About Application Dial Rule Setup
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the Call Routing > Dial Rules > Application
Dial Rules menu path to configure application dial rules.
You can use dial rules configuration to add and sort the priority of dialing rules. Dial rules for applications
such as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant automatically strip numbers from or add numbers
to telephone numbers that a user dials. For example, the dial rules automatically add the digit 9 in front of a
7-digit telephone number to provide access to an outside line.
For example, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Assistant, the assistant can perform a directory
search from the assistant console. The assistant can drag and drop the directory entry to the My Calls panel
on the assistant console, which invokes a call to the number that is listed in the entry. The dial rules apply to
the number that is listed in the entry before the call gets made.
Note
If more than one dial rule exists, you can change the priority of the dial rules.
