Hi, I'm looking at the way an admin would provision an IM user in the system via sipXconfig. Currently, two pieces of information need to be provided, namely the IM ID and the IM Display Name. The topic of this post is around the need for IM Display Name part. This IM Display Name effectily define the name that one will appear as in the buddy list of an IM client. I'm guessing that this name will frequently be similar to the user's first name and last name which already have dedicated fields in thr 'add user' page. If that guess is accurate then it would be annoying for the admin to have to re-type the user's first and last name in the IM Display Name field. Would it make sense to use the concatenation of the first and last name as the IM display name to supply to sipXopenfire? WRT to the IM Display Name field, we could hide it under advanced settings and it could be used to override the default for users that do not like it.
What do you think? bob _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
