SCRs

SCRs can view high-level details about any selected target from the Outbound tab including the number of call attempts, recent activities, and current lifecycle state.

Before SCRs can interact with their accounts, they must create a Target List and add targets.

To create a Target List:

Navigate to Service Center > Outbound.
Select the + icon next to Target Lists if this is not your first Target List. Otherwise, skip to next step.
Select Create Target List:
- Enter a name for the target list (required)
- Enter a description (optional)
- Enter a start date (optional, but recommended)
- Enter an end date (optional)
Select Create.

To add targets to a Target List:

Create an Account View of the records to add to the Target List.
Add the Account Global ID column to the view.
Select Save.
Select Export > CSV from the All Actions (...) menu.
Open the .csv file in any supported app. The Global ID column displays.
Edit values in the Global ID column to remove all leading digits before the Vault CRM record ID. For example, 199955_V4T000000003234 must be edited so that only V4T000000003234 is listed.
Save the file.
Navigate to Service Center > Outbound.
Select the appropriate target list.
Select Import.
Select Paste Data to paste files from the .csv file you have copied to your clipboard, or drag the .csv file to the page to add the exported data.
Select Upload to CRM. Data is validated to ensure proper format.
Select Close. The new target list displays in the left pane in Service Center.
Select Activate List. All records are now active and are moved to Not Started status.

SCRs

Target Lists exist in three states:

Active (includes reactivated Target Lists) - SCRs can edit the Name, Description, and End Date of a Target List in this state. The Start Date cannot be changed.
Inactive - SCRscan edit the Name, Description, Start Date, and End Date of a Target List in this state, and can remove/restore removed targets
Deactivated - SCRs cannot edit Target List details of a Target List in this state

To edit the details of a target list:

Select the Service Center tab.
Select the Outbound tab.
Select a Target List. The selected target list displays in the right-hand pane.
Select the Edit icon.
Update the Target List Name and Description fields as needed.
Update the Start Date and/or End Date as needed.

The Start Date is automatically set as the date the list was activated. The Start Date cannot be updated for active target lists.
Select Save.

To remove individual targets from an inactive Target List:

Open an inactive Target List.
Hover over the target you want to remove from the target list.
Select Remove Target.
Confirm Remove Target.

The removed target remains in the list but displays as inactive. Removed targets can be re-added to the target list as long as the list is inactive.

SCRs

Target Lists are automatically deactivated when the SCR completes all target activities and all Target List records are closed. However, SCRs can also manually deactivate an unfinished but obsolete Target List and the associated individual targets, which removes the Target List from the active queue. This allows SCRs to focus on actionable targets.

All outbound target activities in a Target List must be in Not Started, Retry, or Closed status before SCRs can deactivate the Target List. Target Lists with scheduled activities cannot be deactivated.

To deactivate a Target List:

Select the Service Center tab.
Select the Outbound tab.
Select an active Target List to deactivate. The selected Target List displays in the right-hand pane.
Select the All Actions (...) menu.
Select Deactivate List.
Confirm deactivation. The Target List moves from the active queue to the Deactivated Lists section. All targets in the deactivated Target List with a status of Not Started and Retry are set to Done.

To view a summary of targets in the deactivated Target List, select the list from the Deactivated Lists section. Deactivated Target Lists display for 30 days from the date of deactivation.

Business Admins

Business admins can customize which phone number fields are prioritized for outbound target activities.

To configure preferred phone numbers:

Navigate to Business Admin > Objects.
Select the Console Application Settings object.
Select the Default object record.
Select the Edit icon.
Specify up to five preferred phone fields using "object.field" notation in the Preferred Phone Search field. For example, account__v.office_phone_cda__v;;address__v.phone_cda__v;;address__v.custom_phone__c. Standard (__v) and custom (__c) fields are supported.
Select Save.

SCRs

SCRs initiate calls to targets then document the outcome after a call is complete. SCRs do not need to create a call report for unsuccessful calls, saving them time and effort which can instead be applied to reaching more targets.

Available phone numbers for the target display, organized by their object type. If a phone object type is not available for the target, that category does not display. Phone numbers display in the following order:

Account
Account Primary Address
Primary Parent Account
Primary Parent Account Primary Address

When SCRs initiate a call, the Target Activity Guide for the selected target displays with current call information, account information, and a full, chronological view of all their activities related to a target, starting with their first attempt to contact an HCP.

To initiate a call:

Log into Omni Connect.
Select the Outbound tab.
Navigate to the Not Started.
Select a phone number from the drop-down list to initiate a call.
The Timeline Activity view is updated with the current attempt in progress. Updates continue to post as the interaction proceeds.

Select whether the target was reached and a corresponding value from the picklist (required):
- No (select reason):
- Not Available
- Voicemail
- Wrong Number
- Yes (select reason):
- Schedule
- Shared Content
- Do Not Call
- Not Interested
- Other
Enter target attempt comments. This step is optional.
Select Submit. The Submit action is not available while a call is active.

Once a call record is submitted, the target state automatically adjusts based on the outcome recorded:

Not Started - This is the default state
Retry - User did not reach the target and selected No. Maximum five retry attempts to reach the target before the target state moves to Closed
Scheduled - User reached the target and scheduled a followup call. Similar to a pending state.
Closed - Target was reached, or the maximum number of retries was met. Activity for the target is complete.
