In this short guide, we'll explain how to Call Park in Gamma Horizon.

The Call Park service allows a user to hold the call for an extended period, allowing them access to other features and calls and making the call available to other users who are notified. A Call Park group is site-specific, and each user can only be part of one call park group in your office phone system.

Shortcodes 

Park a call 

User presses transfer when on a call and then dials *68 (or pressed "Park") followed by the extension number of the user the call is to be parked against 

Group Park 

Users within a group press 'GrPark' and the handset will randomly allocate against another user's extension. Each user can only be in one group. 

Retrieve a parked call 

User dials *88 from the handset (or presses' GetPark') and dials the extension of the handset the call is parked against. 

Note: Device Customisation on Polycom and Cisco devices are different. On Polycom, Get Park on the soft keys and Call Retrieve on line keys can be used to retrieve a parked call. On Cisco, Get Park on soft keys (also appearing as Parked Call Retrieve on Device Customisation) can be used to retrieve a parked call. Cisco handsets do not allow this to be provisioned on line keys.
