Updating a percentage-allocation routing plan

In Control Center, you can change the percent of calls that are being routed to different locations for a Lumen® Toll Free Service. For example, if you currently route inbound traffic to call centers in Colorado, Arizona, and Virginia, you can change the routing to split the volume between only Colorado and Arizona.

To update an existing percentage-allocation routing plan:

  1. Click Services.

    Control Center shows the Services console. Use the console to access an inventory of your services, check the status of orders, and manage your services.

    Control Center shows all Toll Free services on the enterprise ID.
  1. Search for the service you want to work with. When you find the service you want to work with, click the hyperlinked service ID or click the icon (in the Actions column), then click View Details.

    Control Center shows details for the toll-free service you selected.
