Dialer
The Dialer allows Call Manager users to easily schedule phone calls to be
placed later. For example, when a sales representative arrives in the morning
he may know he needs to make calls to 15 of his customers, so from MS
Outlook he can drag/drop the contact information of all 15 of the customers
into his Dialer. When the designated time arrives for each call to be placed the
user will be presented with a pop-up screen alerting him it’s time to place the
call. Once the call is finished, the user will be presented with another pop-up
screen requesting information about whether the call was successful and if
not whether it should called again later (for example if the party was busy).
The Dialer tab displays all calls yet to be placed as well as calls that have
recently been completed, plus as the status of the dialers and the phone. This
information is shown on the main screen similar to the following:

the power dialer until you’re ready to start making calls again.
