First Name
The first name of the contact.
Last Name
The last name of the contact.
Display Name
Enter a descriptive name for the contact.
Consider the following as you enter display names for users, contacts, and distribution lists:

Voice Name
This is the recorded name of the user, system contact, distribution list, or handler. You can record the name here, or a user can record the name by using the self-enrollment conversation, the setup options, or by using the Cisco Unity Assistant.
To record the voice name here, use the Media Master. Use the Open File option on the Options menu of the Media Master to use a prerecorded WAV file as the recording.
List in Directory
Check this check box to list the contact in directory assistance, which outside callers can use to reach users and contacts.
Partition
Select the partition to which the object belongs. Partitions are grouped together into search spaces, which are used to define the scope of objects (for example, users and distribution lists) that a user or outside caller can reach while interacting with Cisco Unity Connection. Most objects can belong only to one partition; the exception is users, who can have their primary extension in one partition and alternate extensions in other partitions. A partition can belong to more than one search space.
Note that extensions must be unique within a partition, and that partitions can contain objects that do not have an associated extension (for example, some contacts and system distribution lists).
Transfer Enabled
If you want Cisco Unity Connection to transfer incoming calls to a phone number that is associated with a contact, check this check box and enter the phone number in the Transfer Extension field.
Transfer Extension
When the Transfer Enabled check box is checked, Cisco Unity Connection transfers incoming calls to the phone number that is entered in this field.
When entering a phone number, include any applicable outdial access codes.
Delivery Location
Click the VPIM location for the VPIM contact.
VPIM Remote Mailbox Number
Enter the mailbox number for the VPIM contact on the remote voice messaging system.
Local Extension
For VPIM contacts, you can assign a local extension that fits into the Cisco Unity Connection extension numbering scheme. A local extension allows callers to address messages to the VPIM contact by using an extension, rather than having to know the location ID and the remote mailbox number of the contact.
In addition, if you set the Transfer Enabled and Transfer Extension fields, callers are able to identify and be transferred to the VPIM contact.
Phone Numbers to Call Contact by Using Voice Commands
Use the Dialed Work Phone, Dialed Home Phone, and Dialed Mobile Phone fields when you want voice recognition users to be able to call system contacts by specifying a phone type for the contact.
For dialed phone numbers, include any additional numbers necessary to dial outside calls (for example, 9) and for long-distance dialing (for example, 1).
Phone Numbers to Identify Contact for Personal Call Transfer Rules
Use the Work Phone, Home Phone, Mobile Phone, Other Number 1, and Other Number 2 fields to enter phone numbers that Cisco Unity Connection uses when matching the personal call transfer rules of users against incoming phone calls from system contacts.
