Calls
Overview
A call is a record of an interaction, or an attempted interaction, between an agent and a contact that may or may not have been recorded. The Calls module allows you to manage the records of each interaction and any voice recordings made.

6. Local Area Based CLI
This feature is used to customise the CLI on an Outbound Campaign based on customer location which will make the CLI appear as local CLI for every lead. The feature enables the Dialler Manager to configure Campaign and map local CLI per unique Contact Data Field such as "State".
Where to find this feature
This feature becomes available on a Campaign Configuration under Campaign Details Section on every Outbound Campaign

How to configure this feature
To use this feature you must first create an Outbound Campaign.
Before you import the Lead List to be used for the Outbound Campaign, create the Data Field that will be used to identify the CLI.

Make sure that you have ticked the box for "Display in Lead Search" as this will enable you to select the data field for mapping when you import the Lead List.
From the Campaign Menu dropdown select Leads and import/create the Lead List to be used for the Outbound Campaign. When you import/create the lead list the newly created Data Field will appear when you are prompted to map the fields from the import file to the fields in the database.

You will note above that the Data Field that was set up before the Lead List was created is now available to the data field that will be used to identify the CLI to be displayed. This Data Field does not have to be called "State". It could be called any name e.g. "Area" or "Postal Sate" or any other name.
Now that the field has been mapped and the Lead List has been imported/created, you can go back to the Campaign Configuration page to select the option to display the Dynamic CLI. Select the Edit option to configure the CLI for the Campaign.

Select Dynamic CLI from the dropdown list.
Once selected, you will note that a new section called "Dynamic CLI" will be presented on the screen as shown below.

Select the Data Field from the dropdown list available that will be used to identify the CLI to be displayed when the Lead is contacted from the Lead List.
When you . have selected the Data Field, the system will display all the values attached to the Data Field so you can select the CLI to be displayed as shown below.

You can now map the CLI to be used for each of the values in the lead list. If a CLI value is not mapped, then the system will use the Default CLI that has been selected on this page.
Note: You don't have to select the CLI that is in the file. For each of the values present, you can select the CLI on the file, The Organisation CLI, or the Agent CLI.
Once the mapping has been done, you can save this page, and the Campaign now ready for the Agent.
