Outgoing DDI Rules

Most calling entities in IvozProvider require an outgoing DDI when placing calls to external numbers. This includes: Users, Friends, Faxes, Retail Accounts, and so on..

But there are some cases when a single outgoing DDI is not enough, and the presented DDI depends on the called number. To archive this dynamic outgoing DDI selection you can use Outgoing DDI rules.

Before creating a new rule, it would be required to frist group the destination numbers in Match Lists.

For this example, we will create a match list of corporative mobiles with all the mobile numbers of our company workers. When we call to those numbers, we will keep the original outgoing DDI assigned to the user, and for the rest of the cases we will force the DDI to the main company outgoing DDI.

Create a new Outgoing DDI Rule

The main creation screen defines the action that will take place when no rule matches the dialed destination, so we define to force the main company DDI here.

Assign rule lists actions

Now we add a new rule that will match our mobiles to make the user’s outgoing DDI be kept uptouched.

Assign rule to callers

At last, we have to configure who will use this rule to dynamically change it’s presentation number. We can do this in the Company’s edit screen or the Users’s edit screen.

In this case, the User will present 777777777 DDI when calling Coporative mobiles and 666666666 when calling the rest of the external numbers.

Attention

Current implementation of Outgoing DDI rules won’t work for diverted calls (out of schedule, holidays or user’s call forward settings).
