There are two methods to import calling list records
1. Import function in Outbound Contact Manager (OCM)
2. OCS SDK (separate license and programming effect are required!)
OCM accepts ASCII text file as import calling list records, one record per line. Many mandatory data fields can be omitted; thus, default values will be automatically inserted by OCM.
Below is a list of system fields for Genesys 7.2 OCS
Please verify them with the version you're using.

In general, a site-specific conversation program will be programmed to retrieve customer record fields and to generate *.lst file.
