Overview of the Custom Recordings in Unity Connection 10.x
Cisco Unity Connection allows you to play the customized recordings after a message is sent. You can also play the custom recordings after a greeting is played. A greeting is played before the callers are allowed to leave a message for a user or a call handler.
NoteIn Cisco Unity Connection 10.0, the Post Greeting Recordings option is changed to the Custom Recordings option.
In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, after the message is sent, you have the options to play: no recording, default system recording, or custom recordings. Unity Connection allows you to add a new custom recording, modify the existing recording, and delete the existing recording. In addition, you can record multiple custom recordings in various languages that can be played after a message is sent and after a greeting is played.
To record each custom recording, you need to use the Media Master on the Edit Custom Recording page. The custom recordings are configured on the Call Management > Custom Recordings page in Cisco Unity Connection Administration. The Play After Message Recording and Post Greeting Recording options can be set for the following:
- Users
- User Templates
- Call Handlers
- Call Handler Templates
