4. Voicemail Pro Actions

When a start point 150 has been added, it can be linked to an action. Each action can have one or several results, depending on the type of action, and each result can be linked to a subsequent action. In this way you can build up a call flow.

Each action can have a number of results (true, false, no answer, busy). The types of results depend of the type of action, most actions having just a 'Next' result. Each result can be used as a connection point to another action. See Connections

171.

A set of actions and connections can be combined and reused as a module. Modules 159 are reusable sets of actions. They allow you to create a sequence of actions that you can then use within any other start point's call flow. Changes to the module will affect all start points using that module. This simplifies the programming if a number of start points need the same sequence of actions.

You can double-click an action to display the properties in a series of tabs. Many actions share the same standard tabs but each usually also has a specific tab that contains options unique to that action's function.

The standard tabs of an action are:

General 176

Set a name for the action in the call flow and whether a PIN code is required by callers to use the action.

Entry Prompts

177

Sets the prompts that should be played to callers that reach the action.

Reporting 182

Use to provided reporting on calls that use the action. The reporting is done through the IP Office Customer Call Reporter applications.

Results 183

Displays the results configured for the action. Each result can be connected to a further action in the call flow.
