Creating the Dialer Export File [4-2-8]

There are several predictive dialer interfaces in Collection-Master. These interfaces are affected by the values provided in the Consent fields.

Once you have set up [1-S-4-X-3], you may choose from the following formats to export for dialer interfaces.

  • CT Center [IAT/SmartDial] [4-2-8-1]
  • Export to TouchStart [4-2-8-2]
  • Export to Stratasoft [4-2-8-3]
  • Export to Global Connect [4-2-8-4]
  • SoundBite Menu [4-2-8-5]

Consent to Call Values

  • Y = Yes. Consent has BEEN provided.
  • N = No. Consent has NOT BEEN provided.
  • W = Wrong Contact. It is assumed that Consent has NOT BEEN provided.
  • Blank = Unknown. Depending on setup in [1-S-4-X-3], Blank may be assumed as Consent has BEEN provided.

W = Wrong Contact Flag

Wrong Contact Flag Functionality

  • Module: “SFGAG”,”WRGCONTACT”
  • DEBTOR.RET_MAIL=”W”
    • Phone: If a “W’ is in any Consent field, the system automatically removes the associated phone number and stores it in the Changes table. When reporting phone numbers in the SUF file, the system pulls the data from the Changes table when the Consent to Call value is “W”. When a new phone number is entered, it automatically makes the Consent to Call “Blank” if the Consent to Call value is “W”.
    • Mail: If a “W’ is in any Returned Mail field, the system automatically removes the associated street, city, state, and zip data and stores it in the Changes table. When reporting demographics in the SUF file, the system pulls the data from the Changes table when the Returned Mail value is “W”. When demographic data is entered, it automatically makes the Returned Mail “Blank” if the Returned Mail value is “W”.

Consent and the Call Screen

The Call Screen displays the Consent and Consent Type fields. During the call, the Consent and Consent Type fields may be updated by selecting the combo box option. This means you can either click the arrow to choose from the drop-down list or type the appropriate value inside the field. Updating the information will also update the values in the DPHONE table available from the debtor screen.
