Configuring Application Profiles
After you add a new user, you can configure a profile for each application that is listed in the Application Profiles pane on the User Configuration window. These profiles allow each user to personalize phone features, Cisco IPMA, Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility, Auto Attendant, and Cisco IP SoftPhone capability.
Before you begin
Make sure that the user is in the database. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for more information.

Associating Devices to a User
After you have added a user, you can associate devices over which users will have control. Users can control some devices, such as phones. Applications that are identified as users can control other devices, such as CTI ports. When users have control of a phone, they can control certain settings for that phone, such as speed dial and call forwarding.
Before You Begin
To assign devices to a user, you must access the User Configuration window for that user. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users. When the User Configuration window displays, perform the following procedure to assign devices.
Procedure
Step 1 In the Application Profiles pane, click Device Association.
Step 2 Limit the list of available devices by entering the search criteria in the Available Device List Filters section, if desired, and click Select Devices.
Step 3 Check the check box of one or more devices you want to associate with the user. You can assign one primary extension from the devices to which the user is assigned by clicking the radio button in the Primary Ext. column for that device.
Step 4 When you have completed the assignment, click Update Selected to assign the devices to the user.

Associating Auto Attendant Profiles
The Automated Attendant (AA) service answers incoming calls and prompts the caller for a user name or extension. The AA scans the directory for a match to resolve the user name or extension and transfers the caller to the appropriate endpoint.
Before You Begin
To associate an automated attendant profile to a user, you must access the User Information window for that user. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users. When the User Information window displays, perform the following procedure to associate profiles.
Procedure
Step 1 In the Application Profiles pane, choose Auto Attendant.
Step 2 In the Name Dialing field, enter the attendant name (LastFirstM). For example, for John Quincy Smith, enter SmithJohnQ.
If a same name or same numerical mapping occurs, a prompt indicates a duplicate key. At this point, you can either change the user name (through nicknames or removal of middle initials) or allow duplicates.
Step 3 Click Insert.

Associating Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility Profiles
Use Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility to configure a Cisco IP Phone 7940 or Cisco IP Phone 7960 to temporarily appear as the phone of a user. The user can log in to a phone, and the extension mobility profile (including line and speed-dial numbers) for the user resides on the phone. This feature applies primarily in environments where users are not permanently assigned to physical phones.
To associate an extension mobility profile to a user, you must access the User Information window for that user. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users. To configure Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility, refer to the "Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility" chapter in the Cisco CallManager Features and Services Guide.
