Prompt, Say-as, and Value Elements
Use
The prompt element enables building audio messages that include numerical information, such as cardinal and ordinal numbers, dates, and times. Numeric information format is defined with the say-as element, and the numeric value is defined with the value element. Typically prompt is placed in a block element with the proceeding audio element.
-
If you use say-as element in a custom language (added in SP06 Patch 1), you must configure IVRTalk and add required audio files. For more information, see SAP Note 1934816.
-
Only the numbers less than 1000 000 000 are supported.
The prompt element can be nested in the following parent elements: error, timeout, block, field, filled, if, menu, record, transfer .
The prompt element can have the following child elements: say-as.
The say-as element can be nested only in prompt elements, and its only child is the value element that fetches the value for the number or date to be spelled.
The value element can be nested only in say-as elements, and it cannot have child elements.
Attributes of prompt Element |
Description |
---|---|
Condition |
You can make the condition that defines if the prompt is played at all. Element is played if the condition is empty (the default value) or the condition results as false. Note:
Make sure you define the condition on right level: prompt condition affects only to the say-as part, and not, for example, the proceeding audio element. To define a condition statement that affects the entire sequence, use the block element’s condition. |
