Setting up the Voicemail Queue

After adding/ creating a voicemail queue, you will now be able to set-up the voicemail queue.

The default settings of a Voicemail queue does not record any message so it has to be set-up prior to the use of this feature in the system.

Once you have double-clicked the voicemail queue created (under Queue), it will take you to the Configure Queue window.  Go to the 'Messages' tab and tick 'Enable Voice Message Recording' to enable the feature.
