The Settings tab allows you to verify or adjust a number of configurable settings.



General settings

  • Contact Timing – Sets the default campaign dialing restriction. Also known as Dialing Regime.
  • Dialing Sort – The method of deciding the sequence in which accounts in a campaign will be dialed.
    • Consecutive - Uses the order in which records are loaded, from the first record to the last record.
    • Contact Name – Organizes by time zone then sorts accounts by "Customer First Name" and dials A to Z (Abigail would dial before Xena). 
    • Default - Orders by attempt (lowest first), the start time of the area code (ET, CT, MT, PT, etc.), and then the order in which records were loaded.
    • Inverted Consecutive – Uses the order in which records are loaded, from the last record to the first record.
    • Mid point Consecutive – Starts dialing from the midpoint of the list down, then midpoint up to completion.
    • Contact Name No Area Code - Similar to Contact Name, but lacking the time zone sort.
    • Campaign Round Robin - Sorts inventory by the record's relative position in its campaign,then campaign ID. Will dial records proportionately across all playing campaigns.  Within each campaign, maintains record sequence based on the order in which records appeared in the original input file.


If Contact Timing is applied it will override Dialing Sort settings. Only the Default, Contact Name, Contact Name No Area Code, and Campaign Round Robin settings support dialing multiple campaigns simultaneously


  • Cycle Sort Daily  When checked, cycles through account sequencing (Dialing Sort) methods on a daily basis.
  • Is Cross Requeueable - When checked, allows campaigns loaded to this service to be requeued to other services within the same call center.

"Account Management" functionality must be enabled for your site for this setting to take effect. Contact client-services@livevox.com for more information.


Contact Rules

  • Contact Max Attempts Per Day - sets the maximum number of times a unique account can be attempted per day. The default is zero. Zero value settings allow unlimited attempts. If client level setting is set at greater than zero, it will take precedence.
  • Contact Max Phone Attempts Per Day - sets the maximum number of times a unique account + phone combo can be attempted per day. The default is null. If client level setting is set at > zero/null, it will take precedence.
  • Contact Max Attempts Lifetime - sets the total amount of times a unique Account can be attempted.
  • Contact Max Phone Attempts Lifetime - sets the total amount of times a unique Account+Phone combo can be attempted.
  • Dialing Profile - Default dialing restrictions profile used.
  • Zip Area Mismatch – when selected, enables logic for comparing account zip code to an area code and dialing based on the rules set within this logic and the specific option chosen:
    • Off - feature is disabled.  
    • Dial-Time – Often referred to as Standard zip/area code mismatch
      • If the area code and zip code for a record donot correspond to each other (i.e. a “mismatch”), then the safe hours rule (11 am – 9pmET) will apply and the mismatched records will be dialed during this window. 
    • Dial-Time Optimized – Often referred to as Optimized zip/area code mismatch
      • If the area code and zip code for a recorddonot correspond to each other but fall into the same time zone, the system will respect that time zone’s dialing hours. If the area code and zip code for a recorddonot have the same time zone, the safehoursrule(11 am – 9pmET) will apply and the mismatched records will be dialed during this window.n
    • Dial-Time Overlay - enhanced zip area mismatch coverage to include all TZ's from Atlantic (GMT - 4) to American Samoa (GMT - 11).  
      • Start and End time for mismatch scenarios is dynamically set where the Start Time is based on the Western most open hours and the End Time is based on the Eastern most closed hours.

Note on Dial-Time and Dial-Time Optimized:

  •  Zip/area code mismatch functionality using the Dial-Time and Dial-Time Optimized setting applies from the Eastern Time Zone to Pacific Time Zone of North America including the United States and Canada. These services are not available for Hawaii and Alaska area codes and zip codes.
