About Feature Control Policy Setup
To generate a list of supported features for all phones on your Cisco Unified Communications Manager, including the Feature Control Policy, you can generate a Unified CM Phone Feature List report on Cisco Unified Reporting.
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the menu path to configure feature control policies.
Feature Control Policies allows you to enable or disable a particular feature and thereby control the appearance of certain features and softkeys that display on the phone. You can configure multiple policies on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. After you configure a Feature Control Policy, you must associate that policy to an individual phone, a group of phones, or to all phones in the system.
Note |
You can customize the appearance of softkeys on other Cisco Unified IP Phones by using softkey templates. |
