You can see all numbers in one view, in boxes, showing the number itself, country, status of the number, type and the team that has the number assigned too.

Also note that each numbers has a coloured dot indicating the number status, with the three small dots to explore the actions related to this number status.

• RED dot: This number is considered as High Risk Number, related actions are explained below.
• GREEN dot: This number is active and ready to be used.

Filters
