Directory Hierarchy Configuration
You can also modify, rearrange, or delete rules, as follows:
• To modify a rule, change the rule and click Update.
• To change the priority of a rule, use the up and down arrows until the rule is correctly positioned.
For Personal
Assistant version 1.4(5) and later, you can also enter the applicable value in the New
Priority field, and click Update on the line with the rule to move the rule within the list.
• To remove a rule, click the Delete icon.
Directory Hierarchy Configuration
The Directory Hierarchy Configuration page opens when you select System > Directory Hierarchy.
Table A-6 describes the fields on the Directory Hierarchy Configuration page. Use the Directory
Hierarchy Configuration page to create locations and departments that a user can use to narrow a
dial-by-name directory search. For example, if you create a location called NewYork, users can tell
Personal
Assistant to search the NewYork location for Roger Smith. This can help callers reach the
correct party when dialing a person who has a common name.
You add a node by entering the information for a node and clicking Save. The new node is added to the
list of nodes in the hierarchy. The list includes the number of matches for the node in the corporate
directory.
You can also view or change a node by clicking on the node in the list. Personal Assistant opens the
Update Hierarchy Node page, which shows the attributes of the node (as defined in this table). To change
a node, change the applicable settings, and click Update. Note that you cannot change the name or type
of the node.
To delete a node, click the Delete icon on the same line as the node.

Field Considerations
Phone Number Prefix Enter one or more digits at the beginning of the number that the user dials.
For example, if you enter 1, 1500, or 1500555, each would match the dialed number
1-500-555-6262.
Number of Digits Enter the total number of digits in the phone number that the user dials.
Do not count hyphens or spaces. For example, if the user dials 9-1-500-555-6262, enter the
number 12.
Number of Prefix Digits to
Remove
Enter the number of digits Personal Assistant will delete from the front of the dialed number.
For example, if you enter 4, and the dialed number is 1-500-555-6262, Personal Assistant
removes 1500, and leaves 555-6262.
New Prefix Enter the string of digits Personal Assistant will add to the front of the dialed number, after
removing the specified number of digits.
For example, you might need to add the prefix 9 in order to dial an external number.
Priority
(Personal Assistant 1.4(5) and
later only)
Enter the position for the rule in the list of rules.
If you do not specify a priority, the rule will be placed at the bottom of the list.
