EFK/Macro - Substitute Speed Dial Value

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm using a Polycom VVX500 on UCS 5.5.0.2386. I have setup an EFK with a macro as below, which works:

softkey.5.action="$S98$$Tinvite$"

The only problem is that the reference to the Speed Dial (i.e. <sd></sd> tags) is hard coded, and i need to make it variable (i.e. so the user is prompted for the numeric value of the <sd></sd> that gets used in the macro).

I have also tried setting up some code using efk.efklist and efk.efkprompt and then calling the macro associated with the efk.efklist from softkey 5 using softkey.5.action="!macro".

The efk.efklist and efk.efkprompt calls all work correctly, but I can't work out how I reference the digits recorded from the user input as part of the efk.efkprompt, and insert them into:

softkey.5.action="$S{captured_numeric_user_input_from_efk.efkprompt}$$Tinvite$"

How can i make the speed dial index input dynamic based on user input for softkey 5?

Thanks

Hello @Chris87,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

To my knowledge you cannot do this via an EFK i.e. use a Prompt to parse a Speed Dial Index.

Okay, that seems like a bit of a limitation, but if thats the way it is, that's the way it is.

As an alternative, can you think of a way of making a macro that searches the local contact directory for a user entered 4 digit number and then automatically places a call to the first matching entry?

Hello @Chris87,

I think you simply overestimate the capability of EFK.

EFK is a very simple and basic way to automate key presses, The EFK FAQ and/or the Admin Guide have examples what it can do.
