Is there a way of having Acendis automatically delete (or not record) a blocked call from the list of callers after it has annouced that it is a blocked call?
Thanks!
Blocked callers
Re: Deleting blocked callers
Hi Pauley,
You can delete a call from the calls list with an advanced script:
To get the above script into Ascendis Caller ID, do the following:
1) Copy the above code section to the clipboard
2) In Ascendis Caller ID, click the "Categories" tab
3) Create a new category (right-click in the Categories grid, and select "New Category")
4) Name the category something meaningful, like "Block" (type the name into the "Category Name" box)
5) Set the "Action" to "Advanced"
6) Right-click in the script box and select "Paste"
7) Click OK to close the category window and save the changes
Now you need to change the desired callers to use the new category:
1) Click the "Callers" tab to show the callers
2) Right-click on the desired caller, and select "Edit Caller"
3) Change the "Category" to the new category you created above
4) Make sure the "Action" is set to "Category"
5) Click OK to close the window and save the changes
Of course, you can change the script to meet your needs -- for example, the "Speak" command can easily be changed to say whatever you prefer.
The "DeleteCall" command is not in the current help file, although the feature has been supported since version 1.6.5.29. It will be in the help file in the next beta release.
If this is not clear, just let me know what needs clarification.

Yes, if I understand you correctly. You can delete a blocked call from the list of calls, not callers. You cannot delete callers from an action.Pauley wrote:Is there a way of having Acendis automatically delete (or not record) a blocked call from the list of callers after it has annouced that it is a blocked call?
