Create a New List or Change Attributes of a List

Use the Create a New List page to create a new Enterprise List. You must administer Enterprise List ID ranges before you can create any Enterprise Lists.

Use the Change Attributes of a List page to modify an existing Enterprise List.

Note: After you have created or edited an Enterprise List, run a List Detail report to verify the list contents.

This page contains the following fields.

List ID: This field contains a unique network address that subscribers use to send messages to an Enterprise List. For an existing list, this field displays the network address for that Enterprise List. When you are creating a new list, use one of the following methods to assign a network address:

  • Type the network address to assign to this Enterprise List. The length of this network address must match the List ID length on the Enterprise Lists System Parameters page.
    • If the ID length is valid, the system checks whether the ID is already associated with an existing Enterprise List.
    • If the input duplicates an existing network address, the following message is displayed: "xxxx Is an existing subscriber! Do you want to use the system picked value xxxxx for List ID?" Click OK to accept this list ID.
  • Leave this field blank and allow the system to assign a valid List ID. The following message is displayed: "Do you want to use the system picked value xxxxx for List ID?" Click OK to accept this list ID.

Note: Do not use 0000000000 to 0000000009 as Enterprise List IDs as these can be reserved for system mailboxes on some remote machines.

Voice Name Recorded: This display-only field indicates whether a voice name has been recorded for this Enterprise List. The list owner, who must be a valid subscriber on the Message Networking system, is the only person who can record the voice name. To record a voice name for the list, record a priority message for the voice name mailbox for the Enterprise List.

List Name: Use this field to define a name for this Enterprise List. List names can be a maximum of 30 characters, including numbers, letters, commas, colons, underscores, and apostrophes.

Owner: Type the name or partial name for the subscriber that you want to specify as the owner of this Enterprise List. If the following Numeric Address Format field is set to Yes, type the numeric address for the subscriber. Click Look Up. In the following Subscriber Name field, the system displays a list of subscribers, including their subscriber name, network address, and remote machine name.

Subscriber Name: This field displays a partial entry from either the Owner or Moderator fields on this page. When you click Look Up on the Create a New List or Change Attributes of a List pages, the system displays all system subscribers that match the partial entry. From that list, select the subscriber that you want to designate as the owner or moderator, and then click Select. The network address for that subscriber displays in the appropriate field.

Note: The owner, who must be a valid subscriber on the Message Networking system, is the only person who can change the voice name, which is enabled from this page.

Numeric Address Format?: This format allows an alternate method for Modular Messaging systems to address messages to subscribers on other remote systems. Use this format if members of this list are subscribers on another remote system. Select Yes to allow system address entries in numeric format for both owner and moderator. Select No to allow system address entries in network format only for both owner and moderator.

Voice Name ID Active?: If you want to use a voice name for this Enterprise List, select Yes. If you select Yes in this field, the system requires you to assign a voice name ID in the field that follows. Select No if you do not want to use a voice name for this Enterprise List.

Note: The default voice name for an Enterprise List is the voice name that the list owner has recorded. To record a new voice name for the list, record a priority message for the voice name mailbox for the Enterprise List.

Voice Name ID: If the Voice Name field is set to Yes, the system requires a voice name ID for this Enterprise List. You can assign a network address or allow the system to assign one automatically. Use one of the following methods to define the network address for the voice name mailbox:

  • Type a valid voice name ID. The system validates the ID length.
    • If the ID length is valid, the system checks whether the ID is already associated with an existing Enterprise List.
    • If the ID you typed duplicates an existing ID, the following message is displayed: "xxxxx Is an existing subscriber! Do you want to use the system picked value xxxxx for Voice Name ID?" Click OK to accept this voice name ID.
  • Leave this field blank and allow the system to assign a valid voice name ID. The following message is displayed: "Do you want to use the system picked value xxxxx for Voice Name ID?" Click OK to accept this voice name ID.

Subscription Based?: Use this field to define whether lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) clients can request being added to the list. Select Yes to allow or No to deny LDAP clients the ability to request being added to this list.

Reply Enable?: Use this field to define whether this list is enabled for replies and the type of replies to allow:

  • No Reply: When you select this option, message recipients cannot send a reply. When Reply Enable? is set to No Reply, the sender of the Enterprise List message is a system mailbox on the Message Networking system, and a no reply earcon is included in the voice message. If a recipient does reply, the reply is sent back to the system mailbox and is deleted.
    Note: For Modular Messaging, no reply is offered to the recipient.
  • Reply: When you select this option, message recipients can send a reply to the originator. When Reply Enable? is set to Reply, the sender of the Enterprise List message is the original sender.
  • Reply To All: When you select this option, message recipients can send a reply to all recipients of the message. When Reply Enable? is set to Reply to All, the sender of the Enterprise List message is the list itself, and the option to reply to all is included in the the voice message.

Note: Be very careful when using Reply To All. Set this parameter to Yes only if the list size is relatively small. For example, if you send a message to a list comprising 1,000 recipients and this field is set to Reply To All, 1,000,000 messages would be generated if everyone replied.

Delivery Failure Message?: Use this field to specify whether you want the system to notify message senders when recipients do not receive a message. On this page, you can also choose the format for these messages: voice, fax, or text. Voice and text notifications can be delivered in the language that the message sender prefers. However, fax notifications are U.S. English only. Select Yes if you want the system to notify the sender when recipients of this Enterprise List do not receive a message. Select No if you do not want the system to notify the sender when recipients of this Enterprise List fail to receive a message.

The default for this field is No.

Delivery Status Message?: Use this field to specify whether you want the system to notify message senders of the status of their messages (sent, delivered, failed, or accessed). On this page, you can also choose the format for notifying message senders: voice, fax, or text. Voice and text notifications can be delivered in the language that the message sender prefers. However, fax notifications are U.S. English only. Select Yes if you want the system to generate delivery status messages for senders who use this Enterprise List. Select No if you do not want the system to generate delivery status messages for senders who use this Enterprise List.

The default for this field is No.

Voice?: Use this field to generate delivery failure and delivery status messages in voice format, which can be in the language that the user prefers. Select Yes if you want the system to generate delivery failure and delivery status messages in voice format for this Enterprise List. Select No if you do not want the system to deliver messages in voice format.

Fax?: Use this field to generate delivery failure and delivery status messages in fax format. Messages generated in fax format are U.S. English only. Select Yes to generate delivery failure and delivery status messages for this Enterprise List in fax format. Select No if you do not want the system to deliver messages in fax format.

Text?: Use this field to generate delivery failure and delivery status messages in text format, which can be in the language that the user prefers. Select Yes if you want the system to generate delivery failure and delivery status messages in text format for this Enterprise List. Select No if you do not want the system to deliver messages in text format.

ELA Filter?: This filter prevents members from receiving duplicate messages when they are referenced in both the Enterprise List and Enhanced List Application (ELA) lists (INTUITY AUDIX and Modular Messaging with an Avaya Message Store systems). Select Yes if you want to apply the ELA filter to this Enterprise List. Select No if you do not want to apply the ELA filter. The default for this field is No.

Moderator Active?: Use this field to specify whether you want to activate a moderator for this Enterprise List. When a moderator is active, messages sent to that Enterprise List are delivered to the moderator for approval before being sent to the list members. Select Yes if you want to activate a moderator for this Enterprise List. Select No if you do not want to activate a moderator for this Enterprise List.

Note: The moderator role is only supported for simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) or multipurpose Internet mail extension (MIME) systems. A moderator must be a valid subscriber on an SMTP remote machine, such as Modular Messaging.

Moderator: If the Moderator Active field is set to Yes, type the name or partial name of the subscriber that you want to specify as the moderator for this Enterprise List. If the following Numeric Address Format field is set to Yes, type the numeric address of the subscriber. Click Look Up. In the following Subscriber Name field, the system displays a list of subscribers, including their subscriber names, network addresses, and remote machine names.

Subscriber Name: This field displays a partial entry from either the Moderator or Owner fields on this page. When you click Look Up on the Create a New List or Change Attributes of a List pages, the system displays all system subscribers that match the partial entry. From that list, select the subscriber that you want to designate as the moderator, and then click Select. The network address for that subscriber displays in the Moderator field.

Numeric Address Format?: Select Yes if the address for the moderator is in numeric format. Select No if the address for the moderator is in network format.

System Delivery Override?:

  • Select Yes to override the system-wide delivery schedule for this Enterprise List and send messages immediately. The system-wide delivery schedule is set on the Enterprise Lists System Parameters page.
  • Select No to maintain the set system-wide delivery schedule for this Enterprise List.

The default for this field is No.

Note: Avaya strongly recommends that messages for large lists be sent during off-peak times. This is especially true when the lists involve analog connectivity due to its slower performance.

Creator: This display-only field contains one of the following:

  • Login ID (if a system administrator created the list)
  • Subscriber network address (if a subscriber created the list through an external third-party LDAP client)

Last Updated Time: On the Change Attributes of a List page, this display-only field contains one of the following:

  • Date and time the Enterprise List was created
  • Date and time the Enterprise List was most recently modified (this field is populated when you first save the list, and then updated each time you modify it)

The following buttons are displayed at the bottom of this page:

  • Back: Click this button to return to the Manage Enterprise Lists page.
  • Return to Main: Click this button to return to the Administration menu.
  • Save: Click this button to save or update an Enterprise List.
  • Help: Click this button to get information about this page.
