Other Features

Cascade Directory - Allows you to add a domain users list to the phone's buttons automatically. This can be done in 2 ways:

• Dynamic—This Option auto-fills the button being assigned and all subsequent buttons with dynamic BLFs that update whenever the phone resyncs.
• Static—Auto-fills the button being assigned and all subsequent buttons with static BLFs for the current directory entries.

Add a Sidecar—Clicking "Add Sidecar" will allow you to add buttons to supported expansion modules for supported phones. Updating the buttons is the same process as updating the normal buttons on the phone directly. 

Templates—Templates are a great way to deploy the same button configuration to multiple phones without having to update each one. Add a new template with the settings you want and Apply it to the new devices.
