A notepad code can also be applied to the action where you can right click in the "Notepad Code(?)" box and select a relevant notepad code from the browse.  Most note pad codes will pre fill a pre-defined message into the "Note" area.

You can also place a specific call result code on the action as to the outcome of a call.  By right clicking in the "Call Result Code" box you may select a relevant code from the browse.  Using the radio buttons below you can define the direction of the call if it was inbound or outbound.

Accounts can be removed from the pools until a specified date.  To set this uncheck the "Remain in Pool" box and right click in the "Remove(?)" box to select a date for the account to be removed until.

If you have selected a notepad code the "Note" box may already be populated with text.  You can add text to this if you wish or create a new message.
