E164 numbers in the number inventory
-------------------------------------------

.. note::

   In Automate, a wildcard ('*') can appear before a directory number in a Type 4 dial plan.

The **E164Number** column and value displays E164 Associations (N to 1 DN), depending
on the number of E164s associated and whether a primary E164 is set or not.

Examples of E164 format:

.. note:: 

   The first example below is for E164 Associations (N to N DN):

* ``\+27726043938``

  No primary is set. The first number associated is displayed. Only one number 
  is associated. 

* ``\+27726043938 (P)``

  The displayed number is primary. Only one number is associated.
  
* ``\+27726043938 (P) [+8]``
 
  The displayed number is primary. Eight (8) more numbers have been associated
  in addition to the displayed number.
  
* ``\+27726043938 [+8]``

  No primary is set. The first number associated is displayed. Eight (8) more
  numbers have been associated in addition to the displayed number.

This type of number cannot be reached from an outside line. Typically, a number
with the '*' prefix is not called from another line (user), but is tied to a service
feature such as call pickup, hunt groups, or contact center.

.. note::

   Adding a new number to the number inventory on Automate does not add a
   number on Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM / CallManager) until it is associated to a line.
