    • Date range: The sets the date period used to include calls and can be a fixed range or dynamic range. This is in addition to any other filter. This can be used to update workflows in semi real-time, for example updating every 10 minutes for the last 10 minutes of calls.

    • Behavior: Workflows can be configured to behave in two different ways when populating with items.
      • Selecting the Add behavior will add recordings in a fixed amount or a percentage, for example add 20 records or 5 per cent of matching recordings. This keeps adding new recordings in addition to any that are there already, up to the maximum of 500.
      • Selecting the Fill behavior option will clear the existing workflow and repopulate it with the number of matching recordings set in the Items option.
    • Items to add: This sets the number of new Tasks to add to this workflow.
