4.4 Auto Recording Management
This feature defines whether extensions can check the call recordings or not, we can also set permissions for call recording management.
Figure 20
·Manager
Choose the extension number of the manager. Manager can check the call recordings of the selected extensions in the “Allowed Extensions” on the Web User Interface.
·Enable Auto Recording check
The permission to view recordings
·Recording numbers allowed to check
The number of recordings that users can check. Enter “0” or leave this blank empty, the number will not be limited. Enter “3”, for example, the manager can check the latest 3 recordings at most.
Note: The oldest recording will be covered by the latest recording.
·Auto Recording Delete Permission
The permission of deleting recording
·Auto Recording Download Permission
The permission of downloading recording
·Allowed Extensions
You can decide which extension’s calls will be recorded.
For example, we set the extension 101 as a manager and set yes for “Enable Auto Recording check”. And select 102,103 as allowed extensions. Then tick “Allow Record Internal”. Finally, we make a call from 102 to 103. As a result, if you log in Web User interface of extension 101, you can check recording logs in “Auto Recordings” page. But log in that of 102 or 103, you can’t find the auto recordings since it doesn’t have permission.
