Chorus group working

Description	Equipment required	Request
Hunt groups are a method of distributing telephone calls from a single phone number to a group of several phone handsets. Phone calls can be distributed to one phone after another (in a list or longest idle) or to all the phones at once. A pickup group differs from a hunt group in that the user has to dial a number or press a button to pick up the call, wheras in a hunt group the call will be delivered automatically.	Desk phone or soft phone	This can be done in Phoneman

Pickup groups allow a group of people to pick up any calls for another person in the group from their own phone (3). It differs from a hunt group in that the user has to dial a number or press a button to pick up the call, whereas in a hunt group the call will be delivered automatically. Note: a number can only exist in one** pickup group.	Desk phone	This can be done in Phoneman: http://help.it.ox.ac.uk/chorus/phoneman-devolved-admin#create_pug
