Turning Call Forwarding Always on and off

Use the Call Forwarding Always feature in Receptionist Console to forward incoming calls ringing to your direct line to a number you specify. It won't change your ACD status and you'll continue to get calls that come from the queue (if you're available). By default, the feature is turned on.
