How do I change the lines and buttons on my phone?
Most phones have one or more buttons (or sidecars) that you can customize to perform specific functions, like speed dial. Customize these settings to personalize your buttons as needed.
- Sign in to the desktop or web app.
- Select your profile picture in the top right and then choose Settings.
- Expand Voice in the left sidebar and then select Device buttons. If you are assigned to multiple devices, choose the desired device from the drop-down menu.
Troubleshooting: If you do not have Device buttons, refer to your Admin for setting enablement. For admins who use PBX Administration (classic) at https://my.jive.com/pbx you must enable Allow user to change all Speed Dial buttons (Devices > User's device > Button Configuration) from the admin portal . If you're an admin who uses GoTo Admin at https://admin.goto.com, this enablement is not required. Please excuse our mess while we improve your admin experience! We are in the process of migrating all accounts to the new GoTo Admin.
