Dialogue flows – main window

Through the Dialogue flow window you get an insight into the configuration and the option of making some changes yourself. Functions presented in text and pictures are everything there is to see and execute, for anyone with complete access rights.

Requires the Own dialogue flows access right.

In other words, not all users of the Dialogue flows window see all the described buttons, menu choices, etc.

You can see and update the various details for dialogue flows in different ways.

  • In the Dialogue flows window you can create, remove and change the names of dialogue flows.
  • Flow details such as timers, phrases and which object that is to be the next in the flow, is changed via the windows opened when you click on the separate flow objects.
  • Functions that you may have to view in a more collected way are found in separate views that are opened with the convenience keys at the bottom of the Dialogue flows window.

In the following screenshot you see an overview of how the various fields in the main window can be used.

Many of the functions in the windows under Routing | Dialogue flows can be accessed via context menus.
Access numbers are the numbers used to make a call to your contact center.
Click on the link to see, in the Dialogue flows list to the bottom left, in which flow the access number is included.
You can sort tables, use dividing bars to change the size of fields and use pull tabs to hide fields. The changes you make, will be remembered for each time a window is open, but only until ACE Admin is closed. The next time you start ACE Admin all parts will be reset to the original size and sorting.
This is where you see the parameter assignments applicable for the access number selected to the left, including the values the parameters can have.
