Simple Recognition Customizer Window—Input Tab

The following table describes the properties of the Input tab of the Simple Recognition customizer window:

Properties / Buttons

Description

Timeout

Variable or expression indicating the amount of time in seconds that the system waits for input from the caller.

Maximum Retries

Variable indicating the number of times a new entry can be entered after a timeout or invalid key.

After the maximum number of retries is reached, the step continues on the Timeout or Unsuccessful output branch, depending on whether the last try timed out or an invalid key was entered. On retry due to an invalid key, a system prompt plays if none is specified.

A “0” value means that no retry is allowed; in this case, the script must handle the retry scenario.

Flush Input Buffer

Radio button.

Yes—The system erases previously entered input before capturing caller input.

No—The system does not erase previously entered input before capturing caller input.
