Configuring Record activities with prompts

By default, the Record activity is automatically assigned an instruction prompt. This prompt can be changed to another prompt, but the Record activity must have an instruction prompt assigned to it. Optionally, a confirmation prompt can be assigned to the Record activity to inform callers that their recording is complete. If no confirmation prompt is assigned to a Record activity, users are directed to the Save branch.

  1. Select the Record activity and click Properties.
  2. To configure recording instructions for authorized callers, after Instructions, click the drop-down list and select from the following:
    • Add a new prompt
