MAS - CA - Caller Applications Node

This topic describes the context-sensitive commands and screens available, when a caller applications node is selected in the tree of the Modular Messaging Caller Applications window.

Notes: For information about the main window and other nodes, see MAS - CA - Modular Messaging Caller Applications Window & Nodes. For an overview and procedures for using caller applications, see MAS - CA - Understanding Caller Applications and, in particular, MAS - CA - Procedure - Creating & Editing Caller Applications.

Caller Applications Node

When you create a new caller application or open an existing one, it appears as a sub-node of the Modular Messaging Software Caller Apps node. Each caller application has its own node.

When you select this node in the tree, the right hand pane lists the Name, Action type and Description of the application (action) nodes within the selected caller application.

The icon for the caller application node varies, depending on its current status:

You will see this display, when the caller application node is fully configured and the caller application has been saved.

The green arrow attached to the icon indicates this node is the start of the caller application.

You will see this display, when you first create the caller application node. You must add one or more application (action) nodes beneath this node or change the Action type in the Properties dialog box.

Menus and Icons available from this node

Action > Save Application Saves the caller application with the same application name and embedded ID, and also increments its revision number.

Action > Save Application As... Saves the caller application with a new application name and embedded ID. On the next deployment, this caller application is treated as a new application by the MASs in the voice mail domain.

Action > Close Application Closes the caller application. The system prompts you to save any changes made since the last save.

Action > Set Application Start Sets the selected node as the start point of the caller application. The node then displays a green arrow (

Note: The caller application node is set as the start point by default but, if the start point has been changed, this command resets it.

Action > New > Application Node Launches the Add Node dialog box, where you can create an application (action) node within the caller application. It then appears beneath the caller application node in the tree. See MAS - CA - Add Node Dialog Box.

Action > All Tasks > Deploy Caller Application Launches the Caller Application Deployment Wizard, which guides you through the deployment of the selected caller application. The caller application must be saved before this command is enabled. See MAS - CA - Caller Application Deployment Wizard.

Action > Properties Displays the Properties dialog box for the selected caller application. You must use this dialog box to set properties that apply to the caller application. It is not configured correctly until you do so. See MAS - CA - Properties Dialog Box.
