1. The person and the phone
A user is a person’s login account. Our agent user is learner1, and LABTEAM is the user group that holds shared access settings.
A phone, also called a station, supplies the audio connection. Our station is 8001. Its login is separate from learner1: the Agent interface asks for station credentials and then the user credentials.
2. The campaign and list
Campaign LAB01 is the calling job; its settings determine how its agents work. List 90001 is the collection of contacts assigned to LAB01. A campaign can use several lists, while each list belongs to one campaign at a time.
3. A contact and its result
A lead is one contact record in a list. For practice, you will add fictional contacts to list 90001 using the lab’s internal test number.
After a call, the agent selects a disposition, meaning the call outcome. The available choices depend on the campaign.
4. Check the example
Match each identifier to its job.
- LABTEAM is the user group; learner1 is the agent user.
- 8001 is the phone station; LAB01 is the campaign.
- 90001 is the list; each contact record in it is a lead.
5. If two terms sound alike
The user identifies the person; the station provides audio. The list holds contacts; the campaign holds calling settings.
