The Wave ViewPoint application allows you to check and manage your voicemail messages from your computer. 


Inbox Overview

  • New/Unheard Messages: Appear in bold.

  • Read/Heard Messages: Display in normal text.

  • Messages display information such as:

    • Caller ID/Number (when available)

    • Date and time received

    • Message length


Listening to Messages

  • Double-click a message to open and listen to it.

  • Use the playback controls at the bottom of the screen:

    • Play ▶️: Start listening to the voicemail.

    • Stop ⏹️: Stop playback.

    • Additional controls allow you to rewind or fast-forward if needed.

  • You can use the audio output selector in the bottom left to change where your messages play between your computer (Speakers) or the desktop phone (Telephone)


Returning a Call

  • Right click a message
  • Hover over New Call
  • Select Caller ID, which should be filled with the number of the caller

Organizing Messages

  • Drag and drop messages into the folders on the left:

    • Saved: Keeps a copy of the message for future reference.

    • Deleted: Moves the message to your Deleted folder (you can empty this folder later).

You can also right-click a message for more options such as Move to Saved or Delete.


Forwarding Messages

  • Select a message, then click "Forward" in the top bar
  • Select the user to receive the message, then click "Add"
  • Optionally add a Note about the message
  • Click Send
    • The recipient will receive the forwarded message on their Wave account/phone

Shared Inbox

  • Users who are included in a shared inbox will also see their shared inboxes in the left panel


Key Tips

  • Always check for bolded messages to know if you have something new waiting.

  • Use Saved for voicemails you want to keep and Deleted to clear your inbox.

  • You don’t need to use the other sections (Contacts, Call Log, Extensions, etc.) for basic voicemail tasks—those are covered in separate articles.
