Delayed Dial Time (HH:MM) lets you specify a time when PC Access should automatically dial this Phone Book Setup entry. (You cannot specify a Delayed Dial Time on the MLS Setup window.) Express the time in 24-hour format, for example: you would enter 19:30 for 7:30 PM.
You must specify a Login Script File for any phone book entry with a Delayed Dial Time. The best way to create a suitable script file is by recording one with Record for Auto-Logon enabled.
To start a countdown timer for your Delayed Dial entry, exit back to the Main Menu window, click the Phone Book button, select the phone book entry with the Delayed Dial Time, and click the Later button. Then you must leave the Phone Book Select window open with the countdown timer running until the Delayed Dial Time arrives. Nobody else, including you, can do anything else with PC Access in the meantime, unless they or you cancel the countdown timer.
PC Access can only count down to one Delayed Dial at a time, so this will be most useful in the Agent version of PC Access. If you are sharing a Broker version of PC Access in an office, Delayed Dial may be impractical for you. Other users would need to cancel your Delayed Dial if they needed to use PC Access after you left the countdown timer running.
Delayed dial is useful for a phone book entry that runs a complex script for automating some task on your MLS. This allows you to create a Phone Book entry that allows PC Access to call your MLS when you're not there. If, for example, you usually start your day by logging into your MLS and printing new Hot Sheets, you might want to set up PC Access to do this for you before you get to work. You could tell PC Access to do this at 7:00 AM. When you get to your computer at 8:00 AM, your printed report will be waiting for you. You get up-to-the-minute information without having to wait for the report!
