Please excuse our mess while we improve your admin experience! We are in the process of migrating all accounts to the new GoTo Admin. The article below is meant for admins who use PBX Administration (classic) at https://my.jive.com/pbx.

Before you begin:
You must be assigned the Admin or Super admin role to perform this task.
A shared voicemail box cannot be assigned to a line key on a phone, eliminating the ability to visually monitor voicemails (blinking line key). However, by creating a standalone line that acts like a shared voicemail box, the line can then be assigned to a device line key. As such, all users that have this line assigned to their device will see a visual notification once a voicemail is received.
