Following is a quick tour of Evolution Designer's features:

Call Flow Designer displays your application as a simple flow-chart of various "steps" in the application flow. Each of these represents a specific announcement, input, transfer, or decision logic / integration "component" or step in the application. You can add new steps from the left menu, and edit existing steps either by clicking on them in the flow-chart view.
Sample step: Choice The choice "step" allows you to prompt the user to select one of a list of options. You can then branch to other steps in the application based on the response from the user. Responses can include either spoken words or touch-tone phone input. You can also define a set of rules to handle errors, such as re-prompting the user if they say nothing or select an option that is not available.
Errors Evolution Designer automatically keeps track of any design errors or incomplete steps in your application. To view a detailed list of your errors, click the "Errors Report" button.
Prompt Library Designer also keeps track of all of the announcements or audio prompts you create and use in your application. The "Prompt Library" button shows you each audio announcement piece or "audio text" you have used in one convenient location. The audio prompt list can also be downloaded as a spreadsheet. You can use this spreadsheet as a script to get your prompts recorded by professional voice talent such as The Great Voice Company.
Reports Finally, the reports section of Evolution Designer lets you define query-based reports that can be automatically emailed to you at regularly scheduled intervals. These reports can be sent in text, html, XML, or CSV format, and can include information about calls and detailed steps that have been used in your deployed application.
