Managing Receipts by Phone
When you check your messages by phone, Cisco Unity plays your receipts along with your other messages. You play and manage receipts by phone in nearly the same way as other messages, though you cannot reply to or forward delivery receipts or NDRs. Unlike other messages, receipts do not cause a message waiting indicator on your phone to light.
For return receipts, you hear a list of the recipients—including recipients at other locations in your organization—who received the message you sent and/or played it. For NDRs, Cisco Unity identifies both local and remote recipients whose mailboxes did not accept your message.
If known, Cisco Unity explains why you received a particular receipt for any message that you send to another location. Depending on how Cisco Unity is set up at your organization, you may hear a reason code before the prompt which explains why you received the receipt. Include the reason code when reporting message delivery problems to your Cisco Unity administrator or support desk.
After you play an NDR, Cisco Unity allows you to play the original message and resend it to the recipient(s) who failed to receive it. You can record an introduction, modify recipient list, and change delivery options when resending a message. Once you resend the message, Cisco Unity automatically deletes the NDR for you.
This section contains two procedures. Do the first procedure, "To Manage Receipts by Phone (Standard Conversation Style)," to check messages when Cisco Unity is set up to play the standard conversation. Do the second procedure, "To Manage Receipts by Phone (Optional Conversation 1 Style)," when Cisco Unity is set up to play Optional Conversation 1.
Keypad mappings for other conversation styles are documented in the "Cisco Unity Phone Menus and Shortcuts" chapter. Ask your Cisco Unity administrator which conversation style you are set up to use.

Step 2 Press 1 to hear new messages.
Step 3 On the Message Type menu, press 4 to play receipts. (You will not hear the Message Type menu if it is disabled in the Cisco Unity Assistant.)

Managing Receipts from Your Cisco Unity Inbox
When you check your messages in the Cisco Unity Inbox, Cisco Unity presents your receipts along with your other messages. You open and manage receipts from the Cisco Unity Inbox in nearly the same way as your other messages, though you cannot reply to or forward return receipts or NDRs.
For return receipts, you can review the recipients—including recipients at other locations in your organization—whose mailboxes accepted a message you sent and/or played it. For NDRs, the Cisco Unity Inbox identifies both local and remote recipients whose mailboxes did not accept your message.
Information in the From field identifies the sender. Typically for delivery receipt and NDRs, the From field displays "System Administrator." For read and nonread receipts, the From field displays the name of the recipient who received your message (and either played it or did not play it, as applicable). The Date field indicates the time in which the original message was sent.
If known, the Cisco Unity Inbox includes the reason code and the reason why you received a particular receipt for any message that you send to another location. Include the reason code when reporting message delivery problems to your Cisco Unity administrator or support desk.
As you review an NDR, you can use the Media Master control bar to play the original message and you can resend it to the recipient(s) who failed to receive it. You can record an introduction, modify recipient list, and change delivery options when resending a message. Once you resend a message, the NDR is not automatically deleted as it is when you resend a message by phone. Instead, the NDR remains in the Cisco Unity Inbox until you delete it.
To Manage Receipts from Your Cisco Unity Inbox
Step 1 In the Cisco Unity Inbox, click the name of the sender to open the receipt.
Step 2 Use the following icons or Message menu options to manage the receipt:
Previous Message
|
Open the previous message.
|
Next Message
|
Open the next message.
|
Resend Original Message (for NDRs only)
|
Resend original message to recipients who failed to receive it. You can record an introduction, modify recipient list, and change delivery options.
|
Delete
|
Delete the message.
|
Save
|
Save the receipt and any changes, such as marking the message as new or changing the subject, and return to the Cisco Unity Inbox.
|
Mark Message as Unread
|
Check this check box to save the message as new.
|
Close
|
Cancel the message without saving changes, and return to the Cisco Unity Inbox. The receipt is marked read.
