  1. Configure Interaction Workspace. Note that to use role-based access control, you must use Genesys Administrator to configure Workspace Desktop Edition and the plugin.
  2. Install Interaction Workspace using the non-ClickOnce deployment procedure, also known as "installing the Interaction Workspace Application."
  3. Configure and install the social media plugin, being sure that your configuration procedure includes importing the template and metadata for the plugin (see Genesys Administrator 8.1 Help for information on importing metadata). This makes roles and other required items available.

    • You must assign all Workitem privileges. The plugin does not support unassigned Workitem privileges.
    • Assign <socialmedia> privileges.

Media Filters in WDE

Emoji Picker

Enabling Emoji Picker

Tip
For more information about emojis in Genesys solutions, see this article.

Social Media Plugin for Workspace Desktop Edition uses the following configuration options to display emojis in inbound interactions and in emoji picker:

  • facebook.font-name
  • twitter.font-name

To connect the emoji picker for Facebook and Twitter we have to add in WDE configuration settings in existing interaction-workspace section keys:

  • facebook.emojis-business-attribute
  • twitter.emojis-business-attribute

Set the value of the these attributes options to the name of a Business Attribute that defines the emojis that you want to support. It can be one common attribute, for example "Emojis", per both facebook and twitter mediatypes or different like for example "FacebookEmojis" and "TwitterEmojis".

Valid Values: The name of a Business Attribute that defines a set of emojis.
Changes take effect: At the next interaction.

Use the following steps to create a Business Attribute that defines the emojis that your agent can send:

  1. Create a new Business Attribute with a name (for example "Emojis"). This is the Business Attribute that you set as the value of the chat.emojis-business-attribute option.
  2. In the Attribute Value tab of the Business Attribute, create one value for each emoji Unicode character that you want to support.
  3. Name each value with a unique name, such as the number of the Unicode character that you want to support. The Display Name that you define is displayed in a tooltip when an agent hovers their mouse pointer over an emoji before selecting it from the chat text field tools.
  4. For each attribute value, configure the code option and assign to it the value of the emoji Unicode character. The value of the Unicode emoji format is 1F6nn where nn are digits in hex format; for example: 1F607

The following procedure explains how to set up a sample laughing face emoji that has a Unicode = 1F610:

  1. Under the Emojis business attribute, create a new Business Attribute Value.
  2. Update the fields in the General tab with relevant information.
  3. Create a new section called interaction-workspace in the Annex tab.
  4. In the interaction-workspace section, create a new option with Option Name = code, and Option Value = 1F610
  5. Sample emoji gse config.png
  6. Save this Business Attribute Value. This configured emoji will appear in Emoji Picker now.
  7. Fb emoji sample.png

Enabling Emojis in WDE

Twitter and Facebook interactions support Unicode 6 emojis from an installed font such as Segoe UI Emoji. To enable emojis, you must:

  1. Add the following parameters to the Digital Messaging Server init file JavaServerStarter.ini under the [JavaArgs] section:
    -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
    -Dfile.client.encoding=UTF-8
    -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8
    Important
    To avoid data corruption, you must ensure that all components in the chain of communication use UTF-8 encoding.
  2. Install the font Segoe UI Emoji from https://www.dafontfree.net/freefonts-segoe-ui-emoji-f63785.htm.
  3. Set the font name and font size for Twitter inbound interaction text and the font name for Twitter outbound interaction text by adding these options to the WDE configuration settings under the "interaction-workspace" section:
    twitter.font-name=“Segoe UI Emoji”
    twitter.font-size=[specify font size if you need to change the default of 14]
  4. Set the font name and font size for Facebook inbound interaction text and font name for Facebook outbound interaction text by adding these options to the WDE configuration settings under the interaction-workspace section:
    facebook.font-name=“Segoe UI Emoji”
    facebook.font-size=[specify font size if you need to change the default of 14]
The related map between emoticons and emojis is defined in the file EmoticonsEmojis.xml, where you can add, update, or remove emoticon-emoji pairs. After editing this file, you must restart WDE.
