DID Inventory

Section overview​

This section allows creating the DID numbers, which later may be assigned to one of the packages and finally provided to a customer under the Package terms. The section consists of two tabs:

  • DID inventory
  • Operators

DID Inventory tab​

The tab contains a list of all existing DID(s) and is presented in the form of a table with the following columns:

Creating a DID number​

The whole process of creating a DID number can be described in a few steps:

  1. Go to the Retail → DID inventory → Operators tab. Create one or more operators (DID providers).
  2. Open the DID inventory tab, add one or more DID numbers. Make sure that these DIDs have the "in stock" status. You can also use the Import DIDs button.
FieldDescription
DID(s)Indicate one or multiple DID numbers
OperatorSpecify a target DID provider
StatusChoose one of the statuses a DID can acquire: "reserved", "in stock", or "archive"
After holdDefine what status a DID is going to acquire after being in hold status. The Hold status is acquired after Package, this DID is assigned to, is deactivated
TagSpecify an additional tag for better division of DIDs in certain groups. Useful when clients have multiple DIDs
NotesDefine additional info regarding DIDs
tip

Also, you can set the range of DID numbers in the DID(s) field.

Specify the range using the upper and lower numbers and the dash "-" to separate them. For example, "111-222". Therefore, the system will create a range of DIDs from "111" to "222" (included).

  1. Go to the Retail → Packages section. Create a package, where a number of allowed DID's to be picked from will be specified.
  2. Assign a respective Package to a target customer in the Subscriptions section.
  3. Open the DIDs tab in the target client settings. Here, pick one or more DID numbers to assign.

For more details, look through the How to configure DIDs scheme article in our Knowledge Base. This will effectively assign a DID number to one of the customer's accounts. Please note, this functionality is very switch-dependent, and additional development or testing may be required. Please contact JeraSoft Support team for help, if you have any doubts or questions.

tip

We recommend using tags to make navigation between a great deal of DIDs easier and more effective.

Mass edit of DIDs​

You easily can change the status of multiple selected DIDs, specify tags and a number of hold days using the Mass Edit button. To do so, you need to select DIDs (for which the status must be changed), then click the Mass Edit button and in a pop-up window specify the status from the drop-down list in a respective Set status to field, then, click the Update button to confirm the change. Also, using the Mass Edit button, you can add a tag and notes. If you click the Delete button, only selected DIDs will be deleted.
