The Extended Absence Greeting can be used when you are absent from your office for either part of the day, all day, many days or weeks.  The extended absence greeting does not override or erase your original greeting.  Once you delete your extended absence greeting, you do not need to re-record your standard, every day greeting. 

This feature is great to use during Summer, Winter and Spring Breaks.  You can also program your phone with this type of greeting from a remote site using last month's tip, Accessing voicemail from a remote location (home, cell phone, etc.)
