The Lists Section

You can find the Lists section under the Contacts Manager menu:

Create a list

To create an agent click the New List button 

Enter the list’s details:

• Name

• Description (optional)

After the list is created, you can edit list details, add contacts to the list, add agents to the list and manage list’s custom fields and dispositions.

Edit a list

Find the list from the Contact Manager lists and click on Edit List:

You will see 3 sections:

• Settings, where you can edit the name and description of the list

• Custom fields, where you can create, edit or delete custom fields of the list

• Dispositions, where you can create, edit or delete dispositions of the list

Settings

In the Settings General section you can change the name and description of the list, or associate a Dial Prefix to it. 

A Dial Prefix is a number sequence that will be used in the click-to-dial functions of Omni Desktop Contacts and My Contacts sections. Anytime a contact of the specific list is called, this prefix will be added to the number dialed: this will make possible to use proper outbound routes (which must already be existing) when calling the contacts of one list.

Manage custom fields

We provide by default some contact fields that you can set when you add a contact in a list.

In addition to these fields, you can create and use custom fields, specific for that list.

To create a custom field, click on New Custom Field  and fill the details

• Alias: name of the custom field that will be displayed on the contact’s view

• Type: type of the custom field. You can use one of the following custom field types:

  • Text: a simple text input field

  • Select: a single choice list. To add the choices for the select, write the text and click enter.

  • Number: a number input field

  • Switch: toggle switch with values true/false

  • Datetime: Date and time picker

• Required: set true if you want to make the custom field mandatory

Click Add Custom Field to confirm. After the custom field is created, you can view, edit or delete it under list of custom fields.

Now if you add or edit a contact in the list, you will be able to set the custom fields you have create in that list.

Manage dispositions

Disposition (Call disposition) is a label that can be applied to interactions records to describe them: for example, an agent who managed a call can indicate the type or resolution of the call (see How to dispose calls). 

By default, the following dispositions are available:

• Fax

• Answer Machine

• Interested

• Not Interested

• Sold

• Special

• Blacklist

• Reschedule

To create a disposition, click on New Voice Disposition  and fill the details:

• Name: name of the disposition that will be displayed for agents managing contacts in this list

Click Add Voice Disposition to confirm. After the disposition is created, you can view, edit or delete it under list of dispositions.

Add contacts to a list

Administrator or users with contact manager list permission can add contacts to a list. In order to add contacts to a list, find the list in the lists and click on Show Contacts.

You will be directed to Contacts Section. You can add contacts in two ways: add a single contact manually or upload multiple contacts from CSV file.
