Abstract
In a telecommunication network, a method of creating, in response to inputs from an operator of a record creation system, a general service specification for a call processing record. The call processing record includes logically related nodes and branches. In the method, a processor in the record creation system prompts the operator to identify at least one optional node, at least one required node, and at least one restricted node from a node set presented to the operator. Optional nodes are nodes which may appear in a call processing record associated with the general service specification; required nodes must appear in the call processing record associated with the general service specification; and restricted nodes cannot appear in the call processing record associated with the general service specification. After prompting the operator for the selected nodes, the processor receives the operator's selections and enables the optional, required, and restricted nodes as a general service specification from which processing records can then be created.
