    Figure: Adding an Outbound Routing Policy

  3. Select any of the following Policy Types.
    • Basic Single Call Context Type: It is the policy type in which outbound calls will be dialed out from the single call context.
    • Phone Based Call Context Type: It is the policy type in which Voice-Admin can define the pattern on basis of which numbers will be dialed out from multiple call context. It will only reflect after procuring appropriate licenses.
    • Basic Multiple Call Context Type (Licensable): It is the policy type in which outbound calls will be dialed out from multiple call context. It will only reflect after procuring appropriate licenses.
    • Multiple Type Round Robin Call Context Type: It is the policy in which if a call tried by a call context fails to get connected, then it will be tried by the different call contexts that are selected for calling as per Round-Robin algorithm. As per Round-Robin Algorithm, each call context is used to call for a fixed amount of time and if the call does not get connected in that duration, another call context is used. The left over call context is reused when all other call contexts in the loop are used and the call is still not connected.

    Make sure to not provide a name for the Routing for any "Outbound: Feature Context". The name will be assigned automatically after selecting the call contexts.

    The Outbound Routing with manual names will not work.

  4. Click "Assign" link under "Assignment" header to select a call context that you have assigned in this campaign in "Call Context" Tab. Following pop-up is displayed for "Basic Single Call Context Type" on the page.

Saving Routing Test Result

When a voice admin creates a routing test case, they may want to check that test case frequently so that any issues in the routing can be figured out easily. Allowing the voice admin to save these test results saves an enormous amount of time for them.
On the Routing Test screen, the voice admin can save the test cases. The saved test cases are listed on the same screen.
