There are two use cases for shared call appearances:
• Call Group – Users with similar business needs or tasks assigned
to a group can answer any call to the group handsets. A handset
places the call on hold and another handset can retrieve the call.
• Executive/Assistant Arrangement – An appearance exists on
the handsets of both an executive and assistant. The assistant
may answer the calls to the executive and place them on hold for
the executive to pick up. The assistant sees the state of all calls on
the executive’s handset.
Shared Call Appearances support three distinct types of hold behavior:
• Shared Hold, any handset using the Shared Call Appearance can
retrieve the call on hold.
• Privacy Hold, only the handset that placed the call on hold can
retrieve the call.
• Bridged Hold, the handset that placed the call on hold and one
other handset that has the same Shared Call Appearance can
retrieve the call. Users initiate a Bridged Hold by placing an
Intercom call to the second party while the original call is active.
