On supported Yealink phones it is possible to set the display label for the function keys ‘status’ (BLF) and ‘speeddial’.
- Edit the function keys of a phone in the Compass webinterface.
- Choose ‘status’ or ‘speeddial’ as the key type.
- In the input field, enter the desired extension to monitor, or number to speed dial. For example:
2345 - Add a space, and the desired label. The input now looks like this:
2345 Front-desk
The result will be a function key that will monitor or call the extension 2345, and the display will say ‘Front-desk’. You can configure the label any way you like. It is just a string of text. The label can be short or long, and can also contain the extension if desired.
| Key configuration in Compass | Number dialed when pressing key: | Display label will show: |

Note: when the user of the phone is logged out (by dialing *1), the function keys will be inactive and invisible.
