You can apply or use the phone reject patterns for standard phone numbers. You can specify the reject patterns at a global or country-specific level. When you import contacts into the POM database, POM validates all the phone numbers of the contact against the reject patterns. If a phone number matches a reject pattern, POM empties the phone number if the feature is enabled during the data import.
The following are the global reject patterns:
*0000000*: A number starting with a digit, followed by 7 zeros, followed by a digit. For example, 34000000045.
*8888888*: A number starting with a digit, followed by 7 eights, followed by a digit. For example, 2388888887.
*9999999*: A number starting with a digit, followed by 7 nines, followed by a digit. For example, 199999992.
For the list of the default reject patterns that are country-specific, see Administering Avaya Proactive Outreach Manager.
You can use the following digits and special characters to specify user-defined patterns:
digits: Use a whole number
*: Use as a wild card character. For example, 999* means a number starting with 999
-: Use to specify a range of numbers. For example, 1–3 means a number from 1 to 3
?: Use to specify a single digit. For example, 9?? means a 3-digit number starting with 9. For another example, ? means a single-digit number
[ ]: Use to specify either one of the numbers in the brackets. For example, [0–1] means a number starting with 0 or 1.
