| · | Name of this schedule: Simply the name you want to assign to this schedule.
|
| · | Mailbox to jump to: Call Soft need to assign this call to a mailbox. This is because Call Soft treats the call as if the recipient has called us.
|
| · | When it starts: This will change depending on what type of schedule it is i.e. daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or one time only.
|
| · | Message to play/say: The message you want the recipients to hear. This can be a wave file you record or a text file if you want the message spoken using TTS (text to speech). If you are using speech you can simply type the message you want spoken instead of creating a text file. When this call is activated the message defined in the "Mailbox to jump to" will be replaced with this message.

| Drag and drop contacts from your phonebook into the "People to call" window. You can also drag and drop an entire group from the folders window. If you want to add a number not in your phone book enter the name and number in the "Add someone not in your phone book" section then click the Add button.
|
| Import from another source:
|
| You can also import names and numbers from a tab delimited text file. A delimited file is one where each record, in this case name and number, occupy one line in a text file (if you can open a file with notepad it's probably a text file) and the record items, in this case name and number, are separated by some delimiter, usually a comma or tab. This is useful if want to import names and numbers from another application. Most applications will export their data in a delimited format. Call Soft requires the information in this format:
|
| Where <tab> is a tab character and <cr> is carriage return and <lf> is line feed. In notepad when you hit enter for the next line the <cr><lf> are instered automatically. To try it create a new text file using notepad and on the first line enter a name, hit the tab key then enter a number and hit enter. Do this for the second line etc.
|
| Example tab delimited file:
|
| George Washington 214-555-1212
|
| Bill Clinton 703-555-1212

|
| · | Response required: If this option is checked then it's required the recipient send any tone to acknowledge they received the call. If they don't respond they will be called back in the number of minutes you specify. Call Soft will continue to call them back until the maximum number of tries is reached.
|
| · | Use Do Not Call Times: If your schedule is set to call several people it might take some time to call them all and could run into the nighttime hours. If you want to pause calling for some period of time specify it here. The schedule will resume when the "Instead wait until this time to continue" is reached.
|
| · | Record the call: Check this option and Call Soft will begin recording the call soon after dialing the number. The recorded call will appear in the incomming call history list as if it where a normal call.
