Dial Number Filtering

[cpaguio]

We are currently using the 'dial' button in the agent's page to do outbound calls. Is there a way to filter/limit user's inputs in the "Extension to dial" text box? We were thinking of editing the extensions_queuemetrics.conf file to include control flow logic, but we were not sure if there are other better alternatives as well.

Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

No - the idea was that you would do it at the Asterisk level (where it is very easy to do it).

We are using Asterisk 1.6 with FreePBX and extensions are not registered to it, but routed through a trunk. Just for additional information.

Does this mean it is better for us to use the "Outbound Routes" rules in FreePBX to filter the numbers?

Yes, as it best suits you.
