Thanks for input people -
This use has to do with creating an electronic list of information
quickly. The following is a draft of what I'm working with. The
use of the word "dynamically" doesn't work well. This is an RFP,
by the way.

Call List Created On-the-Fly - Within minutes, a group (call list)
generation

I think "a call list can be set up and activated" is sufficient and
that the "group generation" should be deleted.

can be set up and activated. The user can select any
single or multiple variables in the contact data profile in which
to create a call list.
[...]
I'm not sure what precisely is being described.

Creating a call list directly from a database just as one might
create a mailing list directly from one's address book (also a
database) by dragging selected listed names from the book to a folder
called "mailing list x".

Does Created On-the-Fly mean Created-On-Demand
(Created-When-Needed)?

"Created-as-needed directly from the database" also sounds good to
me. This could include drag-and-drop or setting up a new call-list
profile with the appropriate database variables.
