Extension

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).
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.
Allow Contacts
Check this check box to allow contacts to be added as members of the distribution list. Note that when a distribution list includes contacts as members, users on remote voice messaging systems (VPIM locations) cannot send messages to the list.
