Account Codes Overview
Account Codes are available to customers who connected prior to 2017.
If your organization is using Account Codes, you should see an additional area on your Home page.

Figure 27 Account Code Area
Account Codes enable your organization to keep track of outgoing phone calls. Each organization uses Account Codes in its own way. If you have an Account Codes list on your Home page, be sure you understand the Account Code dialing policies in your organization. For example, your organization may require Account Codes for all types of calls (local, long distance, and international) or only for some types -- for example, only for international long distance calls. Similarly, your organization may require Account Codes on all phone lines or only on some lines.
For emergency calls, Account Codes are not required.
Verify Your Phone Lines You may be assigned one line or multiple lines. If you have one line, that is most likely the line that is connected to the phone on your desk.
If you have multiple lines, it may be so that you can cover someone else's phone when they are out of the office, or a similar situation. There might also be a shared line that multiple people are assigned to, such as an incoming sales line.
One of your phone lines will likely be considered your primary line (corresponding to a

phone on your desk), and the others will be shared with other people. Your lines may also be assigned to one or more Voice Manager administrators in your organization.
At any time, you can view the settings and features for each of your lines by selecting the Preferences tab and selecting a phone line from the Select line drop-down menu.
