Filter Groups
15 min
overview filter groups (also called table filter groups ) let you bundle several existing table filters into named, ordered sets so outbound style campaigns can dial leads in priority tiers —for example “high value” leads first, then a broader pool—instead of applying only a single flat filter set the capability is licensable it applies to outbound voice , parallel predictive voice , and voice blast campaigns groups can be built at system level (administrator) and/or campaign level (supervisor), then assigned on the campaign customers tab under the filter group sub tab how it works end to end journey table and filters exist an administrator defines the customer table and individual table filters (conditions on customer fields) under system settings → table → filters (or equivalent in your edition) build filter groups either the administrator creates system filter groups under system settings → table → filter groups , or the supervisor creates campaign filter groups under manage → lead management → manage filter groups on a supported campaign assign groups to the campaign on manage → campaigns → \[campaign] → customers → filter group tab, move the desired groups from available to assigned , then apply system groups appear alongside campaign groups; supervisors cannot delete system created groups optional fetch order inside a group (licensable) on manage filter groups , the supervisor can attach up to five fetch order policies per filter group so that, within each tier, the dialer also orders leads (for example by upload time or attempts) when used here, these policies override fetch order configured at administrator campaign level for that filter group setup (the ui explains this on the information icon) operate and verify use check impact / check dialable numbers (and enabled only vs all where shown) to see filtered and dialable counts after changes after toggling groups on or off, refresh dialable counts as prompted mutual exclusion filters vs filter groups for a given campaign you use either the filter tab or the filter group tab on customers , not both when the filter group license is active, the manage filters path for that flow is typically hidden or unavailable —plan training so supervisors know which mode the tenant uses system vs campaign groups origin created by type label notes system settings → table → filter groups administrator system can be assigned to multiple supported campaigns; only an administrator removes them at source manage filter groups on a campaign supervisor campaign scoped to that campaign; supervisor can enable/disable, reorder, modify, or delete their own groups; cannot delete system groups prerequisites license for filter groups (and, if used, fetch order policy inside filter groups) on the deployment campaign type is outbound voice , parallel predictive voice , or voice blast a table definition is selected where groups are maintained, and individual table filters already exist for that context for assignment the campaign customers → filter group tab is used; prerequisites for that screen are described in customers / lead filtration configuration steps a administrator — create system filter groups open system settings → table → filter groups under select table , pick the table definition whose filters you will group click create new enter a filter group name , choose campaign type (outbound, parallel predictive, or voice blast), then move filters from available filters to assigned filters using the forward arrow; use the backward arrow to remove members the campaign type you pick determines which filters are offered for grouping click save (or cancel to discard) enable or disable the group with the toggle when needed to edit , select the group, click edit , adjust name, description, or members, then save to delete , select the group, click delete , confirm yes deletion is permanent; if the group was assigned to campaigns, lead filtration for those assignments stops working until you reconfigure a deleted filter group cannot be restored if it was in use on campaigns, dialing logic for those assignments breaks until reassigned b supervisor — campaign filter groups and fetch order use manage → campaigns → open an outbound , parallel predictive , or voice blast campaign → lead management → manage filter groups create groups ( create new ), assign filters from available to assigned , set priority with ↑ / ↓ (top group applies first ) system groups appear as system type and cannot be deleted here for fetch order (licensable), use + to add policies (up to five ) typical policy types include customer upload time (ascending / descending) randomized order of lead upload natural order of lead upload (csv row order) number of attempts (ascending / descending) customer information (sort by a chosen customer field, ascending / descending) user disposition retry time (ascending / descending) custom (custom ordering script where your product edition exposes it) the same logical filter group can use different fetch order stacks when reused across campaigns use check impact / check dialable numbers to refresh filtered and dialable counts after toggles;
