To define the layout for the 40-character display. You can assign the starting position and the length of the data items by typing an optional label for each field followed by the appropriate number of data field characters, such as $. Each $ represents one character in the display. For example, for data of five characters, type $$$$$. Some data types have preset field length limits based on the Communication Manager administration. For example, the system takes the acceptable-service-level data type from the Acceptable Service Level (sec) field on the Vector Directory Number screen. As you can type a maximum of four characters in this field, do not create a VuStats Display field that consists of more than four characters for the acceptable-service-level data type. Other data types have similar limits. Field lengths for data items that appear as time must match the field option in the Format field. Account for possible colons when the display is in a time format. Format descriptions can be all text such as a message for the day. The format description can also be all data fields, but the users must memorize the labels or use customer-provided overlays. If the numeric data for a field is too large for the number of data field characters, the VuStats display shows asterisks instead of data. If the name database items are too large for the number of data field characters, the VuStats display truncates data to fit the field limit. The split or skill objective, as entered on the Hunt Group screen, appear as asterisks if the information exceeds the data field limit. |
