The rules defining the inclusion of numbers for an account, sequence of dialing, whether to move to the next number in the sequence, and requeue inclusion are set using the Strategies editor. You can view all available strategies in the Strategy editor. Expand below to learn more. 

You can use the Filter option to search for specific strategies. Filter options can include character, numerical, and special characters (_, -, *, so on) values.

You can view all available strategies in the Strategy editor. The basic settings are defined here.

  • ID: System assigned identifier. 
  • Name: Assigned by you to identify the strategy.
  • Sequence: The phone fields from your input filter and their order of potential dial are the sequence. Consult your Input Filter to see which input file location contributes to each phone field.

The system supports all 30 phone fields in the dialing strategies configuration for international next-number dialing.

    The dialing behavior of a Strategy is based on the individual outcomes a contact can receive. This editor allows different views/organization of the outcomes and enables you to configure how the system should behave for the account.

    There are three filters that you can select using Filter By to help you configure the behavior:

    • Outcome Strategy: Only outcomes set to Dial Another Number, Try Another Round of Dialing, or Requeue appear in this view.
    • All Requeueable Results: The previously default platform strategy view of all commonly used outcomes.
    • All Platform Results: Every possible agent or system assigned outcome.
    • Category: The overall group in which the outcome resides. View the entire category by selecting the category from the far left column hierarchy.
    • Result: The platform Result name for the contact outcome (can differ from what the agent sees). See the Termination Codes editor to understand which agent-selected codes map to the platform Results.
    • Termination Code: The outcome agents that appear on your site's default service.
    • Dial Another Number: Indicates that the next number in the sequence will be dialed if this outcome is reached.
    • Minutes Between Rounds: If another round of dialing occurs for the sequence, the amount of time to wait before beginning.
    • Max Rounds: The maximum number of attempts during a campaign for a number reaching this outcome. If the last outcome for a sequence has Max Rounds of 1, the sequence restarts at the beginning.
    • Requeue From Prior Campaign: Looks at the prior run and, if the final outcome has this checked in this strategy, includes it in the requeue campaign. Only used if the strategy is assigned to a requeue.

      Select a strategy and double-click to make any changes to the Minutes Between Rounds, Max Rounds, Dial Another Number, and Requeue From Prior Campaign fields.
