Setting Your VoiceMail Greetings
Dartmouth's new phone system has 4 types of voicemail greetings you can use:
"unavailable" allows you to record a voicemail greeting for when you are at work but not answering your phone;
"busy" is the greeting for phones that are included in a Dial Plan (i.e., call tree) and the call queue is busy.
"name" is where you just record your name. This would then get prepended to the standard greeting (e.g. "john doe is not available. Leave a message.")
"temporary" is when your regular unavailable message is not pertinent (e.g. you're on vacation). If you record a temporary message, it is automatically the message that callers hear until you go in and erase the temporary message. Erasing the temporary message automatically makes the unavailable or name message the one that callers hear, as appropriate. You do not need to re-record your unavailable and name messages.
There are a few different ways in which you can access GoToConnect's voicemail system. (See How do I add a voicemail greeting? - GoToConnect Support for details.) The steps below work when using GoToConnect Desktop and Mobile, and/or your desk phone at Dartmouth. They do not work with a phone that is not part of Dartmouth's phone system (e.g. a home phone). If you are at home and need to update the voicemail greeting on your Dartmouth phone, and do not have GoToConnect installed on a computer or cell phone that is with you, log into my.jive.com then follow these directions.
