Description |
---|---|
Input Length |
Variable or expression indicating the maximum number of digits or characters. When this limit is reached, the script uses input already entered. |
Initial Timeout (sec) |
Variable or expression indicating the amount of time the system will wait for initial input from the caller. |
Interdigit Timeout (sec) |
Variable or expression indicating the amount of time that the system will wait for the caller to enter the next digit, after receiving initial input from the caller. |
Maximum Retries |
Variable or expression indicating the number of times the entry can be started over after a timeout or an invalid key. A “0” value means that no retry is allowed; in this case, the script must handle the retry scenario. |
Flush Input Buffer |
A Boolean variable—or an expression resolving to a Boolean variable—indicating whether the system should flush the input buffer. True—The system erases previously entered input before capturing caller input. False—The system does not erase previously entered input before capturing caller input. |
Clear Input Buffer on Retry |
A Boolean variable—or an expression resolving to a Boolean variable—indicating whether the system should clear the DTMF buffer. True—The script clears the DTMF buffer before each retry. False—The script does not clear the DTMF buffer before each retry. |
