# Type-specific properties of the Phone element

> Configure the Phone search element to find telephone numbers — keywords, separators, digit count, and area code brackets in Advanced Designer.

The **Phone** element has the following properties in the **What to search for** section:

## Basic properties

* **Key words** specifies allowed values for the element keywords.
* **Separators** specifies allowed number separator values.
* **Digits count** specifies the minimum and maximum number of characters in a telephone number.

## Advanced properties

* **Missing key word penalty** specifies a penalty coefficient (a number from 0 to 1) by which the quality of the hypothesis will be multiplied if the key word is not found.
* **Max. space length** allows specifying the maximum length of the space inside the detected object.
* **Area code brackets** allows brackets for city/area codes. To add an opening and closing bracket, click **Add Brackets** and in the **Area code brackets** dialog box, type the opening bracket in the **Opening character** field and the closing bracket in the **Closing character** field. To delete brackets from the list, select the brackets and click the delete icon.
* **Text orientation** allows specifying the orientation of the text you're looking for. By default, the activity only looks for text oriented horizontally and won't formulate a hypothesis for rotated text. If you need to find the text rotated in a specific way and ignore the text written in any other direction, you should select only the **Clockwise** or the **Counter-clockwise** option. To find text regardless of its orientation, you should enable all available options.
