Indicates that the campaign is inactive or complete. When a campaign restarts, dialing resumes at the next contact. A green check mark in the Dialing Progress column indicates a completed campaign.

Force Stop

After you manually pause a campaign (turn it off), use the Force Stop option to clear all outstanding interactions preventing the campaign from turning off. The Force Stop button appears on the Campaign Diagnostics dialog box when a campaign is paused and an interaction is outstanding. Genesys strongly recommends that you use this feature with extreme caution.

The Force Stop option has the following implications:

  • Calls that did not complete are logged with the wrap-up code ININ-OUTBOUND-CAMPAIGN-FORCED-OFF, regardless of the outcome of the call. Reports will display the wrap-ups that occur after the Force Stop, but a contact list export will show that new wrap-up code for Force Stop.
  • All wrap-up rules are ignored for all outstanding calls.
  • All wrap-up mapping actions are ignored for all outstanding calls.

Before using the Force Stop option, go to the campaign dashboard to manually transfer or wrap up the outstanding interactions.

Indicates that the campaign configuration is invalid. Campaigns are invalid if the script service, a queue or other resource is no longer available, or the contact list has an error, for example. This indicator replaces the slider switch since you cannot stop or start an invalid campaign.
Health Current state

Provides health insights for running Voice campaigns. 

Health states for a voice campaign

Following are the color indications:

Green – Campaign is running as expected.

Grey – Campaign is not running, so health information is unavailable. 

Red – Campaign is in Waiting mode due to one or more of the external resources: Waiting for Agents, Waiting for Contacts, or Waiting for Outbound Lines. 

Orange – Configuration or Operational Alert.

Red and Orange – Campaign is in Waiting mode and one or more Configuration or Operational Alerts are active. 

Hovering over a health state displays specific information about the health condition. Click the campaign diagnostics button to view details about the health of the running campaign. 

Health indicator Description
Running normally Campaign is actively dialing outbound calls or handling preview interactions.
Waiting for Contacts Campaign is configured as Always Running and the associated Contact List is either empty or has no unprocessed records. 
Waiting for Agents Campaign dialing pace is restricted by the number of agents who are available to take calls for the campaign.
Waiting for Outbound Lines Campaign dialing pace is restricted by the number of available outbound lines.
Configuration Alert Configuration of the campaign might be affecting its dialing pace.
Operational Alert Operational environment of the campaign might be affecting its dialing pace. 
Info Campaign is not following best configuration or operational practices.

Progress Percentage of contacts dialed For each running incomplete campaign, a graph depicts the percentage of contacts dialed. The first value is total contacts processed, which includes total contacts dialed and total contacts that are currently in flight to be dialed. The second value is the total number of contacts (not records). The calculation is (current contacts processed / total contacts) x 100.

If you are using a dynamic filtering campaign and there were contacts that were filtered out at the beginning of the campaign that now  match the filter, after filter modification or update of contacts, the total number of contacts changes. Contacts that are in the total number of contacts from the beginning of the campaign and are filtered out after filter modification or update of contact are included in the total contacts processed.

Filtered out contacts are counts of contacts that did not match the filter at any point in the time of running the campaign. The counts do not include In Progress, Dialed, or Scheduled contacts. Currently, we populate this count only for dynamic filtering campaigns. 

Image shows icon users can click to recycle a campaign, causing it to start dialing from the first record

Recycles the campaign, so that dialing starts over starting with the first contact. If you click Recycle for a campaign that is off, the campaign starts at the first record when turned on. If a completed campaign is recycled, the recycle is unnecessary since the campaign starts at the first contact record anyway.
