Delegates can be assigned to multiple bosses’ lines depending on the number of line keys available on their 
VVX phone. If all available line keys have been assigned to boss contacts, additional contacts are not shown 
on the phone’s screen. For example, Bob can be a delegate for Alice, Anna, Ken, and Jim because he has 
four line keys available on his phone. 
To assign delegates: 
1 In your Lync client, click the Settings icon   and selectTools > Call Forwarding Settings.
2 Select Simultaneously Ring > My Delegates, as shown next.
3 In the Call Forwarding – Delegates dialog box, click Add to add contacts as delegates for your 
calls. 
4 In the Choose a Delegate dialog box, select the contact you want to add as a delegate and click 
Ok. 
The contacts you add as delegates display in the Call Forwarding – Delegates dialog box, shown 
next.
 
5 Click OK when you have finished assigning contacts as delegates.
Simultaneous ringing is enabled for all assigned delegates. If the boss’s line receives an incoming 
call, both the boss and delegate’s phones ring. 
You can choose to change when your delegates’ phones ring in the Call Forwarding – Delegates dialog 
box. 
When you assign delegates to your line, your phone displays a notification that you have added a contact 
as a delegate, and a scrolling message “Simultaneous Ringing is activated” is displayed in the status bar. 
When you are added as a delegate, a notification is displayed on your phone and in the Lync client, and the 
boss icon   is displayed on the boss’s line. The boss icon changes color to reflect the boss’s presence 
status (see Viewing Lync Contacts’ Presence Information).
