.Adding Callflows vLV19

Create dial plan call flows that determine how inbound calls are handled. 

Navigate to Phone System > Callflows. The Callflows screen displays the dial plans currently available in the system.

Click Download to save the dial plans database on your local computer in .csv format.

Create a Call Flow

1. In the Callflows screen, click the Add Callflow button or the add callflow link. 
   
   The EDIT CALLFLOW window appears.

2. Enter the required details in the fields.

   Field Descriptions

   Field	Description
   Description	Describe the purpose of the call flow. This value is visible on the Callflows screen and helps identify the call flow.
   Domain	Select the domain that this dial plan should be hosted on.
   Location	Select the physical location where this endpoint is hosted.
   Disabled/Enabled:	Move the slider to set the availability of this call flow.

3. To build a call flow/dial plan, drag and drop components on the right to the callflow section on the left, in the required sequence after the Start module. (what is the final terminology to use between call flow and dial plan?) 

   You must configure the call flow components individually before you can use them to build a call flow.

   

   • Click Clear to remove all components from the call flow/dial plan.

   • The Inbound Number(s) is the number that starts the call flow when dialed. When you click Edit, the Options window opens. Select a provisioned number or add an extension number, and click Add to Callflow.
