Managing Receipts

Managing Receipts by Phone

When you check messages by phone, Cisco Unity Connection plays receipts along with your other messages. You play and manage receipts by phone in the same way as other messages, except that you cannot reply to or forward non-delivery receipts (NDRs).

For receipts, you hear a list of the recipients who received the message you sent and/or played it. For NDRs, Connection identifies recipients whose mailboxes did not accept the message.

After you play an NDR, Connection allows you to play the original message and resend it to the recipient(s) who failed to receive it. You can record an introduction, modify the recipient list, and change delivery options when resending a message. Once you resend the message, Connection automatically deletes the NDR for you.

This section contains two procedures for checking messages by phone. Do the applicable procedure, depending on whether you are using touchtone keys or voice commands.

The procedures use keypad mappings for the standard conversation and voice commands. Keypad mappings for other conversations are provided in the "Cisco Unity Connection Voice Commands and Phone Menus" chapter. Ask your Connection administrator which conversation you are set up to use.

To Manage Receipts by Phone Using Voice Commands


Step 1 Log on to Cisco Unity Connection.

Step 2 When Connection asks "What do you want to do," say:

"Play Receipts." Connection tells you the total number of receipts that you have, then plays them.

Or

"Play <new/saved/deleted> receipts." Connection tells you the number of receipts that meet your criteria, then plays them.

Managing Receipts in the Cisco Unity Inbox Web Tool

In the Cisco Unity Inbox web tool, Cisco Unity Connection displays receipts along with voice messages. You open receipts in the Cisco Unity Inbox in the same way as voice messages. You can only save or delete receipts and NDRs; you cannot reply to or forward them.

For receipts, you can view the recipients who received the message you sent and/or played it. For NDRs, the Cisco Unity Inbox identifies the recipients whose mailboxes did not accept your message.

As you view an NDR, you can use the Media Master to play the original message and you can resend it to the recipient(s) who did not receive it. You can record an introduction, modify the recipient list, and change delivery options when resending a message. Once you resend a message, the NDR is not automatically deleted as it is when you resend a message by phone. Instead, the NDR remains in the Cisco Unity Inbox until you delete it.

To Manage Receipts in the Cisco Unity Inbox Web Tool


Step 1 In the Cisco Unity Inbox, click the name of the sender to open the receipt.

Step 2 Use the following icons or Message menu options to manage the receipt:

Previous Message

Open the previous message.

Next Message

Open the next message.

Resend Original Message
(for NDRs only)

Resend original message to recipients who failed to receive it. You can record an introduction, modify recipient list, and change delivery options.

Delete

Delete the message.

Save

Save the receipt and any changes, such as marking the message as new or changing the subject, and return to the Cisco Unity Inbox.

Mark Message as Unread

Check this check box to save the message as new.

Close

Cancel the message without saving changes, and return to the Cisco Unity Inbox. The receipt is marked read.
