Known Issues

Deleting Admin Rapid Dial Lists, Contact List Regeneration Error

When deleting an admin-created rapid dial list, Switchvox fails to properly regenerate the contacts lists for telephones to which the admin-created rapid dial list was created. This leaves orphaned contacts inside the telephone's contacts application. This issue has been present in Switchvox since the introduction of admin-created rapid dial lists and is not a regression.
To work around this issue, manually delete each item, one-at-a-time from the admin-created rapid dial list, or, if the list has already been deleted, log into each user's web tool and make any change to that user's telephone's rapid dial list items. Either of these will ensure that contacts files for telephones are properly generated.
With the known workarounds for this minor issue easily accessible, there is no immediate timeframe for a programmatic fix for this issue.
