NP Forms is an optional voice forms feature for NuPoint Voice systems that allows callers to leave messages in a way that simulates written information on paper forms. This feature requires installation of the Miscellaneous Options blade. Applications include:
Order entry
Questionnaires
Routine requests for information
Overflow for busy ACD (Automatic Call Distributor) groups.
Callers accessing an NP Forms application are automatically moved through a series of prerecorded questions. The system waits for the caller to record an answer before moving on to the next question. System users can then log into a single mailbox and listen to the sequence of answers.
A sample NP Forms session for ordering forms might go as follows:
| NP Form: |
You have reached the city government forms service. Please answer the following questions to have forms mailed to you: Please state the name or the type of form. |
| Caller: | I need the application for a small business license. |

| Caller: | Eric Meissner. M-E-I-S-S-N-E-R. |
