Dial Phone
You can dial phone numbers directly from Collect! if your
computer is set up for it.
Dial Phone
Click the Dial icon at the top of the screen, and to the right of
phone numbers to start the Auto Dialer.
The Dial Phone form lets you choose to dial local, long distance
international and alternate access numbers. You can also dial
a number from the Quick Dial phone number list.
The Dial Phone form is displayed when you dial a phone number
and you have set the Prompt Before Dialing switch in the Auto
Dialer Preferences form or the number you are dialing has
more than 7 digits.
To dial a number, double-click or press F2 on any phone number
field. You can also select Tools from the top menu bar and then
select Dial a Number, or click the Dial icon at the top of
the screen.
Phone number fields are indicated with a small up arrow at the
end of the field.
Dial Phone is regulated through the WIP Options settings.
If you want the Dialer to start automatically whenever you select a
Phone type contact from the WIP List, switch ON 'Automatically
display dialer" in the WIP Options.
