Each private list has a recorded name and a display name. When you address messages to private lists by phone, Cisco Unity Connection plays the recorded name so you can confirm that you have addressed the message to the correct list.
If you use voice commands, you can also specify alternate names for the display name that you give a private list. You say the display name when you use voice commands to address a message to the private list by phone. Consider specifying alternate names if the display name is not pronounced the way it would be read, as may be the case with acronyms and abbreviations. (For example, your list name for the Technical Support department is IT. You would add the pronunciation spelling “Eye Tea” as an alternate name.)
