Database Fields

estos MetaDirectory maps a contact over 61 predefined and 20 freely usable fields. You assign the source to the target fields when setting up a replicator.

Each database field can be given an individual name and abbreviation. This field name is then used throughout the administrator and the web server. The abbreviated field name is used when results of an LDAP request are displayed on a telephony end device.
If the web server interface is available in multiple languages, you must make the customizations in all languages. Additional languages can be added. Ask our support if you want to connect another language.

The configuration can be modified directly in the list shown. Click the field you want to change.
Use the additional database fields to store more contact details in the database, such as gender, cost centers, building number, substitution.
For the phone number resolution by the ProCall, all fields defined as "Phone number field" by default can be used. In addition, the "Custom" fields can be defined as phone number fields.

estos MetaDirectory uses the following field types:

  • Name field
  • Address field
  • Number field
  • Fax number field
  • Miscellaneous field

You can change the type directly in the list by clicking in the "Field type" column.
All fields of type "Number field" and "Fax number field" are formatted as phone number during replication.
The field types are also used in the Search Assistant with the option "Automatically place wildcard (*) at the end of search terms".
