Call List Scrubber is designed to automatically notify you if any of your area codes are 31 days or older. However, you can tell Call List Scrubber to notify you well before the 31 day mark so you can make sure that each time you scrub a list you are in compliance. Each area code is tracked independently which allows you to download area codes whenever you want without worrying about when you need to download again. To set up Call List Scrubber to alert you sooner than the 31 limit, click on 'System Information' from the main menu of Call List Scrubber.

The System Information screen is where you can store important information relating to your FTC subscription as well as setting any defaults the system needs to operate correctly. You can also get up-to-the-minute statistics on your National Do Not Call lists that you have imported. Listed by Area Code, you can view the last date each area code was updated, how many phone numbers are in that area code list and the deadline date for updating that area code again to remain in compliance. You can also print a report of NDNC Statistics:

The DNC Download Alert Days is one of the more critical defaults that you can set. This can be set to any number between 1 and 31. This value tells Call List Scrubber when to start alerting you that an area code is in danger of being out of compliance. If you set the number high then Call List Scrubber will start alerting you very soon after a download that another download is due. If you set the number low, then Call List Scrubber will wait until much closer to the 90 day deadline before it begins to alert you to download new files. 

Whenever Call List Scrubber starts, it checks all of the area codes you have imported from the National Do Not Call Registry and compares the last update date against the 31 day limit and then determines how many days today's date is away from the update deadline. If this number is equal or less than the number you entered for the DNC Download Alert Days, Call List Scrubber displays a message and gives you an opportunity to print a report listing all of the area codes that are due to be updated. 

The System Information screen is also the location of a very powerful feature of Call List Scrubber: No-Sell Zones. As telemarketers refine their lists it becomes obvious that some area codes produce better results than others. A marketer may choose not to waste resources in area codes that are non-productive. The 'Select No-Sell Zones' button provides access to the following screen:

All of the area codes that you have currently loaded into the National DNC list are presented here with a checkbox to select as a No-Sell Zone. When an area code is selected, any phone number scrubbed in a call list with a matching area code will be removed from the Valid output.
