This is the end of a path - started with 0.5.0 - that was meant to improve the usability of WombatDialer. This could not have been possible without the help of all beta testers who contribuited their feedback - the amount of feedback we had on WombatDialer really exceeded our expectations, so thank you!
The main changes since 0.5.0 are:
- WD has a way to “hide” campaigns and lists that are no longer in use
- Many changes and new graphs on the Live page, including statistics of running campaigns
- Editing of call attributes
- Export of call sets
- Creation of new lists from campaign outcomes (from the Reports tab)
- 50+ errors and fixes in the GUI
If you tried WombatDialer before you will notice its interaction is noticeably better. And we do have a User Manual now - though it’s still a work in progress, it should document well the general principles and the full APIs, and explains the rationale behind WombatDialer.
We also added the option to install WombatDialer manually in a web container, so you do not have to use the RPM packages if you don’t need to.
One last note: a number of people are working on implementing queue call-back scenarios with WombatDialer. This seems to be something that many call-centers need, and it’s something WombatDialer is very well suited to. We are working on a general tutorial and we plan to release it on the blog in a few days.
