Default Selected Contact Group
This setting will configure the group that will automatically be selected when Attendant Console is loaded.
Display Teams Contact Categories as Contact Groups
This setting will enable or disable Teams Contact Categories displayed as groups on the contact groups panel.
This is the priority of contact methods evaluated when using the "CallDefault" button or double clicking a contact card. For example, if the first contact method listed is Teams, the Attendant Console will initiate a Teams call. If the user is not enabled for Teams, it will try the second contact method on the list and so on.
Customized Contact Layout Buttons
This setting will configure the buttons and order of buttons that are shown on contacts.
The schedule button will automatically select the schedule tab on the contact detail panel and display the user's calendar events.
Customize Contact Layout Text
This setting will configure the text that is shown on contacts. There can be up to three lines of text on each contact. The text that is displayed on each line is configured by entering plain text and/or placeholders for the desired fields. A placeholder can be inserted by selecting a placeholder from the dropdown to the right of the field. The cursor position is saved and used for the insert.
Smart Separators and Labels
Smart separators and labels allow text to only show when needed.
Smart separators are anything put inside curly braces that is not a recognized placeholder. Smart separators have the ability to intelligently be hidden when the placeholder to its left or right evaluates to an empty string. This only applies when the smart separator is directly against another curly braced item such as a placeholder.
Labels are text put inside <> which is nested inside a curly braced field. In this case, the label will only show when the field accompanying it evaluates to text rather than an empty string.
Plain text outside of curly braces will be displayed all the time.
Note: Multiple spaces will be ignored and treated as a single space
Example:
In the example above, the "Dept: " label will only show if the department field is populated for the contact. The smart separator " - " will only show if the contact has both a department and a job title. The label "Job Title: " will only show if the job title field is populated for the contact.
Notes

This setting is enabled by default. Disabling this setting will not allow users to save contact notes in the contact card panel or call details panel.

New Features & Improvements
Sync With Contacts from Teams
Teams contacts and categories now sync directly into Attendant Console, pulled from the Teams People app.
Serve Multilingual Callers
Live speech-to-text now works in multiple languages, with the ability to switch automatically per call. Whether you’re supporting international students, global business contacts, or diverse community members, every conversation gets transcribed for sentiment analysis, quality assurance, and AI applications.
Monitor Shared Voicemails From Your Workspace
Group voicemails from M365 now appear directly in Attendant Console. Reception staff can monitor departmental mailboxes and team inboxes without switching applications.
Switch Layouts Instantly with Your Workload
New Quick Access Shortcuts let receptionists toggle between custom layouts with one keyboard sequence. Set up a streamlined view for handling incoming calls during rush periods, then switch to an expanded layout with more detail panels during wrap-up time.
Search Anyone Immediately
People Search (which was previously behind a feature flag) searches across Active Directory, personal Exchange contacts, global Exchange contacts, and even people you’ve chatted or emailed with and it’s now GA.
Check Availability Before Transferring Calls
A new calendar button provides one-click access to any contact’s schedule directly from the contact layout. Reception staff can verify availability before transferring which provides various benefits such as fewer dropped transfers and better first-call resolution.
If you would like to read the full list of improvements and updates, read the here.
September 16, 2025
New Features & Improvements
Better Call Transcripts with Speaker Identification
In call transcripts, you’ll now see a star (*) next to anything the Attendant Console user said. This makes it much easier to follow conversations and understand who said what, especially when used with AI to analyze calls.
Make Calls Using Your Queue Number (Preview)
You can now make outbound calls using your queue’s phone number instead of your personal Teams number. This keeps your personal contact information private and maintains a professional appearance for all business calls.
Visual Confirmations for Various Actions
When performing various Attendant Console actions, you’ll see a small notification at the bottom of your screen confirming the action was completed. No more wondering if your changes went through, or unknowingly making an incorrect change.
The following actions will show an alert:
A user is added to a group
A user is removed from a group
An AI prompt response is copied
Any info on the contact details panel is copied (email, department, etc.)
Return Calls Directly from Voicemail
Listening to a voicemail and need to call back? Just click the call button next to each voicemail message instead of writing down numbers or searching for contacts.
Improved Keyboard Navigation
We’ve made the console more accessible by improving keyboard navigation. Blind or visually impaired users, or anyone who relies on the tab key to move around the screen will find it much easier to get where they need to go.
More Detailed Call History
Your call history now displays the exact time each call took place, not just the date.
Smart Call Transfer Summaries
When transferring a call, the person receiving it gets an AI-generated summary of what was discussed. Callers won’t have to repeat their story, and agents can jump right into solving their problem.
Automatic Transfer Suggestions ()
When either the caller or the Attendant Console user mentions a name during a call in the context of speaking with them, contact cards for people with that name automatically appear.
For example, a caller mentions “I think I spoke with someone there name Adele” – Adele’s contact information pops up, ready for an instant transfer.
Since this is a private preview feature, and not turned on by default, please if you are interested in using it.
Contact Notes Search
In the case that you can’t remember who you talked to about a specific topic, you can now search through your contact notes to find the right person and conversation.
Feature Discovery Menu
New users of Landis Attendant Console will benefit from the feature highlights menu, which helps you discover and learn about important capabilities you might not know about.
Better Contact Center Integration
For companies using both Landis Attendant Console and Landis Contact Center, we’ve added quick shortcuts to:
Change your agent status
Sign in or out of specific queues
Sign in or out of all queues at once
You can also see your call recording status right in the footer, so you always know if recording is active.
If you would like to read the full list of improvements and updates, read the here.
July 16, 2025
New Features & Improvements
Quickly Set Custom Teams Status Messages
Working from home? Between meetings? You can now update your Microsoft Teams status message directly from Attendant Console using custom shortcuts.
Record Calls Without Switching Apps
If you use both and Attendant Console, becomes more accessible. When your policy allows, you can start and stop recordings directly from the Attendant Console interface.
No longer is it necessary to jump between applications or purchase separate recording licenses.
Customize Your Context Menu
Visibility settings for the recently added “transfer to current call” button let you hide the option if you don’t frequently use it.
Deeper Insights from Pre-Call Data
Call pop information gets an upgrade with adaptive cards. As a call comes in, you can now display and interact with data-rich, customizable cards.
Examples might be customer history, account status, previous interactions, or other info that might help you provide better service when you answer.
Make Post-Call Data Work Harder for You
A new webhook allows you to send useful call information such as transcripts, caller details, or AI responses to your designated endpoint when calls finish.
This gives options for deeper analysis, contact management integration, and custom reporting.
Design Your Perfect Workspace
The layout system gives you more control over how your workspace looks and functions. You can now create and save multiple custom layouts for different situations. For example, one for active calling, another for after-hours, or other specific configurations for different team members.
Follow Up Instantly from a Previous Call
Instead of searching for contact information or manually dialing numbers, you can call back directly from your history with a single click.
If you would like to read the full list of improvements and updates, read the here.
May 20, 2025
New Features & Improvements
Better Contact Center Integration
The connection between Landis Attendant Console and Landis Contact Center just got better! Here’s what’s new.
Simplified Sign-In Experience
We’ve streamlined the sign-in process with a simple checkbox in Settings > Connectors. Once you check the box, select your tenant (if you have multiple), and you’re connected. You no longer need to sign in a second time to use this integration.
Call Pop for Queue Calls
Call pop functionality configured in Landis Contact Center now also works in Attendant Console. When a call comes in through a Contact Center queue, the call pop will display in Attendant Console automatically based on your Contact Center settings. No additional configuration is needed in Attendant Console.
Wrap-Up Questions Panel
We’ve added a dedicated panel for wrap-up questions in the layout options. When a call from a queue ends, the wrap-up questions appear just like they would in the Contact Center agent panel, complete with a countdown timer.
New Delegate Scenarios
Now you can make calls on behalf of others with the delegate features:
Call on Behalf of Others
With the new optional CallDelegation.ReadWrite permission, you can now place outbound calls on behalf of someone who has set you as their delegate. A dropdown will appear under your profile photo where you can select the party for whom you want to make calls.
Quick Access Shortcuts for Delegates
We’ve added the ability to create Quick Access Shortcuts to switch who you’re placing outbound calls on behalf of.
More Calendar and Contact Details
The calendar on contact details now shows five business days instead of three.
Flexible Admin Enforcement for Settings
Administrators now have more control with item-level enforcement for list-type settings. Instead of enforcing an entire list of settings, admins can now choose specific items within a list to enforce while allowing users to modify other items or add their own. This works for:
Search sources
Contact groups
Keyboard shortcuts
Quick access shortcuts
AI Prompts with Adaptive Cards
Now you can add richer, more interactive experiences to your AI prompts with adaptive cards. When you include a valid adaptive card template in your prompt settings, and the AI model returns a valid JSON object, we’ll populate the adaptive card with the data and display the result.
This opens up the possibility to create custom interfaces for AI responses, such as parts lookup, inventory details, or customer information cards.
Official Support for Transfer to Voicemail
We’ve added official support for transferring calls directly to voicemail, removing the experimental checkbox that was previously required. This feature uses Microsoft’s official APIs for a more reliable experience.
Additionally, we’ve added a new checkbox for “transfer to voicemail” on call user Quick Access Shortcuts, making it even easier to send calls directly to voicemail.
Added Footer Information
The footer has been redesigned to show more useful information at a glance.
You can customize which items appear and drag and drop them to your preferred order.
Transfer type and mode
Audio devices in use
User status and presence
Selected delegator (who you’re making calls as)
People Search Endpoint (Preview)
We’ve added Microsoft’s search endpoint capability under private preview as this is still in testing. This allows for fuzzy search (handling misspellings or partial matches) of contacts across multiple sources:

A new call history panel allows users to quickly review past interactions, making it easier to track important calls.
Contact notes and call transcriptions now appear directly in the call history. This history is stored locally in the browser, which means that only calls made or received from that device appear here.
Automatic AI Prompt Triggers
New triggers now allow automatic running of AI prompts. These can be set to run at the end of a call or with a custom keyboard shortcut.
These responses can be saved in the local call history (mentioned earlier). Prompts that are currently in use, (e.g., in callback reminders) cannot be deleted.
In the unlikely case of using Azure OpenAI too heavily, a warning will be displayed to keep use of the AI from getting throttled.
Queues Panel Update
Agent status changes from Contact Center are now automatically saved instead of manually refreshed.
The time that an agent has been in the current status is also displayed.
Simpler Consult Transfer
A new “Transfer” button to complete a consult transfer now makes it more intuitive. Before, users had to click the consult transfer button twice: once to consult the agent possibly taking the call, and a second time to connect the caller to that agent. Now, if you wish to use the new function, a “Transfer” button finishes the transfer with one click.
Settings Policies Protection
To prevent accidentally deleting policies, managers are now asked to confirm whether or not they would like to proceed with the deletion.
Performance Improvements
Fixed PSTN Call Issues: Users can now add a PSTN participant to an existing PSTN call.
Improved Audio Alerts: Ring sounds now play on the selected audio device instead of the Windows default.
Miscellaneous UI improvements.

New Features and Improvements
New AI Features:
We’ve added a customizable AI Prompts feature you can start using today! These prompts are applied to live call transcripts and are great for:
Call summaries: Provide concise recaps for callback reminders and chat consult transfers.
Action lists: Automatically identify tasks, names, or part numbers from conversations.
Coaching hints: Check if agents are following guidelines during calls.
Here's how it works:
(Note: Real-Time Speech to Text must be enabled to use this feature.)
Create your AI prompt in Settings. This prompt and the live call transcript will be sent to the AI provider.
There are 2 ways that Ai prompts can currently be used:
1. AI Prompts for Callback Reminders and chat consult transfers: Automatically add helpful details, like the call summary, to callback reminders or chat transfers—providing context without extra work for the agent. Here's an example of an AI prompt adding a summary to a chat callback reminder.
(You can customize the text of the callback request in Settings > Transfer under the Call Back Messages section. Use the Add button at the end of the field to insert your AI prompts and other variables into your message template.)
2. AI prompts in Call Details can be run on demand. The generated result can be copied to your clipboard with one click to make it easy to use elsewhere. See the for some examples.
Agent Experience Improvements:
Added Help, What's New, and Feedback options to the title bar context menu.
Hold Time Alerts: Set custom warning and critical time thresholds for calls. Optionally you can receive audible alerts when critical time is reached, ensuring agents leave no calls unattended.
Failed Transfer Alerts: Configure warning and critical time settings for failed transfers. Optional audible alerts, triggered alongside visual cues, help prevent important calls from being dropped.
Desktop App Improvements:
Option to open tel: links by default: When set as the default, phone number links will open Attendant Console and search the phone number, making it easy to start outbound calls within the app.
Persistent Window Settings: The application now remembers its window size and position when closing and restores these settings when relaunched.
Check out our for more details and the full list of features and fixes.
October 14, 2024
New Features and Improvements
New Notes Features:
Shared Notes: You can now easily sync and share notes with other users by using a shared key.
Display notes on contact: Notes can now be added directly to the contact layout, allowing agents to view important information without needing to click into each contact. See the example layout below:
Landis Contact Center Integration (Preview):
Sign in or out of Landis Contact Center queues without leaving Attendant Console! You can also update your status from the same panel.
Manage the connection to your Contact Center organization in Settings > Connectors.
UI Improvements:
Add and Remove a Contact from Groups using the right-click menu on the Contact. This works for all types of contacts, including Exchange and Global Exchange.
Create a New Contact Group directly from the "Add to Contact Group" menu—no need to go to settings to set up a group.
Custom Teams Status Messages: Users can now set or edit their status messages, which automatically sync with the Teams app—no need to open the Teams app separately to update your status!
New Setting: You now have the option to automatically clear the search box after a call is successfully transferred.
Call Details Panel: This new panel displays details about the current call. It currently includes two tabs:
Caller Details: Shows caller information and the contact's notes field.
New Call Handling Feature:
Transfer holding call to current call. This enables agents to merge calls and automatically disconnecting themselves.
Example use case: An agent calls someone on behalf of their manager. Once the recipient picks up, the agent places the call on hold, calls the manager, and then transfers the held call to the current call, disconnecting automatically.
Accessibility Improvement:
Screen readers now read all three lines of contact text, enabling agents using screen readers to hear notes or secondary details, along with the contact name, when reviewing contact lists.
Check out our for more details and the full list of features and fixes.
AI Prompts can be created to perform an action using AI on the transcription of the call. These actions can be triggered in multiple ways:
1. Triggered manually by pressing the Generate Prompt button on the AI Prompts tab on the Call Details panel. When using this method, the response will be shown on the same panel. The response can also be shown in the call history panel if the setting Save Response to Local Call History is enabled.
2. Triggered on chat callback reminder, email callback reminder, or chat consult transfer creation. When using this method, the response will be displayed in the consult transfer chat or callback reminder. The response can also be shown in the call history panel if the setting Save Response to Local Call History is enabled.
3. Triggered automatically at end of call. When using this method, we recommend enabling the setting Save Response to Local Call History. The response will then be shown in the call history panel.
4. Triggered manually by pressing a keyboard shortcut. When using this method, the response can be shown on the Call Details panel or the call history panel (if the setting Save Response to Local Call History is enabled).
Triggered by . When using this method, the response can be sent along in the chat to the transfer recipient.
If the AI Prompt is set to display on Call Details panel, the display order of the prompts can be changed. Select a shortcut from the list and use the up or down arrow to adjust its position.
In the transcription sent along with the AI Prompt, a star (*) will denote responses from the attendant console user. Use this indicator to determine if the agent's transcription will be evaluated.
