Personal parking allows each user in the system to have their own parking lot, and reception to be able to park calls for specific users. This is useful for allowing reception to answer calls and put them on hold for a specific party, who can visually see a light blinking on their phone when a call is waiting for them. The final party can answer the call once they are ready, or reception can “grab back” the call if there is no answer.
