Provisioning Portal defines five additional actions types that are available for Provisioning Portal use only.

Some of these actions provide the ability to link (point with an arrow) a block in the script to a placeholder. Linking is only possible in the same script.

Other actions combine existing Designer block and XMLInterpreter change behavior.

Add a flow item

Note

  • Block name must be unique in your tenant. When you try to reuse a block name, the system prompts that The block name already exist.
  • Menu List, Flow List and Working Hours List in the Select Block list for menuLink, flowLink and workingHoursLink respectively appear when none of these block types exist in the current branch. One instance of either one of these types can be added to the branch. When one instance of either one of the types exist in the branch, Menu List, Flow List and Working Hours List are hidden.
  • Block Location options appear when inserting an Action to the Flow. When adding the first Action, Add Block does not prompt for Block Location options, the Action is always added as the first Action. When adding Action to menuLink, flowLink or workingHoursLink, Block Location options is always Before current block, the Action is always added before the current block.

Stop

When assigning a flow with a Flow List block, be very careful not to create an infinite loop.

For example:

  • Flow1 is the source flow containing the actions you defined, and the flow has only one exit that joins Flow2. Flow2 is the target flow that Flow1 is added to as an action type with a Flow List block.
  • This scenario has a logical error that the system is unable to detect. The call will loop infinitely until the call times out in IVR and the system automatically terminates the call.
  1. Do one of the following:
  • To add the first action, click .
  • To add another action, in the action's row, under Actions, click and then click Add flow item.

The Add flow item dialog appears.

  1. Enter the following information:
  • Select Block — select the action from the list.
  • Block Name — enter a unique name.
  1. Click Next.
  2. To specify values for the remaining fields, refer to the on-screen instructions and Designer Help.
  3. Click Save.
