This function makes use of the Server script API function PBXScript.PreviousScripts to check if the call has been transferred by the given user (defined by his name) and PBXScript.OutputTrace to write trace information into the SwyxServer trace file.
Please note: this function makes use of newly introduced functionalitly in SwyxWare v13.27 within the PBXScript.PreviousScripts collection. It is therefore able to check for users and groups the call have been before reaching the current script.
There is a previous version of this function available, IsRedirectedFromByName, which can check for users only.
A usage example of this function could be the following:
Boss redirects all his calls to his secretary. The secretary redirects all her calls to the operator because she has to leave the office. So, when calling the boss directly one would end up at the operator.
For the operator it would be useful to know if this is such a "boss" call. So, all you have to do is to call this function with the name of the boss user and afterwards e.g. manipulate the text being shown in the SwyxIt! display.
If IsRedirectedFromByNameEx("Mr. Boss") Then
PBXCall.CallingPartyName = "BOSS - " & PBXCall.CallingPartyName
End If
Another usage of this function can be found in the function IsRedirectedFromByNumber.
