Simple Example

This example shows a CallSwitch block used to switch between two members of staff “on call”; Jack and John. The image on the left shows the app view, the image on the right shows the browser view. When the CallSwitch is 'open' calls will be routed to John, as shown below. When the CallSwitch is 'closed' calls will be routed to Jack, as shown below. The switch is performed on the phone by clicking the large app button, then save. The current 'state' of the block is indicated on the browser by a change of icon colour. Note that updates from the app will take a little time to update the back end systems (so don't expect the screen icons to change immediately).
