# Create and Edit Hunt Lists

Use this page when creating a new hunt list or editing an existing hunt list from **Configuration &gt; Hunt Lists**.

The form screenshots below are separated by block where the application exposes separate sections. Complete the required values, review routing or destination references, and save the record.

## Add and edit form

## Fast dialing

Enable **Use fast dialing** when the hunt list should call the selected destinations directly instead of sending each member through the full extension destination handling. This is useful for straightforward hunt lists where the goal is to ring the listed devices with less intermediate routing logic.

<table id="bkmrk-areabehavior-when-th"><thead><tr><th>Area</th><th>Behavior</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>When the shortcut is active</td><td>MiRTA PBX builds the dial string from the destination devices directly. chan\_sip extensions are dialed as their SIP peer, PJSIP extensions are expanded to their registered contacts, custom extensions are dialed through their outbound target, and virtual extensions are expanded to their member devices.</td></tr><tr><td>Required options</td><td>Fast dialing is used only when **Allow FMFM** and **Allow additional destinations** are both disabled. If either option is enabled, the PBX routes the member through normal extension handling so those features can run.</td></tr><tr><td>Checks that still apply</td><td>The hunt list still honors **Skip if exten is in use**, **Skip if exten is offline**, device state checks, and Do Not Disturb checks where they apply.</td></tr><tr><td>Features bypassed</td><td>Member-level Find Me/Follow Me, additional destinations, and other behavior that depends on entering the full extension destination flow can be skipped because the device or endpoint is dialed directly.</td></tr><tr><td>Request confirm to answer</td><td>For **Ring All** and **Ring All over Loop**, enabling **Request confirm to answer** uses the confirmation path for the hunt list, so fast dialing is not the active route for those ring modes.</td></tr><tr><td>Clustered systems</td><td>If the selected extension is registered on another node, the call is sent through the inter-node SIP trunking path instead of a local endpoint contact.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Saving and deleting

<table id="bkmrk-taskhow-to-do-it-cre"><thead><tr><th>Task</th><th>How to do it</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Create</td><td>Select the new action from the Hunt Lists list, fill the required fields, and select Save.</td></tr><tr><td>Edit</td><td>Open the existing hunt list, update the needed fields, and select Save.</td></tr><tr><td>Delete</td><td>Before deleting a hunt list, check call-flow, destination, schedule, report, provisioning, or integration references. Use the row delete action or the form delete action when available, then confirm.</td></tr></tbody></table>
