Dial Plan Schema Group
----------------------

Use this procedure to bundle a set of schemas to form a custom dial plan.
You can clone one of default Type 1 to Type 4 schema groups to use as a starting
point to create your own dial plan schema group.


1. Log in to VOSS Automate as the Administrator,
   Provider, or Reseller.                
2. Select **Dial Plan Management > Advanced Configuration > Dial Plan Schema Group**. 
3. From the list of dial plan schema groups, choose the one to be cloned, by
   clicking on its box in the leftmost  column.                                                  

.. note::

   There may be duplicate dial plan schema groups in the list because some of the
   dial plan schema groups may have been auto-cloned to the Provider hierarchy node.
   For more information, see Auto-Cloning of Dial Plan Schemas and Schema Groups
   to the Provider Hierarchy Node.           

4. From the **General** tab, enter a new unique name for the cloned dial plan
   schema group in the Dial Plan Schema Group Name field.                                        
5. If desired, add a description of the new cloned dial plan schema group in the
   Description field.              
6. Modify or add site defaults, core schemas, feature schemas, country schemas,
   or custom workflows as required by clicking on the appropriate tab as follows:  

   a. From the **Site Defaults** tab, modify site defaults. For more information
      on site defaults, refer to Modify Site Defaults.                                

      .. note::

         If a site defaults doc (SDD) for a site is based on ``CUSTOMER_TEMPLATE``,
         then any empty values set under this tab will *not* result in empty
         values being set in the site dial plan. Values that are set on the
         **General** tab in the ``CUSTOMER_TEMPLATE``  will be applied instead.

   b. From the **Core Schemas** tab, modify the fields. Select a trigger event
      from the Dial Plan Schema Usage drop-down menu, then select the hierarchical
      level for the core schema in the Dial Plan Schema Scope drop-down menu.
      For a description of the trigger events, refer to Default Dial Plan Event
      Triggers. From the Dial Plan Schema Name drop-down menu, select the schema
      that will be triggered by the event. This drop-down list includes all default
      and created schemas from the Create Schemas procedure.           
   c. From the **Feature Schemas** tab, modify the fields. Select a trigger event
      from the Dial Plan Schema Usage drop-down menu, then select the hierarchical    
      level for the feature schema in the Dial Plan Schema Scope drop-down menu.
      For a description of the trigger events, refer to Default Dial Plan Event     
      Triggers. From the Dial Plan Schema Name drop-down menu, select the feature
      schema that will be triggered by the event. This drop-down list includes  
      all default and created feature schemas from the Create Schemas procedure.                            
   d. From the **Country Schemas** tab, modify the fields as required. For
      desired country schemas, select a trigger event from the Dial Plan Schema
      Usage drop-down menu, then select the country dial plan from the Country Name
      drop-down menu. Select the hierarchical level for the country schema in the     
      Dial Plan Schema Scope drop-down menu. For a description of the trigger events,
      refer to Default Dial Plan Event Triggers. From the Dial Plan Schema Name
      drop-down menu, select the country-specific schema that will be triggered
      by the event. This drop-down list includes all default and created schemas
      from the Create Schemas procedure.           
   e. From the **Custom Workflows** tab, modify event workflows. From the Dial Plan
      Event drop-down menu, select an event trigger for your workflow. Contact   
      Advanced Services if you require an event trigger that is not in the list.
      For a description of the trigger events, refer to Default Dial Plan Event     
      Triggers. From the Workflow drop-down menu, select the custom workflow to
      execute when the dial plan event is triggered.                                  
7. Click **Save**. The new dial plan schema group appears in the list of groups.
