Both occupier users and occupier admins can use the portal to view and manage their own basic user details. If essensys manage your telephony services, you can also update the extension features (user and call features) associated with your phone.

Tip: You cannot edit your Wi-Fi account or user account details from this page. Occupier admins can edit these details in the User management page. See User management.

View and edit my profile

  1. From the main menu, click My profile.
    The My profile page opens. Your basic profile details are visible in the page.

  2. View your current profile details in the read-only view.
    The read-only view shows all of the basic settings for your profile, your Wi-Fi account details, and your telephony details.

    • If your account is ACTIVE, you can use the Set password option in the Wi-Fi account panel to update the password used when connecting private devices to the Wi-Fi Secure network. For more information, see Wi-Fi account details.

    • In the Telephony panel, you can view the Default PIN by hovering over the option, and you can Reset PIN or Logout of your handset (Handset logout) using the available icons. For more information, see Telephony details.

  3. To update your profile details, click Edit.
    Edit your basic details and, if you are a Telephony user, some of your phone number features. For details of the fields, see My profile page.
    ​Note: It is not possible to update your email address after your user has been created. It is also not possible to update your Wi-Fi account or User account details in this page. However, if you are an occupier admin, you can update Wi-Fi account and User account details for yourself and other users in User management.

  4. Once you have completed your changes, click Save changes.

Your changes are saved. Changes to your phone number features are applied.

This will typically be ACTIVE as a number must be active to be assigned, but can also be PENDING where changes are currently underway.

Call forwarding

Forward calls to an alternative number in different circumstances:

  • Always - forward all calls to the number.

  • Busy - forward calls when the line is busy (when the user is taking another call). This option cannot be selected with Call waiting. When the line is busy, calls can either wait or be redirected, not both.

  • No answer - forward calls when the call is not answered within three rings.

Selecting a call forwarding option enables a field that captures the number to forward the calls to.

Warning: Call forwarding is disabled for phone numbers with the Authorization code functionality enabled.

Voicemail

  • Enable voicemail.

  • Enable voicemail to email. Supply an email address to send voicemail to.

Call settings

Hide Caller ID

Hide your outgoing Caller ID when you call another number.

Note: If enabled, this overrides any CLI number.

Call waiting

Receive a signal that indicates that someone has called you while you are engaged on another call.

Note: This option cannot be selected with Call forwarding - Busy. When the line is busy, calls can either wait or be redirected, not both.

CLI

The number that is displayed as this phone number's caller ID on outbound calls.

Example: If you select your main number as a CLI, it appears to be your caller ID when you make a call from this number.

  • Toggle - Enables or disables CLI.

  • Number to be displayed - The number to use as the caller ID. This drop-down list contains all of the occupier's active phone numbers. You can select a number at the same site.

Note: If you also enable Hide caller ID, the caller ID will be hidden regardless of the CLI setting.

Do Not Disturb

Redirect all calls received for this number to voicemail. Where voicemail is not enabled, an engaged tone is played.
