## Configure Layout
You can define, which fields should be displayed on the CTI Data Connector SoftPhone. This definition can be done with different settings for internal, inbound and outbound calls. You can not only display the name of the caller but also information like VIP status, turnover, service level agreement, language or other information.
Select: *Setup > AppSetup > Customize > Call Center >**** SoftPhone Layouts***
**Display call related field**
You can display for **inbound, outbound and internal calls **different fields and objects.
•Caller ID and Called ID is always supported.
•Queue only for some phone systems
•Segment is not supported
**

Define **where to search**. The search will be done in all phone number fields of the defined objects including **[custom objects](https://helpserver.biz/onlinehelp/cdc/sf/5.0/help2000/custom-objects.html)**. It also defines the **sort order** in case multiple records have the same phone number (search result list).
**Select fields for CTI Data Connector SoftPhone**
Select the fields which should appear on the CTI Data Connector SoftPhone. You can do the configuration for** in- and outbound calls separately**. Never remove the first field (name).

**Show incoming calls**
Incoming calls can be shown in a new browser window or tab or open in the existing Browser window.
:::hint{type="info"}
•Open in existing Browser window is much faster but if you e.g. are writing an e-mail it is gone. Set: *Single-matching record* to *Don't pop any screen*. With this configuration the caller will first shown in the CTI Data Connector SoftPhone and then you can click on the name to open the caller details once you are ready
•You have to enable Pop-Ups in your Browser
:::
**No matching records**
In case the phone number is not found this action is processed. The default is that nothing happens (just call is signaled with the phone number). It is possible to create e.g. new Lead, Contact or Case. The phone number is automatically inserted in the new record (only for Lead, Account or Contact).
**Phone number stored multiple times (duplicate records)**
You should configure: Multiple-matching records: **Pop to search Page**. If the same Caller ID is stored in multiple Accounts or contacts you get a list of all records.

### Cases
If you want to work with cases and assign a call to a case, you have to add the **Case** object for **incoming** and **outgoing** calls in the SoftPhone Layout.
*Configure Cases - Step 1*
Click on: *Add / Remove Objects* and select the **Case** object. Then ensure that the** Case Number** is displayed in the CTI Data Connector SoftPhone.
*Configure Cases - Step 2*
### Person Account
If you are working with the Person Account setup, you have to add **Accounts and Contact** in the SoftPhone-Layout for **inbound and outbound** calls so that data from Person Account is included in the phone number search.
The object person account is not required.
*Configure Person Accounts *
### Internal Calls
To configure internal calls, you have to define the *length of internal phone numbers* in the configuration wizard
Within the SoftPhone Layout, select the call type:** Internal**
The next step is to assign the object, which should be used for the search. Select: **User**
The search within users will work for the fields *Phone* and *Extension*, but not for the field Mobile. Although it is possible to search in contacts, the search will provide wrong results - e.g. extension 212 calls and this would find an address with the phone number **212**.827.1991
The calls are saved as an activity with the call type: *Internal Call*
*Configure internal calls*
**Visualforce Pages and Flow**
How to use Visualforce pages and flows see [Inbound call - API](docId\:fnBIESHSojm4JU41rij-D)
