Feature Codes

We have now seen various codes we can use to perform multiple actions in VitalPBX. Here is the full list of feature codes you can use. You can find the Feature Codes under PBX > Applications > Feature Codes. Most of these codes can be modified to another code, as long as it does not clash with the existing numbering plan. Meaning that if the code is not used anywhere else in the system you can change it to anything. They can also be Enabled or Disabled from here. This is different from using a Feature Category, since this is a global setting, meaning that the feature is Enabled or Disabled for the whole system.
