DID number - this field allows to trigger a rule only for particular DID number on which the incoming call was placed, for ex. two did numbers 48600111222 and 48600123123 are assigned to an user, if somebody call on 48600111222 call will be ringing on user account but on the second number we can setup it always to receive a FAX, in such case following settings should be applied :
Priority - it is possible to setup multiple forwarding rules for ex. in case if first forward number is failing to be answered the call can be forwarded to second priority (this works only if there is no 3rd party voicemail involved, because voicemail is treated as connected call and not failing one).
Response - field defines the options that can be set for a call for ex.:
Voicemail - sends call to user voicemail, can be set unconditional (DND checkbox) and as conditional setup (checkboxes for Offline, Busy, No answer)
Forward - sends call to number specified in To field, can be set as both unconditional and conditional setup same like Voicemail

Call waiting - allows to play some greeting file instead of standard ringback tone, loop checkbox allows to choose if it shall play in loop or play only once and then generated ringtone will be played.
This option works only as unconditional, for every incoming call greeting will be played. It can be combined with Forward and Voicemail options but not any other unconditional rules.
Fast busy - allows to play some greeting file and drop the call unconditionally, if no greeting is chosen it will play standard “beep” file
To - field appear only with conjunction of Response Forward option, it allows to enter destination phone number to which call should be forwarded
Greeting - this field allows to select a greeting file to be played during a Response action, Loop checkbox allows to use it in loop or to be played only once
