Here you can prevent the following types of calls:

    1. Calls from Within Group
    2. Calls from Outside Group, Collect Calls, and
    3. Call types represented by customizable digit strings the system matches against outside numbers.

Please Note: In Enterprise scenarios, the Calls from within the group and Calls from outside the group screening criteria refer only to calls from outside the Enterprise. Calls from outside the group but within the same enterprise do not trigger the Calls from within the group and Calls from outside the group screening criteria.

Check the Custom Settings checkbox to specify the custom incoming calling plan.

To change incoming call privileges for the group or departments, in the Calls from Outside Group drop-down, choose one of these settings:

    1. Allow - Allows users in the group or department to receive all calls from outside the group.
    2. Partial - Allows users in the group or department to receive calls from outside the group only if the outside calls are transferred or forwarded by other users inside the group.
    3. Block - Prevents users in the group or department from receiving any calls from outside the group, even if the outside calls have been transferred or forwarded by other users inside the group.

Please Note: Fully restricted users ("Block" in Calls From Outside Group column) cannot pick up outside calls in their call pickup group or outside calls parked by a user in their group. Click Save.
