. The Call description dialog opens and displays the available call data keys and values.

Copy the External Data Key required from the list, in this example, GROUP_ID. The Call description window is in a separate pop up, so it can be kept open for the following step.
Return to the top of the main window, navigate to Recording rules and select the group to which the rule applies, from the groups on the left hand side, in this example, Group A.
- Select External Data in the Rule type: drop-down list.
- In the Mask: field:
- Paste the key into the mask then type a blank space after the key, to separate the Key and Value.
- Go back to the Call details pop up and copy the External Data Value, then paste it after the blank space in the Mask: field, or type a value (wild cards are valid). Genesys Quality Management Suite supports alphanumeric characters for extensions, DNs or terminals.
- Click Insert new rule.
- Click Apply changes.
The new recording rule using external data is now active in Call Recording.
To test the rule, make a call from a group that should contain the data, and check the Recorded calls tab for the recorded call.
Please note if there are two recording rules using external data in one group and the first external data does not exist, the second one will not be evaluated. It get evaluated in the moment when the first external data exists and does not match.
