Keyword Status
As no two published Txt Services can use the same published keyword on the same shortcode, a keyword that you wish to use for your Txt Service may not always be available.
The management console allows you to reserve keywords prior to publishing so that you can ensure their availability. Once you publish the Txt Service, you can return to the Keyword view to publish the keywords you wish to use.
The following table explains the possible keyword statuses.
Status
|
What it means
|
Available
|
The Keyword has not been published or reserved for this Txt Service, but it is available to do so.
|
Not Available
|
The keyword has not been published or reserved, and is unavailable for this Txt Service. It is likely that another Txt Service already has this keyword published or reserved.
The Touchpoint service desk may be able to offer further assistance by checking when or if this keyword will become available.
|
Published
|
The keyword is active and is available exclusively for this Txt Service.
|
Reserved
|
The keyword is not currently active, but it is reserved for this Txt Service. The keyword can be published once the Txt Service has been published.
|
There are four different actions that you can take to change the status of a keyword:
