Merlin Messaging VMB Lists

[gregarican]

I know that an enduser can setup Personal Group Lists to send a VM message to a group of mailboxes. Our old Octel 50 system had a global group list of all mailboxes. This way we could send a broadcast message to everyone without manually adding all of the VMB'es to a list.

Does the Merlin Messaging system have such a function? Our system is a Release 2.5 version. Any pointers would be appreciated

From the System Manager's Reference:

Programming System Group Lists (Release 2
or later)
You can program up to ten System Group Lists that allow users to address a
message to a group of mailboxes. Up to 50 Mailbox Extensions can be included
in each System Group List. A Mailbox Extension can be in more than one
System Group List.

This is option 7 after logging into the System Administrator's Mailbox and accessinf the Programming menu

Yeah I read this in the manual right after I posted my question I now have 6 employee system group lists that will have to be chosen one at a time to hit all employees. We have over 50 total employees so this is the only way to really do it.

The old Octel 50 was nice because you could nest subgroups under other groups. So we had the separate employee subgroups and then rolled those subgroups into the main group list for everyone. Oh well, it works in any event now so that's fine.

Thanks for the reply!
