The Softkey Control parameter shows if softkeys of a phone are controlled by the Feature Control Policy or
the Softkey Template feature. The Softkey Control parameter is a required field.
The default is Feature Control Policy.
To configure softkey templates, select Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a softkey template to a phone, use the
Softkey Template field in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone Configuration
window.
For more information about configuring this feature, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide, “Softkey Template Configuration” chapter, and the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager System Guide, “Softkey Template” chapter.
The Cisco Unified IP Phones do not support all the softkeys that are configurable in Softkey Template
Configuration on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Cisco Unified Communications
Manager allows you to enable or disable some softkeys in the control policy configuration settings. The
following table lists the features and the softkeys that can be configured on a softkey template, and identifies
whether it is supported on the Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows you to configure any softkey in a softkey template, but
unsupported softkeys do not display on the phone.
