Setting up project overrides
The Overrides page provides options for changing the parameters that control dialing for a subset of records. All records, except those in the specified subset, continue to follow the base dialing rules.
Parameters that can be overridden are:
▪The maximum number of attempts for a record.
▪The call back delay for numbers that are not answered, busy, answered by an answering machine, or started on the web.
In addition, you can specify that a subset of records be identified as having a high priority. High priority records are generally called before other records. This feature could be used, for example, if you discover that the completion percentage for a particular subset of records (region for example) is particularly low. You could indicate that the subset has priority until the completion percentage reaches the average, at which point you could disable the override.
