Description of particular rule types and their behaviour can be found in inbound calls section. In this article, only the visual editor controls and usage will be described.

Editor layout

After opening, you can see the list of currently defined rules in you instalation. The list is grouped according to the rule types: Preprocessing, Queue determination a Postprocessing. Every group can have arbitrary number of conditions, which are evaluated according to the possition in the list.

Buttons in the header:

  • Save changes - saves all the changes. If you leave the editor and won’t save the changes, you will loose them.

Working with rules

To create a rule, press the Add Rule button located at the end of each group. Its behaviour varies depending on the group. For the Queue determination group, a dialog box will appear where you select a skill level and a queue, and this is how the rule will be preset in the group. For the remaining groups, a new, yet empty, rule will be created in the list.

You can delete the rule by pressing the “dustbin” icon at the end of each row and change their order by drag & drop.

Particular rule definition

After creating the empty rule in the list, you have to define its content, so it can work properlly.
