Checking to see what numbers are forwarded to a certain extension 3

[ksalce]

Hello,
A user called me and said he's been receiving weird calls lately that were meant for someone else. He thinks someone has their externsion forwarded to him but he doesn't know who. Is there a way to see what numbers are forwarded to a certain extension? I've look everywhere but couldn't find anything in the phone system. Thanks.

If you looked everywhere you should have found it =)

Right-click on Users in the tree and select Customise Columns., the you can select to show Forward Number on each user among others.

Customise vs. customize

In the U.S. and Canada, it’s customize, customized, customizing, customization, customizable, etc. Outside North America, it’s customise, customised, customising, customisation, customisable, etc.

Customize is a mid-20th-century American creation, so the z spelling is the original. The word is so new that some dictionaries, including the main British ones, have yet to recognize customise etc., but that spelling is now very common in all sorts of texts from outside North America. In recent British news stories, for instance, customise appears about 20 times for every customize. In Canada and the U.S., meanwhile, customize appears about 500 times for every customise

The above quote is wrong, the S spelling is the original...but you get the gist (editing seems broken)

The use of the 'ize' versus 'ise' for certain words is much older than mid-20th century. It has its roots in the varying influences of Latin, Germanic and French on what became written English. It began 'ize' (Latin), went 'ise' (Norman French), back to 'ize' (German 'bless King George') and then for Brits back to 'ise' (just for the hell of it)(expect for the boring posh farts from Oxford and the legal world who never ever strayed from the original Latin 'ize' root).

The American English usage of 'ize' reflects what was the state of play in the immediate post-Independence period.

That said its a total minefield as both versions of English also have as many cases where the same word is only ever spelt 'ize' (seize, size, prize, ...), and ditto for certain other words that are only being spelt 'ise' (devise, revise, rise, ...).

On the whole, when it is switchable, either is acceptable and will be understood by everyone except the most pointless pedant except for one exception - using the word "burglarize" gets you flagged immediately as a Yank, all proper people know its "burgle".
