Load Delay Changes ( Live Transfers with Data)

• It is now possible to remove your Load Delay settings, and choose “Dupe Update” instead with your Reject in Vendor settings.
  • What will happen now is this:
    • 1. New Calls comes in, Lead Created and Agent can start working.
    • 2. Lead Gets Sent from Lead Provider
    • 3. Instead of Rejecting, Post system will UPDATE lead, and send notification to our Multi-user editing service as “System Process”
    • 4. Agent will have their Lead Data updated in real time when the update hits. Just like with Mutli-user editing, they will have the options to unset the data changes by clicking the button next to fields that have been changed.

Merge Tool is now Live. BE CAREFUL! No Undo!

Merging leads will take all the data from the listed leads and merge them into the selected “Merge Into Lead“.

The Merged Into Lead will have it’s lead data updated with information from the other leads. The Merged Leads will have their status set to Merged ( -1 ). A log of the Merge will be placed in the action log for all leads involved. Merging WILL effect reports regarding counts & costs, merged leads will no longer be part of reports, although still visible in your lead list.

On the lead you are Merging INTO ,you should select the “Protected Fields” you want to preserve from getting overwritten.

On leads you are Merging FROM, you should select the “Merge Fields” you want to allow an attempt to overwrite.

The “Merge Order” determines the order leads get merged from top to bottom, merging 1, then 2, and so on. You want the most Authoritative Leads inserted last. Drag and Drop the Boxes to Reorganize.

Regardless of Protected or Merge Fields selected, All Policies, Notes, Dependents, Touchpoints, Meta, Relational, Custom Fields, Dialer ID’s, Callbacks, Appointments, Favorites, Documents, Action Logs, Relay Logs, Relay Queues, Mailer Logs, View Logs, API Logs and Surveys will be merged by changing the Lead ID with the Merged Into’s Lead ID.

Merge and Protected Fields only include Uncommon Values among all Leads involved.  Unique Values will be merged in if they exist. Blank, or Unset values are filtered out.

THERE IS NO UNDO!!! If you forget “Merge Fields”, you can however, simply rerun the merge and choose the fields to merge again.

Surveys

• Surveys can now be run more than once on the same lead.
• Surveys each have a UniqueID created when running, so you can follow the path per survey on a lead.

Admin Dashboard

• Now when selecting Include Post Dates, will include Post Dates Total at bottom and table of Post Date Conversions created in the time span. (Not Post Dates Submitted)

TQL

• Fixed a bug with _has and date

• Admins can now change Fronter and Fronted Date on the Contact.
• Made it possible to prevent agents from entering a Duplicate by phone number on Manual Entry. (Removes the yes, make the dupe checkbox).

Linked Dependents (Create Lead from Dependent)

• Now possible to click “Create Lead” on a Dependent. Bypasses Dupe check. Allows you to more easily create policies for a dependent if they choose to buy now or in the future.
  • Copies Dependent information to new contact. Once created, shows button that says Open Linked Contact.
  • Contact Itself will have a link back to where it came from.
  • Vendor and Marketing information will be copied. Price will not be copied. Address info from Contact will be used if not provided. Phone numbers from contact will be filled in if none in the Dependent. Same for emails.

Address Validation

    • Originally we could only do State by CallerID.
    • State by Postal was a Standard Feature of Vici, but it required user manual entry. We created our own that serves both purposes.

Lead Posts

Fixed a terrible, unreported and  unnoticed bug with Dupe checking. Now let us never speak of this again…

• Added “Price” as a postable Field. This should help with Vendors that are capable of passing the Bid Price along with the lead, which allows you to overcome the Fixed cost issue when setting on the Vendor. The QT Time feature will still work with TLDialer and remove the cost if the QT Time expires. But the original cost will be logged.
• Added “Debug” to Vendors, which will show you performance on result of a lead post. This will format itself based on the Response Type set.
  • Example: 1 Success: Success|time: 0.1198s|memory: 7.24 MB|peak: 7.53 MB|method: POST|code: 200
• Added a | to the front of successful TEXT based responses. This will allow you to parse it better. Debug information will also be separated by | key values will be separated by :
• Vendor Passthrough
  • Vendor Passthrough is when you use one Vendors Post ID and POST key, but pass in a different Vendor ID in the data parameters. Normally this only works via Uploads and FTP Sync. Now it can work via Posting data as well if enabled.
    • The Passthrough Filters will work with FTP and Uploads if set, but enabling it is not required for these Vendors.
  • You can now set the ability for Vendor Passthrough via POST.
    • The feature can be found in Vendors under Data
  • You can assign a Vendor group of Passthrough to be allowed.
  • You can assign specific Vendors to be allowed

TLDialer

• Fixed a Bug with Agent Emergency Logout.
• Live Agent Report Modifications
  • You will now see 3 Tables when there are Calls in Queue
    • Queue by List
    • Queue Campaign
    • Queue Details

Egress API

• Lead Data has been added to the Egress API

Login

• There was a bug that was preventing the external user whitelist from working. It now overrides all IP Restrictions as it should have.

Options

• Dialer tab is now known as Contact Form
• Contact Form section has been redone to make it a little easier to read and follow. Testing this layout.
• Fixed up some code related to options to save space and be more efficient.

Lead Relational

• Added Lead Dependent Relational

Users

• Can now search by Multiple User ID’s

Filters

• We can now assign Filters and see all your filters to assist you better with creating reports custom to your user.

Surveys

• Surveys now Support “Status Updates” when clicking a Button. This can be done at any point of a Survey.
  • Statuses will be Saved on the Survey as well as the Lead.
• Reorganized Survey Questions to have Tabs so we can add more features easier in the future. There wasn’t much space.
• Surveys can now be set to “Pop” Open when a Certain Status and loaded, similar to the Script Template Popup feature. Useful for New or Manual Insert Leads from the Dialer. The setting can be found in “Automation” under each Vendor.

Products

• Can now mass update product types.

TLDialer

• Dispositions
  • If you Disposition a Lead with a “Completed” or “Unworkable” status the system will Update ALL LEADS related to the Current Lead
    • Related Criteria
      • Status is Not Unworkable
      • Status is Not Completed
      • Not Current Dialer ID
      • Same Vendor Lead Code as Current Dialer ID
      • Phone Number in Any Phone Field from Current Dialer ID
      • Alt Phone in Any Phone Field from Current Dialer ID
      • Address3 in Any Phone Field from Current Dialer ID
  • DNC
    • The DNC Button now Properly Forces the Phone Numbers on the Lead into the DNC.
    • The Remove from DNC Button now Removes all Phone Numbers on the Contact out of the DNC.
    • DNC Add and Delete both update the Vicidial DNC Log properly.

  • Faster and more secure, less prone to JS Endpoint Issues.
  • Data now syncs regardless of wether you are on the Dialer or not.
    • Data sync is based on Lead ID and Dialer ID.
      • If Multiple Dialer Leads have the same Vendor Leads Code, all of them will be updated with the correct data.
• Dispositions now work when Offline (Not on the Dialer, and not on an Active Call, Not the Lead related to your call).
  • If you change your lead while in a Call, the system will ask you if this is the Correct Lead for the Current Call if the Dialer ID is different, or missing.
    • Pressing No will let you go about your business and continue editing as if it wasn’t that lead. This includes Dispositioning the lead. This will NOT disposition your call.
    • Pressing Yes will change the Dialer ID on the new Lead to the Call’s Dialer ID, and add the Dialer ID to the set of connected Dialer ID’s. It changes the merged leads vendor_lead_code to match the corrected TLD Lead ID. It also removes the Dialer ID From the Previous lead including the relational Dialer ID’s for that lead.
• Added TLDialer Agent Logs to TLDialer Section so you can sort and export data.
• You can now Hide the Ingroups dropdown  that shows up after logging in so your Agents don’t get upset when they notice the person sitting next to them has different ingroups.
• Fixed an issue with Mass Update TLDialer User, where it would remove their Ingroups from the Live Agents Table if you didn’t select any ingroups.
• Fixed an Issue with Hide Call Label Type where it was always and only showing the Outbound Call Label, but never the Inbound Call Label.

Custom Lead Statuses, Callbacks & Appointments

• You can now set a Custom Lead Status to open an Appointment Window, or a Callback Window. The lead will not change status until the Appointment or Callback is Set.

• New Relationship Field (Self) which added to Beneficiary Relationship

Options

• “Dialer” has been renamed to “Contact Form” in the options section since it makes more sense considering we have an actual dialer now.

Leads

• Leads section can now have preset Filters for when you click the “Leads” tab. This is useful for not having to create a filter to filter out Trash or Spam or other Custom Statuses you don’t care about.
  • This can be found in Options -> Settings -> Data

Lead Scorecard Report

• Now allows you to Filter Ancillary and Primary Policies as well as Products. Labels have been cleaned up to reflect.

    • This is useful when you have a list of leads with the same phone number, and you just rather have the dupes added as dependents since they may be related.
      • If the lead has Address info (as it may be different), we auto uncheck “Lead Address” for you to prevent any data loss on the addresses.

TLDialer – Significant Change!

• New Table: lead_dialer_leads
  • This table stores all the dialer leads associated with a lead when a duplicate if found and loaded instead of created newly.
  • How It Works
    • Every Dialer ID associated with a lead, including the current one, is stored in the lead_dialer_leads table
    • The lead_dialer_leads table is an association between lead_id and dialer_id
    • lead_id and dialer_id combos are unique.
    • When a lead is loaded via Manual Outbound, or Inbound, or any other method, when the lookup function of TLDCRM loads, it will check for both a Dialer ID (TLDialer Lead ID) and a Lead ID (TLDialer Vendor Lead Code).
      • Id a Lead ID Exists, it will load that lead precisely.
      • If a Dialer ID is passed along with the Lead ID, it will add the Dialer ID to the new table along with the Lead ID.
      • If a new lead is created with a Dialer ID, it will add that to the table as well.
      • Upon loading a lead that already existed, with a new Dialer ID, the system will set the CURRENT Dialer ID on the TLD Lead, to that Dialer ID, so that TLDialer and TLDCRM are working on the same lead. Updated will be passed to the TLDialer Lead, this includes if information already existed on the TLDCRM Lead.
        • An Action log will be added with the user loading the lead and the updated data.
    • Recordings will be lookup up via the Primary Dialer ID on the Lead, the leads in the lead_dialer_leads table, as well as any dialer_id’s in touchpoints.
  • A Link Icon will show next to the Lead ID, if there are entries in the lead_dialer_leads table. Click it to see the ID’s. We will allow for manual entry of Dialer ID’s onto a lead later to fix some merging issues.
  • A Broken Link will show next to a Lead ID where there are no entreis in the lead_dialer_leads table.
• What does this mean?
  • This may fix some issues where people get “stuck” unable to leave a lead, as well as making sure the right lead loads when you do a manual dial and click the dial icon. The problem we are possibly seeing is that when manual dialing, a  lead with similar properties loads, but is the wrong lead_id / Vendor lead code that what is actually loaded in Vici.
  • This also means you can prevent dupes by searching for and tagging leads with Dialer ID’s in Customer Service Queues, making sure you load the right lead without creating dupes.
  • It also means that recordings for the same lead on different phone numbers can show up in the recordings tab.
• Address3 / Phone 3
  • Address3 now works as a Phone Field (as per Vici Spec) and can be dialed as ADDR3. This field now syncs to Vici Database as well.

Report Update – Lead Scorecard.

• Please see the Reports -> Lead Scorecard Report for more information!
  • You can now see call data along with new leads created, spend, qualified costs (based on qualified time) and CPA as well as conversion %.
  • Click the labels tab and drag and drop labels to reorder the report. You can also hide fields and change the names of fields.

Bugfix

• Fixed an issue with aggregate queries not showing properly.

Reports

• Modified the Lead Vendor ScoreCard
  • Should show more accurate and Reliable results, even when no sales are made!
  • When TLDialer is enabled for you account, you can now see Total Inbound Calls, and Total Qualified Calls (Based on Vendor Qualification Time [QT Time]).
  • We will be expanding some more features and options into this Report soon.

Recordings

• The Contact Page will now search for Recordings in TLDialer by 3 criteria
  • 1st: Dialer ID, and TouchPoint Dialer ID’s
  • 2nd: Lead ID (Vendor Lead Code)
  • 3rd: Phone Numbers (Phone 1 2 and 3)

This should make finding recordings a bit easier.

  • All TLDialer Sections now have a “Filters Selected” feature at the bottom of the Open Filters Screen,
  • As you run your filters, it will update automatically.
  • You can click on the “X” next to a selected filter to remove it.
  • This should be a nice handy quick way to see what you have selected.
  • We will be adding this to other sections as we migrate them to TQL over time.
• String Filter Mods
  • We have added the following String / Text Filter Mods to the system.
    • Like
    • Not Like
    • Like Left
    • Not Like Left
    • Like Right
    • Not Like Right
    • In
    • Not In
  • You can search for comma, space, semicolon or pipe separated data in a text field by selecting IN or Not IN Mods after typing in your query.
• Number Filter Mods
  • Numbers now have the same Filter Mods as Datetimes.
  • You can search for comma, space, semicolon or pipe separated data in a text field by simply typing in the data without a Filter Mod.
    • Since it is a number field, any text characters will convert the field to an IN field. You can do some advanced things like setting an IN query to both the start and end of a number field, but it will only show you the data where it is common (Intersection)
• Query Builder Rewritten
  • Query builder now has a more efficient, and collision-prevention format.
    • This was actually a ton of work…but it should pay off in the future shortly.
  • All field mods now use field_tql=mod

Changes

• Added “Code” Multi-checkbox to Vendor Logs.

Fixes

• Fixed issue with Uploader not showing the Process button when all was well.
• FIx to Issue where View Recordings wasn’t being respected in the Dialer Contact.

Multi-Checkbox & Select Filters

Just got a WHOLE lot smarter.

• Now, instead of just trying to match the full text of what you have typed in for the filter, we also chunk your filter into pieces by “space” values, and then check for the presence of all combined pieces, regardless of order!
  • Example:
  • Field: System User
    • Type in system user
      • Match
    • Type in user system
      • Match
    • Type in usersystem
      • No Match
• Multi-checkboxes now have a ? that will open a window with detailed instructions, and tips and tricks on using them.

  • You will get a Notification with what was updated among how many fields.
  • For Example:
    • Mapping Agent ID & Creator ID & Assigned ID
    • If the Data is the same in all 3 fields, you can use fill out your map field with the most data, and then click “Copy Selections”
      • Any Values that Match in the other fields will have their value set to the one you copied.
      • Any Values in other fields that were already set will not be overwritten.
• Uploader Maps now has “Clear Selections”
  • This will clear the current Field Map you are on.
    • There is an Undo Button! You can undo the clear if you accidentally clicked it.

• Select Filter Update
  • Select Filter now is Smarter than before, see general changes to Filters above
• Quick Value Copy to Select Filter for Mapping.
  • You can Click or CTRL Click each space separated word in your Value column when mapping to copy that text into the filter and have it immediately filter.
    • If you Click text, it will overwrite the filter with the current text.
    • If you CTRL Click text, it will append that text to whatever is already in the filter, prepended with a space.
      • Example 1:
        • Your Filter Says “Florida”
        • You click “Blue”
        • The Filter now says “Blue”
      • Example 2:
        • Your Filter Says “Florida”
        • You CTRL Click “Blue”
        • The Filter now says “Florida Blue”
  • There is a Double Curved Arrow now next to each value, clicking or CTRL clicking it does the same as with text, except it copies in the ENTIRE value, not just pieces of it.
  • There is an X in the Filter Selects to clear the text filter now.
  • These tools can make matching super fast if your data is very similar to the mapped data in the system. Just click one or more text pieces and then select. This works well due to the changes to the way we filter items in the Select Filter

Help Section

• We now have a working “Help Modal” that will pop up when details could be given to confusing sections, or regarding workflow, etc.
• We will eventually compile these on a Master Page so you can see them all, as well as have them listed here on our Website for quick reference.
• Currently we have Started with a Help Section for Multi-Checkboxes, which goes in detail as to how they work and the variations to them throughout the system.
  • Below is a Snippet from this Help Document:

————————————————————

UI Help: Multi-Checkbox

Multi-Checkboxes allow you to select one or more value either for data entry or for filtering throughout the system. The way they work is standard throughout the system. Options and variations are explained below.

• There are two lists and states in each Multi-Checkbox: Checked and Unchecked.
  • When you Check a Checkbox, it automatically gets bolded, pushed and reordered to the top of the Multi-Checbox into the Checked list. This effect persists with page refreshes or saved settings, allowing you to see what has been selected much quicker and easier than sifting through the list.
  • When you Uncheck a Checkbox, the bold effect is removed and it is resorted back into the Unchecked list.

Selecting Multiple Items

1. Hold CTRL and press Left Click to Select an Item without having it Pop to the Top, this marks your starting point for multiple selection.
2. After Selecting your starting point, hold SHIFT and press Left Click any other item to Check / Uncheck all items in between your previously selected and currently selected item.

*Note: If you use this method on a Filtered List, it will only select the items in between the list that are visible, which is very handy! Filtered items will not be checked or unchecked.

Selecting All Items

1. Press and Hold CTRL + SHIFT and press Left Click to Select / Unselect All Items in a Multi-Checkbox.

Filterable Checkboxes

When a Multi-Checkbox has more than 11 Items, a Filter Box automatically appears to allow you to quickly filter through options using a smart match system based on what you type in.

The small inside the Filter Box will clear your current input.

Sortable Checkboxes

Sortable checkboxes allow you to Click and Drag selected items into the order you prefer. The system will preserve this order even on refresh, particularly for filters. This is most commonly used in Group By filters where the order of your selection sometimes matters and may change results or options.

Sortable Checkboxes are easy to find by looking for the / icon next to the / checkboxes.

Label Checkboxes

At times Multi-Checkboxes will have extra buttons at the top right of the label. Tools are usually placed there to either modify your filter results or to manipulate the checkbox in some way.

Check All Checkbox

Often we add a “Check All” button to the Label buttons as an easy way to toggle all fields on or off. These will be removed in the future in favor of the CTR + SHIFT + Left Click Method.

Dynamic Checkbox Options

Often we add other dynamic settings or commands to Multi-Checkboxes such as what is found in the Product Matrix section. These options usually have tooltips when hovering over them to discover what they are meant to do.

Label Buttons

Label buttons usually appear in Filter sections.

Not Button

When this button is selected, it tells the filter system to check for values that are NOT in the selected list.

Has Button

This will flag the system to check for the Presence of data for a particular field. A field is known to be present if it is Not Null and not Blank. Note that “0” in a text field is considered as present, but is not present in a number field.

Missing Button

This will flag the system to check for Absence of data for a particular field. A field is known to be missing if it is Null or Blank. Note that “0” in a text field is not considered as missing, but is missing in a number field.

Aggregate Button

The Aggregate Button is specific to the Group By Multi-Checkbox, and tells the system that you want to remove all Group By options, including system default ones. This normally flattens your result set to just one row. This allows you to pull dynamic total reports from any TQL (Total Query Language) Enabled System Section. All TLDialer Sections have the Aggregate option for example, and more sections will include this as we migrate all of our systems to using TQL.

Interface

• Fixed issue broken last patch with the filter tabs across the board.
• Changed Filters Button to be more Apparent, and also mobile friendly. Making use of the exact same space but making things easier to find.
• Created New TQL Fields Layout for Future use. We now have reusable widgets of equal heights so we can create fields and auto stack them so they are nice and neat.
  • Created new “Number” type with Native Ranges
  • Created 3 different height layouts for fields, 50, 100, and 200
• Cleaned up the Date Picker code as well as what else can show when it’s available.
• Changed Filters Icons to be larger  and more apparent, also more mobile friendly. Adjusted select box along with it and also optimized for mobile. Tested on iPhone X.
• Multi-checkboxes now have Custom Checkboxes instead of normal browser ones. This should standardize the look of the interface across browsers (although you really should be using Chrome).
• Filters Popovers where wonky. Moved them to face down and also moved elements around to stop the wonkiness.
• Found a bug with mobile view where the right hand menu was showing when it shouldn’t (only on mobile view for Desktop, via shrinking screen).
• Fixed a bug with Multi-selects not re selecting.

Dialer Feature

• New Dialer Option: Format Names on Save
  • This will auto Capitalize the First, Middle and Last Names.
  • It takes into account roman numerals: ‘II’, ‘III’, ‘IV’, ‘VI’, ‘VII’, ‘VIII’, ‘IX’
  • It also will try to split names by ‘, ‘-‘, “O'”, “L'”, “D'”, ‘St.’, ‘Mc’
  • It also has lowercase exceptions for ‘the’, ‘van’, ‘den’, ‘von’, ‘und’, ‘der’, ‘de’, ‘da’, ‘of’, ‘and’, “l'”, “d'”
• Added Format Names feature to Dependents and Policy Billing.

TLDialer

• Recordings
  • Added new filters to Recordings Sections.
  • Fixed some Schema Relationships for Recordings
  • Specifying only Critical tables for Recordings.
