List ID Override
A campaign setting that moves a lead into a different list after it's dialed, based on the disposition the agent selects.
List ID Override is a VICIdial setting that moves a lead into a different list once it's been dialed, based on how the call ended. When an agent picks a disposition like "callback" or "sale," the override can shift that lead out of the working list and into a separate list set aside for that outcome. The agent doesn't have to do anything extra — choosing the disposition is what triggers the move.
This is mostly about keeping your data organized while a campaign runs. Without an override, every lead stays in the list it started in, and you end up sorting sales, dead numbers, callbacks, and fresh leads by their status every time you want to act on a group. With it, leads sort themselves into the right bucket automatically as agents work through them, so the list you reach for later is already clean.
A simple example
Say you're dialing list 1001. An agent makes a sale and dispositions the call. With an override mapped to that disposition, VICIdial moves the lead to list 2001, your sales list. Now your fulfillment or onboarding team can work list 2001 without ever touching the leads still being actively dialed in 1001. You can set a different target list for each disposition you care about — callbacks to one list, sales to another, leads that asked to be removed to a third — all configured inside the campaign settings.
Pair this with your filter and dnc rules and you keep finished leads from getting re-dialed by accident. A lead that's been moved to a sales list or a do-not-call list won't be eligible to reload into the hopper for the active campaign, so an agent won't call back someone who already bought, and you won't ring a number that asked to be left alone. That combination — overrides plus filters — is how a well-run floor keeps a single lead from being called twice for the wrong reason.

DNC (do not call)
DNC (do not call) is a list of numbers VICIdial must never dial — people who opted out or are legally off-limits — checked before every outbound call.
Filter
A filter is a rule that controls which leads in a campaign get dialed — letting you target or exclude records by state, status, time zone, or any field.
Hopper
A staging table where VICIdial pre-loads the next batch of leads to dial, so the dialer always has fresh numbers ready to go.
