selective Call Rejection criteria as preconditions. You can define selective criteria rules that evaluate an incoming call to determine whether to pass the call on to your basic or advanced call forwarding settings. Manage call rejection feature settings Call rejection features are listed under Forwarding Preconditions. These features are processed first. If you set a feature or criteria that rejects a call, that feature overrides your forwarding settings. 2.
