Manual callout rules determine which tickets need a manual phone call (from someone at your company) as the positive response to the excavator. The phone number manually called is the one from the ticket. There are three rules:
- Ticket Type
- Ticket Type Category
- The kind of phone number on the one call center ticket
Manual callout rules apply in two situations:
- Whenever a positive response uses phone numbers (not email, fax, or SMS text message)
- If set as the last resort, manual callout rules apply after all response options have been tried (phone, email, fax, or SMS text message)
When tickets match a manual callout rule, they are put into the Manual Callout Summary to be viewed and worked (System Management ( 
) > Administration > Communication > Transmissions > Manual Callout).
- On the top menu bar, click System Management (
) > Administration > Ticket Management > Manual Callout Rules - On the Manual Callout Rules for Positive Response to Excavators page, click Modify Manual Callout Rules
On the Modify Manual Callout Rules for Positive Response to Excavators page, set up the rules:
