Work in the Edit Audio Sequence dialog box
In the Edit Audio Sequence dialog box, you can build simple sequences in the Sequence Builder mode, or you can access the Custom Expression mode to create more complex sequences using expressions. The Edit Audio Sequence dialog box heading indicates whether you are currently editing a menu prompt, the initial greeting, or an action’s associated audio element.
When you build an audio sequence in the Sequence Builder, choose each item to add to the sequence, and then select the wanted settings to apply to each item. For example, if you choose to add data playback, an Options drop-down list appears, with choices that apply specifically to the data type. The audio sequence that you build here is an audio expression.

This feature is helpful if you want to see the expression Architect generates from what you configure on the sequence builder.
In the Edit Audio Sequence dialog box, you can use the custom expression builder to create expressions for prompt and audio scenarios. In addition, you can access the Function and Operator help, which includes a comprehensive list of audio elements to include in your expression. Here, you can view detailed descriptions, examples, and sample output. Copy and paste an audio example into the audio sequence design form and modify it for your expression.
