  • Hidden field. Click to tick this checkbox if you do not want a field on the contact card for the agent.
  • Non-editable field. Click to tick this checkbox if you do not want agents to be able to update this field.
  • Required field validation to make an order. This setting is only available for outbound campaigns. Click this drop-down to apply rules to a field whenever an order is created. The validation options are:
    • Not empty. You cannot create the order if this field has no content.
    • Number. This field can only contain a properly formatted number. Note that this checks for a number, not a phone number.
    • Finnish. For the Person ID field, you can require it to contain a properly formatted Finnish social security number.
    • No validation. The default for all fields. 
  • Require validation also when saving contact.
    • For outbound campaigns this is a checkbox that you can click to tick to apply the same validations rules whenever the agent saves the contact, whether there is an order or not.
    • For inbound projects, this is a series of drop-downs with the same validation options as above, that are applied whenever the agent tries to save the contact.
  • Field type. Select the type of information this field can contain.
    • Text. The default value. The agent can type any text in this field.
    • Number. The field only accepts numbers. The agent will see up and down arrows to click through whole numbers, but the number can be a decimal.
    • Dropdown. The field has a specific list of options, defined in the Field values column.
  • Field values. Only  available if the Field type is selected as Dropdown. Click the edit icon   to create or edit the list of options for the drop-down list. Type each option followed by Enter. Click OK when done. When the agent attempts to change the value for this field, they will be offered a list of these options to choose from.
