|
| 08/14/2005 |
2.27.102 |
Fixed a bug
in the totaling of Invalid Area Codes that caused telephone numbers
with preceding non-numeric characters to report as area code '000'.
(Note: This bug only affected the Scrub Report, not the scrub
process itself.) Fixed field names in header row error that
generated a 'Syntax Error' whenever the field names in the file
contained invalid characters in the field name or digits as the
first character. Added tests to check the compliance and notify days
to encourage users to make sure these system settings are entered
correctly.
|
| 8/14/2005 |
2.27.101 |
Added a
button to 'Step 3 - Verify Selected Phone Number Fields' to allow
users to clear all scrub field selections. Because Call List
Scrubber can sometimes mis-identify fields that resemble telephone
numbers, this new button (Clear All) will clear all automatic
selections and allow users to manually select fields containing
telephone numbers.
|
| 7/25/2005 |
2.27.100 |
Added button
to the 'Step 2 - Select Fields to Export' screen of the Scrub a Call List procedure to

automatically takes the user to the www.dontphoneme.com

imported from State DNC Lists.
|
| 1/31/2004 |
2.27.87 |
Modified the
state list import process to allow users to import multiple files
for each state. Users now can choose to add to existing state
records or to delete state records to completely refresh the data
file.
Added completely new feature per
client requests: No-Sell Zones. From the System Information screen
users can click on the 'Select 'No-Sell' Zones' button which will
open a window with a list of all national area codes currently
stored within the database. A check box is provided next to each
area code and the user can click on any check box to select the area
codes that the user wants to select as a No-Sell Zone. When Call
List Scrubber scrubs a call list any phone number that has an area
code that matches any of the selected No-Sell Zones, that number is
removed from the call list and will not be available for use.
Statistics are provided on the Scrub Report to let the user know how
many phone numbers were excluded from the final list.
|
| 1/29/2004 |
2.27.85 |
Added logic
to allow users to import and scrub against state lists. Colorado,
Missouri, and Mississippi are the initial state formats included in
this version. A "User Defined" state has also been added
per a customer request. As requested this "User Defined"
state will allow users to import a list such as a current customer
list to prevent calls to existing customers. Also added a new
feature to the Maintain Company DNC List screen which allows users
to more easily import existing Company DNC lists into Call List
Scrubber. The new state function includes all features currently
available for the National DNC list such as statistics and
alerts.
|
| 1/22/2004 |
2.27.79 |
Modified Step
4 of the Scrub A Call List Wizard to simplify the Output Settings. Removed the check box
that states "Include only valid phone numbers in the output file". Also removed the check box that states "Do not strip phone numbers from records with errors".
Replaced these checkboxes with a series of three unique "Output Options".
- Valid Only - when selected, the program will only export valid
useable phone numbers.
- Invalid Only - when selected, the program will only export phone numbers considered "bad" along with an error code to indicate the problem. (Note:
Also separated the error codes from the phone numbers so that if a phone number is the only data in the file, the error code will appear in column 1 and the phone number will appear in column 2 per
clients' request).
- All w/Codes - If this option is selected, the output file will include all records (except blank records) along with a column containing an error code if the phone number is considered "bad" by the scrubber.

2.27.77 |
Made some
additional modifications to the "Scrub A Call List"
procedure code to improve the application's ability to handle
non-standard field names in files with the field names in the header
row. Primarily, this version resolves error messages generated by
Call List Scrubber if a header field name is left blank, or if the
user tries to scrub a file that has extraneous data in a column that
does not have a field name assigned to it. Additionally, this
version now correctly identifies phone numbers that are longer than
12 characters. This is usually the case if the phone number includes
formatting characters such as "(" or ")". This
version will also export the scrubbed telephone numbers with the
same formatting that is in the import file.
|
| 1/5/2004 |
2.27.75 |
Rewrote the
import process to handle header rows better and to adjust for
invalid characters commonly used in field names. The new procedures
removes spaces and invalid characters in fieldnames to prevent Call
List Scrubber from generating a "Syntax Error" during the
import process.
|
| 12/12/2003 |
2.27.74 |
Fixed
"Variable not found" error which occurred while updating
the National DNC with the Add/Delete file. Also, added a hyperlink
to website on the Main Menu.
|
| 11/30/2003 |
2.27.73 |
Added the
ability to import and process Add/Delete File from Do Not Call
Registry. The FTC allows subscribers to download a 'delta' or change
file that includes new phone numbers and any phone numbers to delete
for all area codes a subscriber has signed up to download. Call List
Scrubber can now auto-detect the flat file version of the Add/Delete
file and process it accordingly. This procedure can significantly
speed the update process for subscribers of the National Full List.
While the developers still recommend downloading complete lists from
time to time, the Add/Delete file can be used more often and help
keep the National DNC table up to date.
|
| 11/30/2003 |
2.27.72 |
Rewrote the
Import National DNC function to improve performance when importing
the Full National Do Not Call Flat File. Currently this file
contains over 52 million telephone numbers and some customers had
expressed concern over the length of time it took to import this
volume of data. The new version of the program can process the full
list in approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes on a computer with a
700Mhz Celeron and 164Mb of RAM. The new process reduces the import
time by approximately 75%. Also, added new feature to allow users to
choose whether the import process should compress the DNC table to
permanently remove any deleted records.
Added new option to the Scrub Wizard
output screen to instruct Call List Scrubber to NOT strip out the
telephone number on records that are in error. This feature was user
requested.
|
| 11/26/2003 |
2.27.71 |
Fixed problem
caused by non-standard characters found in the header row of
delimited files. Also corrected field sizing bug caused when extra
commas are found within fields of comma delimited files. Improved
speed of transition from Step 2 Field Selection to Step 3 Verify
Phone Number Fields. Fixed bug relating to spaces within output path
names.
|
| 11/22/2003 |
2.27.70 |
Fixed bug
importing National DNC lists stored in folders with paths containing
spaces. Added hyperlink to System Information screen to allow users
to quickly access the DNC Registry Download webpage. Added field to
the Call List Scrubber NDNC Statistics window on the System
Information screen to show the deadline date to update each area
code. Also added deadline date to all alert and statistics reports.
|
| 11/10/2003 |
2.27.63 |
Added a
routine to notify the user when their FTC Subscription is about to
run out.
|
| 11/09/2003 |
2.27.61 |
Added option
to allow users to look up single phone numbers and verify whether
the number is on the National or Company Do Not Call lists.
