Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can manage softkeys associated
with applications that are supported by the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports two types of softkey templates: standard and
nonstandard. Standard softkey templates include Standard User, Standard Feature, Standard IPMA
Assistant, Standard IPMA Manager, and Standard IPMA Shared Mode Manager An application that
supports softkeys can have one or more standard softkey templates associated with it. You can modify a
standard softkey template by making a copy of it, giving it a new name, and making updates to that
copied softkey template. You can also modify a nonstandard softkey template.
To configure softkey templates, select Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a softkey template to a phone, use
the Softkey Template field in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone
Configuration page. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide, Cisco
