Number

A number pattern that describes phone numbers. You can use wildcards to describe several phone numbers at once or you can type the exact phone number.

 

To add an exact number please type it (e.g. 18001234567). Then the phone number 18001234567 matches it.

To add a group of numbers that start with the same prefix, use the % character at the end to specify that the current string is the prefix (e.g. 420609%) Then 4206091, 420609123456 and 420609 match it.

 

To add a group of numbers that differ in one digit, use the x or _ (underscore) at the place, the digits may differ (e.g. 420609x23456 will match both 420609123456 and 420609723456.) If several digits differ, use several wildcards respectively (e.g. 420609xxx456).

 

To add an extension as a number pattern just type it. The system then checks whether this extension is configured for the customer:

 

  • If the extension is found, the system adds it to the list and displays its name and type.
  • If the extension is not found, the system notifies you and suggests you to either add the number as it is (it is then considered as a phone number) or to cancel the addition.
