Your system administrator sets up the Answer button depending on your call-handling needs and work
environment. This feature is typically set up for users who have multiple lines.

you may see additional information in the call toast to identify that the call has been forwarded.
If an incoming call has been call forwarded from another phone, you may see additional information to identify
that the call has been forwarded. Your system administrator controls the amount of additional information
that is displayed. Additional information can identify the person who forwarded the call to you and the caller
information.
For more information, contact your system administrator.

system administrator also sets up the Call Pickup softkeys depending on your call-handling needs and work
environment.
You might use Call Pickup if you share call-handling tasks with coworkers.
There are three ways you can pick up a call:

ringing for the longest time).
