Format Object

Start

  1. In Genesys Administrator, go to Provisioning > Outbound Contact > Formats.
  2. Click New.
  3. On the Configuration tab, define the fields, as in the following subsection.
  4. On the Options tab, define option(s) in the default section.
  5. Click Save and Close.

End

  2. In the Navigation panel, click the Fields tab.
  3. In the Details panel, click Add.
  4. From the Field dialog box, select one or more fields that you want to include in the Format object.
    Note: These fields were created by default as part of the Default_Outbound_6 and Default_Outbound_70 formats.
  5. To customize this format with user-defined field(s), in the Field dialog box, click New.
  6. Define the field(s) following the procedures in the section Creating a New Field Object.
    Note: Do not remove mandatory fields.

    Warning: You cannot delete a format if it is associated with a Table Access object or Filter object. You cannot modify existing fields after you associate the format with a Table Access object.
