Sample Script

Using a sample Script we will create a Customer Survey on data layout 3 to review addresses and phone numbers. This sample is very basic. You could add several pages detailing customer satisfaction questions as well. Your Script can be as extensive and as long as you wish or need. Taking each section of this screen individually we will continue to create pages until the Script is ready to for use.

For our sample we will want to see the following fields displayed at the top of the screen when the Script is in use:

Page AA, Fields to display on top of screen: COM AD1 AD2 CIT STA ZIP TL1 F4 for Fields

Our Script will display the Company name, address lines 1 & 2, City, State, Zip code and the telephone number in field TL1 which is associated with the general telephone number. You should always examine the data in your fields to ensure that you are asking for a display of meaningful fields. Your use of the fields maybe different from general use.

The Script Maintenance screen will now look like this:

Script Maintenance

Script Name: Sample (example only)

Page Number AA

Description: Sample Script for Customer Survey, Address, Phone Number review.

 

Fields to display on top of screen: COM AD1 AD2 CIT STA ZIP TL1 F4 for Fields

 

On our first Page AA, we will type instructions to the user of the Script. These instructions will appear in the middle portion on the Script Maintenance screen. Once typed the instructions the Script Maintenance screen will now look like this:

Script Maintenance

Script Name: Sample (example only)

Page Number AA

Description: Sample Script for Customer Survey, Address, Phone Number review.

 

Fields to display on top of screen: COM AD1 AD2 CIT STA ZIP TL1 F4 for Fields

  We need to contact each customer to verify the current address and phone #.

  The display at the top of the screen will give you most of this information.

  You will need to verify the current information with the customer.

  Once you have dialed the phone number, identify yourself and explain that you

  need to verify address & phone information in order for customer service to

  be able to help them. PRESS F

 

This text that we are typing does NOT wrap around, you will need to work with your sentences in the Script Maintenance screen to make sure that when viewed by the user, the lines are easy to read. Now that we have typed some instructions on the AA page we want to have the user move to the next page. To do this you will need to key a value (we chose F) in the Opt column with an associated new page. BB will be our next page number, key BB in the Pg column on the same line at the Opt F.

Enter the options, value/field to update and page to branch:

F3=Exit F4=Prompt F12=Cancel F15=Long Fields

When you are finished with this 1st page, Press Enter to save it to the Work with Script screen and to prompt for the next Add next page prompt.

We need a 2nd page of instructions, a Page BB.

Add next page BB

 

F3=Exit

F12=Cancel

Press Enter, and the Script Maintenance screen appears. We will continue to type instructions to the user of the Script so that they will know what is required of them in using the Script. Now that we have typed the balance of the instructions that started on Page AA we want to have the user move to the next page. To do this you will need to key F in the Opt column with CC in the Pg column on the same line at the Opt F.

Press Enter, and the Script Maintenance screen appears. We will now type the Script prompts for the user. We want them to identify themselves and to explain briefly why they are calling. The fields that have been chosen to display at the top of the Screen include the complete address of the customer. To be effective with the Script we must guide the user through the project allowing for responses from the customer to various questions asked in the process. In this page we want to verify the address we have. Is it correct? A Yes response requires a different page in the Script than a No response.

If the answer is Yes the Script should move forward to a Page that asks if the phone numbers are correct, so we will want the user to Press Y for Yes to make that happen. If the answer is NO, we will want to update the fields in the database that contain the Street, City, State, and Zip Code. Having the user Press N will take them to a different "new" page that will allow for the entry of these fields. Key Y in the Opt column, Yes in the Value column and DD in the Pg column. Also Key N in the next space in the Opt column, No in the Value column and EE in the Pg column.

Press Enter, and the Script Maintenance screen appears. We want the users to thank the customer for their help in updating the address and to now review the telephone numbers. Using a period . plus and ampere sign and the field ID of TL1 (for telephone field #1), like this .&TL1 you will be able to display the data in that field on that contact record in the Script. We have imbedded that code and field ID to do just that and display the current phone number in the Script. In this page we want to verify that the telephone number we have. Is it correct? A Yes response requires a different page in the Script than a No response.

If the answer is Yes the Script should move forward to a Page that asks if the fax telephone number is correct, so we want the user to Press Y for Yes to make that happen. Key Y in the Opt column, Yes in the Value column and GG in the Pg column. If the answer is NO, we will want to update the telephone field with the correct number. Having the user Press = (the equal sign) will allow them to type the correct telephone number, in the Script, and have it update the field on the database at the same time. After typing the new phone number they will need to Press Enter to move to Pg GG to review the fax telephone number. Key GG in the Pg column next to the FLD (field ID) of TL1. We will build they Page later in the Script.

AD1 is the first line of the address and AD2 is the 2nd line of the address and is often used for Suite numbers.
