Reach Through

MiCollab Reach Through provides you with the ability to access MiVoice Business System Administration System Administration Tool (MiVB System Tool) forms from links or drop-down menus within specific USP pages. Because you have logged into the MiCollab server manager, you are allowed direct access and do not have to log in separately to the MiVoice Business. This functionality reduces the amount of time it takes to perform programming tasks, such as modifying a user's MiVoice Business phone and group settings, that require configuration on the MiVoice Business.
Note: The MiVoice Business also supports Reach Through. It allows administrators to link directly to MiCollab USP forms from specific MiVoice Business system administration tool programming forms.
