Enabling Internal And External Communications

The following procedures enable internal and external communication features in Workspace Web Edition.

Configuring Team Communicator

Team Communicator is a universal lookup tool. Agents use the Team Communicator to start phone calls and emails. The following procedures enable features in Team Communicator.

Enabling Team Communicator

You can enable agents to use Team Communicator to call a contact that is stored in the Universal Contact Server (UCS).

Before you begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

To enable agents to use Team Communicator to call a contact:

  1. Grant the privilege.teamcommunicator.can-use privilege.
  2. Configure the Team Communicator options in the interaction-workspace section of the WS_Cluster application object.
  3. To restrict which agents can be seen in Team Communicator search results, you can specify which groups an agent can or cannot see by specifying them in these configuration options:
  4. Ensure that the UCS application to which WS_Cluster is connected is configured to support index searches in the Contact database:
    • Set the index\enabled option to true.
    • Set the index.contact\enabled option to true.

    For more details about these settings, refer to the eServices 8.1 Reference Manual.

Enabling call routing and voice call, conference, or transfer

You can enable agents to use Team Communicator to call, conference, or transfer to an agent, agent group, skill, or a routing point using a strategy. This procedure is mandatory for agent groups and skill targets.

Tip
No extra configuration is required to transfer an interaction to an agent.

Before you begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • A working knowledge of Genesys Administrator Extension.
  • A working knowledge of Genesys Designer.
  • A WS_Cluster application object exists in the Configuration Database.
  • To transfer to skills, you must have skills defined in the Configuration Database.
  • To transfer to agent groups, you must have agent groups defined in the Configuration Database.

To enable agents to use Team Communicator to call, conference, or transfer to an agent, agent group, skill, or a routing point:

  1. Set up your system infrastructure:
    1. In the Configuration tab of the WS_Cluster application, add connections to the following servers:
      • Stat Server
      • Universal Contact Server (Optional)
    2. In the connections, add a reference to the T-Server associated with the switch to which the agent logs in.
    3. Configure the Team Communicator options in the interaction-workspace section of the WS_Cluster application object.
  2. Set up your agents to be able to use the Team Communicator to call or transfer to other agents or other internal targets:
    1. To let your agents make voice calls, set the value of the privilege.voice.can-use option, to true.
    2. To ensure that the status of your agents is displayed in the Team Communicator of other agents who might be trying to call them, set the value of the presence.evaluate-presence option to true.
    3. To enable your agents to view the number of targets who are in Ready status in an agent group, perform the following steps:
      1. Add the following definition for the VIRTUAL_AGENT_GROUP and AGENT_GROUP object types to the statistics.yaml file: TransferAvailability_CurrentReadyAgents.
      2. Allow the privilege.teamcommunicator.display-agent-groups-availability privilege.
    4. For small contact centers, where the number of potential transfer targets is low, you can configure Workspace to display all of the possible targets in the Team Communicator search results when an agent initiates a transfer or conference by searching in the Team Communicator.
      To enable this functionality, set the value of the teamcommunicator.show-all-internal-targets option to true.
      This option is limited by the value that is specified for the teamcommunicator.max-size option.
      Important
      Genesys strongly recommends that only small contact centers use this option. Agents in large contact centers will experience system performance issues if the teamcommunicator.show-all-internal-targets option is enabled.
  3. You can choose to set up call routing to direct calls to specific agents based on strategies. To transfer to Skills and Groups, you must also create a routing point by using the intercommunication.voice.routing-points option.
    1. First determine which call flow scenarios you want handled by a routing-based mechanism based on targets, such as langauge or product skills, level of training, or availability, and types of calls, such as high priority customers, inquiries, sales, and so on.
    2. Use Genesys Designer, to create a routing strategy that uses routing targets (agents, agent groups, skills, and so on) to process routing-based actions by using the following attached data:
      • IW_RoutingBasedOriginalEmployeeId — The employee ID of the agent who is transferring the interaction.
      • IW_RoutingBasedTargetId — The ID (employee ID of another agent, AgentGroup name, Skill name, Routing Point name) of the target.
      • IW_RoutingBasedTargetType — The type of the target (Agent, AgentGroup, Skill, or RoutingPointl)
      • IW_RoutingBasedRequestType — Informs the strategy of the type of action is to be done (MakeCall,OneStepConference,InitConference,OneStepTransfer,InitTransfer)
    3. Depending on the type of target for which you want to use routing-based transfer, use Genesys Administrator Extension to set the value of the intercommunication.voice.routing-based-targets options as follows:
      • To use T-Server to handle transfers to Agent, Routing Point, and Type Destination, and have all other transfers handled by a strategy, set the value of this option to "" (empty)
      • To use routing-based transfer for Agents, add the value Agent to this option.
      • To use routing-based transfer for Routing Point, add the value RoutingPoint to this option.
      • To use routing-based transfer for Type Destination (a dialed call), add the value TypeDestination to this option.
      • For agent groups and skills, it is not mandatory to set the routing-based target option because these target always use routing-based transfer.
    4. To specify whether a specific call type is to be handled by the routing-based mechanism, set the value of the intercommunication.voice.routing-based-actions option.
      • MakeCall: Use the routing-based mechanism for external calls.
      • OneStepTransfer: Use the routing-based mechanism for single-step transfers.
      • InitTransfer: Use the routing-based mechanism for two-step transfers.
      • InitConference: Use the routing-based mechanism for two-step conferences.
      • OneStepConference: Use the routing-based mechanism for single-step conferences.
    5. Load the routing strategy on the Routing Point that is defined by the intercommunication.voice.routing-points option.
  4. Fine-tune the settings for contacting specific targets (Agent, AgentGroup, RoutingPoint, Contact, and/or TypeDestination) that are using a routing-based mechanism by configuring action-specific options:
  5. To control whether agents can make one-step transfers and conferences while there is an active consultation on a voice call, configure the following options. Setting the options to true means that the one-step transfer or one-step conference buttons are available during voice calls with active consultations.

Enabling multimedia interaction transfer

You can enable agents to use Team Communicator to transfer a multimedia interaction (Email and Chat) to an agent, agent group, or skill by using a strategy. This procedure is mandatory to transfer to agent groups and skills.

Before you begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • A working knowledge of Genesys Administrator Extension.
  • A working knowledge of Genesys Designer.
  • A WS_Cluster application object exists in the Configuration Database.
  • To transfer to skills, you must have skills defined in the Configuration Database.
  • To transfer to agent groups, you must have agent groups defined in the Configuration Database.

To enable agents to use Team Communicator to transfer a multimedia interactions:

  1. By using Genesys Designer, configure a routed-based transfer workflow by using these steps:
    1. Create an Interaction Queue/Interaction View pair. The Interaction Queue is used as a part of the workflow; however, Interaction Queues are not available as transfer targets in the agent interface.
    2. Create a routing strategy to process routing-based actions. To help you write the appropriate strategy, Workspace Web Edition adds the following attached data to the interaction:
      • IW_RoutingBasedOriginalEmployeeId — The employee ID of the agent who is transferring the interaction.
      • IW_RoutingBasedTargetId — The ID (employee ID of another agent, AgentGroup name, Skill name) of the target.
      • IW_RoutingBasedTargetType — The type of the target (Agent, AgentGroup, or Skill)
      • IW_RoutingBasedRequestType — Informs the strategy of the type of action is to be done. This attached data has only one value available for this release: OneStepTransfer
    3. Link the above Queue to the strategy.
    4. Activate the strategy.
  2. By using Genesys Administrator Extension, set the values of the following configuration options to the Queue that you created in Step 1:
  3. Depending on the type of target for which you want to use routing-based transfer, use Genesys Administrator Extension to set the values of the intercommunication.chat.routing-based-targets and intercommunication.email.routing-based-targets configuration options as follows:
    • To use Interaction Server to handle agent-to-agent transfer and have all other transfers handled by a strategy, set the values of these options to "" (empty)
    • To use routing-based transfer for Agents, set the values of these options to Agent.
    • For agent groups and skills, it is not mandatory to set the routing-based target options because these target always use routing-based transfer.
  4. Log out agents and log them back in again.

Creating Corporate Favorites

You can enable the use of corporate favorites in the Team Communicator. Administrators must create, edit, and remove favorites by using Genesys Administrator Extension. You can configure the system so that each agent is assigned one or more quick dial favorites lists. You do not have to assign the same list of favorites to every agent.

Before you begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • A working knowledge of Genesys Administrator Extension.
  • An understanding of Configuration options
  • A WS_Cluster application object exists in the Configuration Database.

To enable the use of corporate favorites:

  1. By using Genesys Administrator Extension, create a new section in the appropriate object (the WS_Cluster application, Tenant, Agent Group, or Agent), and name it with the name of the Corporate Favorite that you want to create.
  2. Configure the type option in the new Corporate Favorite section to be one of the following types:
    • Agent
    • Agent Group
    • Skill
    • Routing Point
    • Custom Contact
    • Interaction Queue

Attached Data

You can have multiple instances of the same object type, such as a routing point, in corporate favorites with different attached data for each. For example:

  1. In the configuration layer, in options of the related section (or Tenant/Agent Group/Agent annexes), configure the following options in the interaction-workspace section of agent, agent group, tenant, and/or application annexes:
    • teamcommunicator.corporate-favorites -- The list of corporate favorites (quick dial favorites) that are configured in Configuration Server for an Agent, Agent Group, Skill, Routing Point, or Custom Contact in the same tenant as the agent. Favorites that are configured at the agent level take precedence over those that are configured at the agent group level, which take precedence over the tenant level, which takes precedence over the application level.
    • teamcommunicator.max-size -- The maximum number of favorites to display to the agent in the Team Communicator drop-down view.

Assignment of Favorites

When you create corporate favorites, you assign to them a type that is based on the scope to which it is applied: agent, agent group, tenant, or application. You can create multiple favorites and assign them in a hierarchy. For example, you create four favorites: fav1, fav2, fav3, and fav4. You then make the following assignments:

  1. application—teamcommunicator.corporate-favorites="fav1,fav2"
  2. tenant—teamcommunicator.corporate-favorites="fav4"
  3. agent—teamcommunicator.corporate-favorites="fav1,fav3"

The final list of favorites that are assigned to the agent are: "fav1,fav3"

Creating different Corporate Favorites for Transfer, and Conference targets

You can specify different Corporate Favorites to be displayed in Team Communicator for the following call actions by using the capabilities option in the section for a given Corporate Favorite: Main Window Team Communicator, Transfer, and Conference, and Consult.

The teamcommunicator.corporate-favorites option specifies which Corporate Favorites are displayed in Team Communicator. This option can be configured at the Agent, Agent Group, and Application level and can be overridden by a Routing Strategy. The value of this option is a list of sections that contain options that describe the Corporate Favorite.

The following values are supported for the capabilities option:

  • If the capabilities option is set to a specific list of values, then the use of corporate favorites is possible only for these capabilities.
    • Engage: The corporate favorite is enabled in the Main Window Team Communicator to create a new outbound interaction (voice or email).
    • OneStepTransfer: The Corporate Favorite can be used for one-step call transfers.
    • OneStepConference: The Corporate Favorite can be used for one-step call conferences.
    • TwoStepTransfer: The Corporate Favorite can be used for a consultation call which can be completed as a call transfer.
    • TwoStepConference: The Corporate Favorite can be used for a consultation call which can be completed as a call conference.
    • Consultation: The Corporate Favorite can be used for consultation calls that cannot be completed as a call transfer or call conference.
  • If the capabilities option is not set, then the Corporate Favorite can be used for any call operation.
  • If the capabilities option is set with no value specified (empty), then the Corporate Favorite cannot be used for any call operation.

Here are some example Corporate Favorites with different values set for the capabilities option.
