4 How the Input Is Processed
Comparing Input to the Dial Plan Patterns
The input is compared to each dial plan in turn, starting with the first listed account. Keep in mind that the input
being compared is different depending on whether the input is dragged/selected or typed:
• If the input is dragged or selected, then the entire input is compared to each dial plan.
• If you are typing the input, then the digits are compared one by one as they are entered. Each time a new
digit is entered, the comparison starts over at the first account.
Results of the Comparison
Bria finds a match according to the following rules.
The “prefered account” is identified in the Account List. It can be set through provisioning
(feature:accounts:defaultForCall setting) and can be changed by the user.
replace Replaces the input with the specified string before placing the call.
