How do I change the settings on a virtual fax?

Virtual fax machines have many different options and permissions you can customize. Not available in Brazil and Mexico.

From Phone system > Virtual fax, select the virtual fax call route that needs changes.

Tip: While on any tab in a virtual fax profile, you can select in the top-right to edit details or delete the fax. Use the breadcrumb on the top-left to go back to the main list or use the arrows to navigate each virtual fax's profile.

Choose what you need to change:
