Frequently Asked Questions about the Avaya Workplace App
I need to download Avaya Workplace. Where do I get that from?

- Avaya Workplace is available for personal devices through BOX. You will need to sign in to BOX using your Chico State email address, ending in @csuchico.edu. If you are unable to log in to BOX using your @csuchico.edu credentials, please contact ITSS at .
I am having issues with my Avaya Workplace application - how do I troubleshoot this?

- Navigate to the History Tab in Avaya Workplace. At the top of the active screen, you will see the word “History,” with a down arrow. Click on “History,” and select “Delete all History” from the drop-down menu.
How do I check my voicemail?
- When you have a new voicemail, the tape icon in Avaya Workplace will be red. Clicking on the tape icon will dial 4400; the Chico Message Center. The auto-attendant will direct you to enter the star key and your 4-digit extension. Voicemail options have not changed.
My old phone had a button to check voicemail for a different extension. Do I still have that?
