BUILD AND APPLY HOTKEY TEMPLATES

Templates can be useful for managers to create so they can easily configure users' line keys to have the same structure as their coworkers. For example, a manager may want to create a template for users working in a support queue, and a different template for users in sales positions. 

Never change the 1st line option. 

Line appearance should ALWAYS be number 1 in the builder. Do not touch this as it can disrupt the configuration of your phone. 

Want to use Line Appearance? Call Support.
