When using VanillaSoft, you might encounter terms like 'Call Flag' and 'Closed Flag,' which are crucial for managing your database. Here's what each means and how they differ:
Call Flag
- If a contact has a Call Flag (also known as "being flagged"):
- The contact is available in the routing queue.
- The contact will only route to the Contact Owner if one is selected.
- If no Contact Owner is selected, the contact will route to anyone available.
- The contact will not route through the queue if it also has a Closed Flag.
Closed Flag
- If a contact has a Closed Flag (also known as "being closed"):
- The contact will not route through the queue.
- The contact cannot be reopened by simply reflagging or resulting.
- To reopen the contact, an Admin must:
- Manually uncheck the Closed Flag box on the Contact Information page.
- Update the contact by running a query.
In summary, while a Call Flag indicates that a contact is available in the queue and can route to a Contact Owner, a Closed Flag means the contact is closed and will not route through the queue, requiring specific actions by an Admin to reopen it.
