Dialers
Menu Dialers to supervise the system.
Full details of the state of the dialers, allowing you to manage your activity and load information.
Telephony Dialers
The system starts according to the created scheduler.
When starting, the system creates a task for each Dialer defined in the system, the same start and end according to the scheduler they have. All values can be seen on the Monitoring Dashboard in real time for that dialer.In order to monitor the user must select the campaign by clicking on the menu situated on the left top corner, unfolding every SMS dialer campaign in the system.
Dashboard
Once the campaign was selected the section will show the following:
It is possible at any time to stop or turn on again the campaign manually from the 
play or 
stop button on the upper side of the screen. It is possible to upload new lists or black list registries, it is also possible to download the lists of the dialer by pressing the lists button located on the right upper corner of the screen.
Parameters top bar
Status: Show the general state of the campaign on base to the following status:
Inactive
Active
In date : Show if the campaign is in date according the definition, with the following status:
Inactive
Active
Type: Indicates the type of campaign that is defined.
Power Dialer - Overdial: Percentage of overdial configured for this campaign, this value can be edited by clicking on this icon 
Predictive - Maximum Abandon Rate: Percentage of Maximum Abandon Rate configured for this campaign, this value can be edited by clicking on this icon
Actives calls: Show the amount of actives calls at the moment, in case that the campaign is on date.
Power Dialer, Preview y Progressive - Max Channels: Maximum of channels configured for this campaign, this value can be edited by clicking on this icon
Predictive - Max Channels Per Agent: Maximum of channels per agent configured for this campaign, this value can be edited by clicking on this icon
Answered: Show the amount of calls answered at the time for the campaign.
Not Answered: Number of calls that were not answered.
Busy: Show the amount of busy calls at the moment by the campaign.
Other: Show the amount of calls whit different states a answered and busy at the moment by the campaign.
Total: Number of total calls processed.
Contacts Processed: Number of people successfully contacted.
Contacts Not Processed: Number of people not contacted yet.
Blacklist: Show the amount of blocked calls that are in the DNCR.
Scheduled: Number of registries scheduled to contact later.
AMD: Amount of calls answered by voice mail and the percentage of this value regarding attended calls.
Human: Amount of calls answered by a human and the percentage of this calculated by AMD calls * 100 / answered calls.
Contactability: It indicates the percentage of calls answered of the campaign. Indicated two values, the first one represents the contactability per call and the second per contacts.
The percentage from the first one, includes AMD values, and its defined by, for example, if we have 2 contacts registered on this dialer with 3 types of phone each contact (Home, Work and Mobile), if one client answers from one of the phones, the contactability percentage will be 16%.
The second value regards the total number of contacts registered on the dialer, if we have 2 contacts and one of them answered, the contactability percentage will be 50%.
Table: On the table situated on the left down corner will be shown the client's information that the dialer is processing, Number, Retry, Data, Client's Data and Base name from where the data is coming.
Deleted from the contact list the number specified here.
Processed Graph: Shows the percentage of processed and not processed calls.
Real time graph that shows the total of active calls, busy agents and calls that are being dialed.
Agents Status Graph:
Inside the graphic you can see the sate of the agents. Below the graph be can filter the agents that do not want to see by pressing the name of the state of the agent that you want to remove the graph. The states are:
No available: Those agents that are not logged in the system.
Available: Logged agents in the system that are not in a call.
Busy: Agents in active call.
Pause: Agents who are in pause mode. They can not receive calls no are on a call.
Busy pause: Paused agents currently have an outgoing call.
Wrapup: Agents that are in a state wrapup can not receive calls during a short period of time to complete its management. Wrapup time set out in your campaign settings. It begins when the call is ended campaign.
Statistics: Being different from the Processed graph, here the user can see in real numbers the amount of Completed calls with its total time, Abandoned ones with its percentage rate, ACD and total waiting time, and Service Level with the total amount of calls made.
Calls Graph in Real Time: This graph shows the amount of total active calls, busy and completed ones.
Note: In some occasions it is possible to see on the graph that the amount of busy agents is greater than the total as well as viewing the dialing with a negative value. This happens when the campaign makes manual calls or when it has incoming calls that are not from the dialer, anyways the graphs show the evolution of the dialer.
The task is executed, the task is the responsible for making the calls obtained from the calls spool (calls_spool table), this are obtained according to the dialer type and are dialed according to the dial string of the same (it can be by TDM or VOIP), note that it will only work on Digital lines, VOIP or Analogics with Disconnect Supervision (inverted polarity). Once the call is executed, its status will change. Calls are only obtained from the active list.

SPOOL CAMPAIGN: Name of the dialer for the contact. DESTINATION: Contact telephone number. STATUS: Status of the contact
DATA: Values given to the workflow to be able to use. ALTERNATIVES: Alternative numbers for the contact separated by : RETRIES: 0 initially, > 0 amount of retries for that number. CONTACT: Auto-generated to differentiate the contact. DIALERBASE: Name of the uploaded dialers base, it has name plus the uploaded date. PRIORITY: 9999. to 1, initially all are inserted with a high number, but by reasons of the calls scheduler of the dialer, calls will be inserted with 1 to be executed immediately while the dialer is active. If it is required to give priorities to others, it is possible to insert them with intermediate values. AGENTPHONE: For Progressive dialer, to which agent goes each contact. The calls are deleted from the spool if they are answered or exceed the amount of retries defined by the dialer. |
If the system could process the call, it is deleted from the table, if it was occupied or no answer or if there where no channels, the call is retried, increasing retry by 1, this is to not be taken immediately and others will be processed before retrying it.
It is important not to overlap a lot of channels, if we have 30 channels and have 2 campaigns at the same time with a maximum of 20 channels, it is likely to result in dialer errors allowing to repeat some calls. Also when having more than 1 campaign, for a better performance it is a good idea to leave 1 pivot channel, since being an asynchronous system based on events, it is possible that at some millisecond it is dialing on other campaigns and the system does not have info that it is really active occupying an channel, therefore in border cases it is possible to jump a campaign, anyways if it jumps and was not possible for the system to create a channel because there are not, this will be processed later when the existent in the spool are completed as it will have one more retry.
Within the callerid (name) it is the VoiceBroadCast:Campaign:Dial number:List:Retry, this allows the tracking the system events to know how many calls are active by campaign and allows to re-insert calls in the spool that could not reach destination.
It's important the concept of Respool and Reschedule, the first allows to put you back a call almost be attended to continue dialer, and the second schedule a number to call later.
Lists
In this tab you can view and manage lists for a specific dialer increases.
Initially on the upper left side of the screen you can see the dialer status, if it is on date or not (it is established on the Schedule field on the campaign creation) and the type of dialer we are working with.
On the upper right side he user can find buttons to 
start or 
stop the dialer.
The system allows to have multiple lists for a campaign, when uploading the lists they will be inserted on that order, the first for a campaign it is marked as active, then the rest as inactive.
Also, it is possible to upload a list of numbers that do not wish to call (DNCR). The numbers entered are locked when placing the call. To clear the record numbers not call for the selected campaign simply click the red cross located on the bottom right of this screen.
Finally, this button located on the bottom right side allows the user to download a .csv file with a format guide to later Upload a List.
Deletes the scheduled activities for this dialer.
Deletes all lists uploaded for this dialer.
Move List: The user can move one list to another dialer. The following will unfold to choose where to move the dialer list:
| You can NOT move the lists to a Progressive type Dialer, because it requires the agent number to work, so the lists from other dialers will be incompatible. |
|---|
Timezones
| Rw ui textbox macro | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
A set of recently used time zones is maintained, which is updated as lists are uploaded.
When a dialer contains active lists for different time zones, your schedule extends.
For Example:
| Rw ui textbox macro |
|---|
The schedule set for the dialer is from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (local time zone of the server).
The client1 will be called at server time 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The client2 will be called at server time 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 pm. |

Upload of List
The right procedure to upload a new base:
|
|---|
The format is as follows:
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
campaignName;phone;aditionalInformation;alternativesPhones;priority[;agentPhone] |
The dialer will call the different numbers specified, depending on how the client arranged it on the Dialer Schedule.
Apart from the three types of telephones MWH, in the .csv file two more types can be specified, P for Priority and U for Unknown. The P one, will be called first and then the others specified on the schedule, and finally the U one.
There is the possibility of adding alternative numbers to call for the same contact, for example first to the house number, after the mobile and then separated work in the last parameters ":" . With this upload, its possible to transfer data base for every campaign is wanted at once.
| Code Block | ||||||

Upload do not call registry (DNCR)
Allows to upload a csv file with the phones that can not be call, indicates the phone number and the campaign.
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Download base: Allow to download the csv base with all the phone numbers of the campaign.
Notes:

Always that a dialer is generated, we have to take in account the following criteria:
The Phone agent parameter to upload it to the data base, is only necessary for the progressive dialer type. Its important to have in mind that if it is a Power Dialer, this one will execute if there are available agents in the system to make calls. The amount of processed calls at the end of each dialer may not correspond to calls originally uploaded, since there all call attempts that may have given error into consideration, they have not attended or have exceeded the waiting time, and the amount of retries is defined dialer. The dialer saves the name of the file and the date of upload like identifier of the base loaded, this information later is useful to create reports. The priority is the priority that will have the call in the queue, the highest priority is 1 and the lowest is 9999, if we want a call is placed before any other call we give priority 1, if in turn have several contacts with the same priority it does it is take the chance respecting priority levels. Fields like alternative phones and data are not obligatory, and if you have more than one variable is separated with a : between them. With the rest of the attributes necessary to load the base is separated ; as usual, but within these fields are separated with two points, that's the difference. |
Example: Progressive dialer:
| Campaign | Telephone | Data | Alternative Telephones | Priority | Agent's Phone Number or Agent's Username(Progressive) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| test1 | 098344484 | variable=value1:variable=value2 | 099111111:099121212 | 9999 | 1001 |
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||
test1;098789334;var1=val1:var2=val2:;091345675:098789543;9999;1001 |
Data table
The supervisor can decide from the dialers dashboard, which list wants to be active, the dashboard shows the lists in the system the amount of registries that is left for each one, allowing to activate or deactivate the same and the amount of registries per agent. To visualize the amount of registries for each agent, the agents icon must be pressed on the desired list. There you can see a dashboard with the agents of that list allowing to reassign contacts from agent to agent.
To reassign contacts from an agent to other you must press the Reassign button on the agents lists where the next image will appear.
Inside the information that the supervisor has to see uploaded list is the Contactability, this is the percentage of answered calls. To look this percentage we must pass throw the mouse in the table that show the data of the base.
Then select the desired agent and click on the reassign button to complete the action.
It can exist N active lists at the same moment and each has its percentage which must sum 100% in total, this percentage tells us how many contacts will get from the list to be able to mix the lists. As an example if you have two lists with 10 contacts each, if both have 50% of priority, it will execute 5 contacts from one list and 5 contacts from the other before continuing dialing.
To set the percentage for each list you must active the desired lists and then by clicking the percentage the next window will appear.
It is important to know that the scheduled calls are always priority, no matter what list is executing.
Once a list has ended and has 0 registries, this will be deleted from the system, an email is sent (AlertMail Configuration) noticing that the base has ended. We have 2 cases; the first one is that it does not exist another active list, if this happen an inactive list is active with 100% active (in the order that it was uploaded), if there are active lists, the percentage of the list that was in 0 it is added to the first uploaded list to be able to keep working on a 100% model.
It is possible to upload a Do not call registry (DNCR). This adds the uploaded numbers to the black list in order no to be able to call them.
Delete Button: Allows to delete the campaign data that have not been processed (for example, not processed registries that retuned an error or have been in the NDCR table, or for some reason want to be cancelled).
