Chapter 5 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users Configuring Softkey Templates Configuring Softkey Templates Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can manage softkeys associated with applications that are supported by the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7906G and 7911G. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports two types of softkey templates: standard and nonstandard. Standard softkey templates include Standard User and Standard Feature. An application that supports softkeys can have one or more standard softkey templates associated with it. You can modify a standard softkey template by making a copy of it, giving it a new name, and making updates to that copied softkey template. You can also modify a nonstandard softkey template. It is recommended that you use the standard softkey template which excludes features already assigned to programmable buttons and limits the feature set to the most commonly used ones. This template reduces the number of softkeys displayed on the phone at one time, eliminating the need for users to press the more softkey. For more information, see Modifying Phone Button Templates, page 5-22. To configure softkey templates, choose Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a softkey template to a phone, use the Softkey Template field in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone Configuration window. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information. Setting Up Services The Services button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone gives users access to Cisco Unified IP Phone Services. These services comprise XML applications that enable the display of interactive content with text and graphics on the phone. Examples of services include local movie times, stock quotes, and weather reports. OL-14585-01 Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906G and 7911G for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1 5-23

Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users

Configuring Softkey Templates

Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can manage

softkeys associated with applications that are supported by the Cisco Unified IP

Phones 7906G and 7911G. Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports

two types of softkey templates: standard and nonstandard. Standard softkey

templates include Standard User and Standard Feature. An application that

supports softkeys can have one or more standard softkey templates associated

with it. You can modify a standard softkey template by making a copy of it, giving

it a new name, and making updates to that copied softkey template. You can also

modify a nonstandard softkey template.

It is recommended that you use the standard softkey template which excludes

features already assigned to programmable buttons and limits the feature set to the

most commonly used ones. This template reduces the number of softkeys

displayed on the phone at one time, eliminating the need for users to press the

softkey. For more information, see

Modifying Phone Button Templates,

page 5-22

To configure softkey templates, choose

Device > Device Settings > Softkey

Template

from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To

assign a softkey template to a phone, use the Softkey Template field in the

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone Configuration

window. Refer to

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide

and

Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide

for more information.

Setting Up Services

The

Services

button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone gives users access to

Cisco Unified IP Phone Services. These services comprise XML applications that

enable the display of interactive content with text and graphics on the phone.

Examples of services include local movie times, stock quotes, and weather

reports.
