Shared Call Appearance
Shared Call Appearance is a ShoreTel client feature that establishes common Bridged Call
Appearance between a user (executive) and at least one other user (assistant). A Shared Call
Appearance is typically established to allow one or more assistants to manage inbound calls and
initiate outbound calls for an executive.
Programmable Buttons
Executives and Assistant users access aBCAs and the hotline circuit from the ShoreTel Connect client
or ShoreTel Phones through programmable buttons configured for Bridged Call Appearances. Buttons
for Executive Extensions are not configurable as Call Appearances.
