Editing an Outbound Target List

Service Center Representatives can edit the Target List Name and Description of an outbound target list before it is activated and while in an active state. Service Center Representatives can edit the Start Date and End Date for inactive Target Lists. Once a list is activated, Service Center Representatives can still edit the End Date; the Start Date cannot be changed.

To edit the details of a target list:

1. Select the Service Center tab.

2. Select the Outbound tab.

3. Select a Target List. The selected target list displays in the right-hand pane.
   

4. Select the Edit icon.
   

   Target list details can only be updated for Target Lists not yet activated or in an active state. Deactivated Target Lists cannot be edited.

5. Update the Target List Name and Description fields as needed.

6. 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.

7. Select Save.

To remove individual targets from an inactive Target List:

1. Open an inactive Target List.
2. Hover over the target you want to remove from the target list.
   
3. Select Remove Target.
   
4. 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.

Using the Outbound Tab for Calls to Targets

Service Center representatives can use the Outbound tab to initiate calls to targets, then document the outcome after a call is complete. When users initiate a call to a target, the Target Activity Guide for that target displays on the right and displays current call information, account information, and previous contact attempts (if any).

The Timeline Activity view is located in the Outbound tab in the right-hand pane and provides Service Center representatives with a full, chronological view of all their activities related to a target, starting with their first attempt to contact an HCP. Service Center representatives 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.

To initiate a call:

1. Log into Omni Connect.

2. Select the Outbound tab.

3. Navigate to the Not Started list and select a phone number to initiate a call. The Timeline Activity view is updated with the current attempt in progress. Updates continue to post as the interaction proceeds.

   Phone numbers display according to the account record.
   

   

4. 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

5. Enter target attempt comments. This step is optional.

6. 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.
