Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


The copyright date in Genesys Desktop 7.6.401.05 was incorrectly reported as 2012. The correct copyright date is 2013. (ER# 321234631, GD-8625)


Agent: Pressing Enter in a reply e-mail interaction now adds only a single linefeed to the body of the e-mail interaction. Previously, two linefeeds were added when Enter was pressed. (ER# 320975098, GD-8623)


Agent: The content of custom tabs is now displayed correctly. Previously, the content of custom tabs might have been corrupted when an agent switched back and forth between standard tabs and custom tabs. (ER# 320541333, GD-8619)


Agent: The Chat progress indicator now behaves correctly when a chat session is ended by the contact. Previously, if the contact sent a message and then ended the Chat session, the Chat progress indicator changed to grey and then changed to red; if the agent sent a message and then the contact ended the Chat session, the Chat progress indicator continued to show progress. (ER# 319805658, GD-8618)


Agent: Now both TOOL_BAR_ITEM_CAMPAIGNS (preferred) and TOOL_BAR_ITEM_CAMPAIGNS (for backward compatibility) constants can be used in customizations. Previously, only TOOL_BAR_ITEM_CAMPAIGNS was available. (ER# 319556267, GD-8616)


Agent: If the value of the disconnect-mode is set to logout, RequestLogout is now always sent when an agent closes the browser by clicking Close (X). Previously in this scenario, RequestLogout sometimes was not sent if the agent closed the browser by clicking Close (X). This problem was initially identified in environments that use the T-Server for Alcatel A4400. (ER# 318306113, GD-8607)


Agent: Previously, if an agent set a chained record as Active, the attached data was used from the first record in the list, not the chained record. Now in this scenario, the attached data from the active chained record is used. (ER# 316149387, GD-8597)


Agent: If an agent makes a new SIP Voice call before closing the tab for a previous SIP Voice call and does not close the warning message, Genesys Desktop no longer displays the following message: Connection to server lost. (ER# 311691401, GD-8575)


Agent: The Apply button is now correctly disabled after the agent chooses the Forward action and selects a media, then clicks Apply. Previously in this scenario, the Apply button remained active. (ER# 311219551, GD-8571)


Agent: An error no longer occurs when an agent launches a new outbound SMS interaction, enters his or her From number, then clicks in the message composition field. Previously in this scenario, a script error occurred. (ER# 303266079, GD-8538)


Supervisor: Supervisors can now correctly change SIP monitoring type. Previously, in some scenarios, a supervisor could not change to a different monitoring type during an agent monitoring sesssion. (ER# 325017819, GD-8808)


Supervisor: A newly created statistic object is now displayed immediately. Previously, newly created statistic objects were not displayed until the application was restarted. (ER# 324029129)


Supervisor: Localized strings are now displayed correctly. Previously, in some Supervisor views, such as the search results in the Work Area, some characters were displayed as HTML codes. (ER# 321738813, GD-8630)


Supervisor: You can now correctly create a new Person object and assign a Skill or Login without first saving the object. Previously, if a supervisor attempted to assign a Skill or a Login during the Agent creation process, the following error message was displayed: An unexpected error has occurred: person creation failed, and incorrect values were displayed for the Skill and Login. (ER# 321562408, GD-8627)


Supervisor: The following monitoring configuration options now accept the values true, 1, yes, and on to enable them: ChatBargeIn, ChatSilentMonitoring, ChatWhisperCoaching, SIPBargeIn, SIPSilentMonitoring, and SipWhisperCoaching. Previously, if any value other than true was assigned, supervisors could not initiate Chat Monitoring.

The enabling and disabling of SIP and Chat Monitoring now works correctly. Previously in some scenarios, they could not be correctly enabled or disabled.

(ER# 319499897, GD-8617, 281013325, GD-8262, 279768364, GD-8248)


Supervisor: The Supervisor Work Area now correctly displays e-mail interactions that have a mix of plain text and HTML formatted content. Previously in some scenarios, the plain text portion of the content was not displayed to the Supervisor in the Details Pane. (ER# 316018497, GD-8596)


Supervisor: Genesys Desktop can now correctly subscribe to statistics regardless of whether the primary or the backup Stat Server is running when Genesys Desktop is started. Previously, if the backup Stat Server was running as the primary when Genesys Desktop was started, Genesys Desktop did not subscribe to statistics. (ER# 315371228, GD-8592)

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following correction and modification:


Agent: You can now specify the new enable-negotiated-logout option whether an agent is logged out immediately or the logout is postponed by Outbound Campaign Server for a period of time that is specified by the call_wait_connected_timeout option, regardless of the number of Send or Dialed calls in progress. Previously, agents who were on blended Inbound and Outbound channels could not logout out Genesys Desktop until a negotiated logout timer expired. (ER# 316814997)

Section: outbound
Option Name: enable-negotiated-logout
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: At the next agent session.
Description: Specifies whether the Negotiated Logout feature is enabled. If the value of this option is set to true, a LogOutTime request is sent to Outbound Contact Server for all participating campaigns and if the value that is returned is greater than 0, agents are prohibited to logout for a number of seconds that is specified by the LogOutTime response time option, which is defined by the call_wait_connected_timeout option of Outbound Campaign Server.

Agent: The "To" field of outbound reply e-mail interactions is now correctly populated with information from the "From" field of the original inbound e-mail interaction.

(ER# 312931838)


Agent: You can now transfer a call multiple times on all switch types. Previously, on some switch types, such as Nortel, if a call was on hold it could not be transferred multiple times. (ER# 312047688)


Agent: JavaScript errors no longer occur if you use a customization with an extension. (ER# 311311511)


Agent: Contact e-mail address case-insensitivity is now handled correctly.

For example, MyEmail@mail.dom and myemail@mail.dom are no longer handled as different e-mail addresses. (ER# 311028597)


Agent: You can now see the attached data for contact interactions in the History tab if the value of the voice\database option is set to external. Previously, this setting resulted in attached data not being displayed in the contact History tab. (ER# 309707684)

General Corrections and Modifications


Genesys Desktop now works correctly in Internet Explorer 6, which uses web servers with caching and deflating settings. Previously, in this scenario, the following error message was displayed: Problem UADCommon doesn't exist. (ER# 300219520)


Genesys Desktop has been migrated to Tomcat 6.0.35 to avoid a vulnerability in the hash tables that might have affected system security. (ER# 297438763)

Login error messages are now correctly localized. Previously, login error messages, such as Password is incorrect, were displayed in English when localized dictionaries were used. (ER# 224888021)


Agent Corrections and Modifications


Agent: An issue with a metadata tag that includes http-equiv=refresh in some e-mail interactions no longer causes a 403 error. Genesys Desktop now handles e-mail interactions that have this metadata tag by removing it to enable these e-mail interactions to be correctly displayed. (ER# 300325819)


Agent: Interface buttons that have built-in drop-down menus now work correctly. Previously, in certain scenarios, the drop-down menu did not display when the button was clicked. (ER# 296752381)


Agent: Genesys Desktop now more quickly renders the Attached Data panel in Internet Explorer 6 when an interaction contains a large amount of text in the attached data. (ER# 293061228)

Supervisor: A memory leak in Genesys Desktop has been fixed. Previously, memory was not completely released after using the Interaction Management feature. (ER# 295335512)


Agent: Genesys Desktop no longer sends RST packets to reset the connection when interactions are displayed. (ER# 288838785)


Agent: A new option has been added to Genesys Agent Desktop to retain all campaign call functionalities after a campaign is stopped or unloaded. The outbound\campaign-stale-timeout option specifies a timeout interval, this timeout works with the OCServer\stale_clean_timeout option of Outbound Contact Server (OCS). (ER# 286321112)

General Corrections and Modifications


You can now specify whether agent credentials are stored and automatically added to the login window username and Place fields when Genesys Desktop is launched. In the security section, set the new login-store-agent-credentials-in-cookies-enable to false to prevent the agent credentials from being stored locally. (ER# 266237331)


Genesys Desktop has increased security against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) by improving the verification of HTTP requests. (ER# 266102457)


You can now specify whether agent credentials are added in the suggested list of auto-filling to the login window username and Place fields when Genesys Desktop is launched. Set the new login-auto-complete-agent-credentials-enabled to false to prevent the agent credentials from using the suggested list. (ER# 266102432)


Agent login now functions correctly. Previously, if an agent login failed, successive agents experienced a browser freeze after they clicked Submit in their login windows. (ER# 265907533)


Uncaught exceptions are now logged for tracking with JDK 1.5 or higher. (ER# 265142619)


Genesys Desktop improves the defense in the license keep-alive mechanism. Previously, if an issue appeared in this area, no new agents could be logged in. (ER# 264472259)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the login windows for credentials and change language fields have been removed. (ER# 263652917)


Genesys Desktop supports Apache 2.2.14 and higher. The Genesys Desktop 7.6 Deployment Guide no longer erroneously states that Genesys Desktop supports Apache 2.2.4. (ER# 263638447)


Since version 7.6.302.xx, Genesys Desktop also supports IBM JDK 1.6. The Genesys Desktop 7.6 Deployment Guide no longer erroneously states that Genesys Desktop supports only IBM JDK 1.4.1, 1.4.2, or 1.5. (ER# 263638445)


Memory usage has been improved when Genesys Desktop is running as a Windows Service. (ER# 262356321)


Genesys Desktop is now correctly handled by the Management Layer when it is running as a Windows Service. (ER# 262172169)


Genesys Desktop no longer freezes due to a deadlock when network issues cause Stat Server to disconnect from Genesys Desktop. (ER# 259892393)


Agent Corrections and Modifications


Agent: Chat messages now display correctly. Previously, agent messages might have been repeated in the Chat Interaction window — especially if the agent was using auto-spelling check. (ER# 267861017)


Agent: During Spelling Check, clicking on a correction word from the list of suggestions now causes the Suggestions radio button to be selected automatically. This update also affects selections in the inbound e-mail transfer, voice transfer, voice conference, and Forward panels. (ER# 266388009)


Agent: An Error 500 no longer occurs in the Campaign tab when the Outbound campaign interaction is in ASM mode. (ER# 265966061)


Agent: Multiple notifications are no longer sent to an agent for Workbin group-related events. Previously, a number of notifications that was equal to the number of logged in agents, was sent to the target agent. (ER# 265576682)


Agent: The value-type<n> option has been added to the statistic section. It specifies whether the status or counter statistic is displayed for agent status. This option now enables the CurrentAgentState statistic to be displayed properly. Previously, the display value was always 0. (ER# 265290066)


Agent: An Error 500 no longer occurs when you search for external resources by the description attribute. (ER# 265070271)


Agent: In Predictive mode, the Outbound campaign interaction is now correctly displayed when the Target value or the Optimize parameter are updated. Previously, the Campaign Status was displayed as Unknown, and the Reschedule tab was not available. (ER# 264396904)


Agent: When Standard Responses are inserted into an interaction, the text is now formatted according to what is specified by the default-font-size and default-font-style options, or what formatting has been set by the agent at the insertion point. For signatures, the text is now formatted according to what is specified by the default-font-size and default-font-style options. (ER# 264279739)


Agent: You can now configure spelling check to be case-sensitive by using the enable-case-sensitive option in the spell-check-options section. (ER# 263571115)


Agent: Auto-Suggest responses are now correctly highlighted when an agent is handling an interaction, whether the response is suggested by a routing strategy or manually. (ER# 263089039)


Agent: User Events have been extended to Outbound campaign interactions by including the ConnID to make user events available to Genesys Call Concentrator. (ER# 262766130)

Corrections and Modifications

This release also includes the following corrections and modifications:


The bandwidth of Universal Contact Server (UCS) requests has been improved for Genesys Desktop. This enhancement improves exchanges between Genesys Desktop and UCS by removing the generation of unnecessary information, which resulted in increased network traffic. (ER# 261892566)


The <disposition-code-mandatory> child tag has been added to Genesys Desktop customization. You can define the selection of disposition code as mandatory, prior to applying the new action by using this child tag, when you set up new actions. The Disposition Code feature is available for actions that are done in the following tags: interaction-secondary-controls and interaction-primary-controls. By default, the <disposition-code-mandatory> child tag mechanism is not applied, except for the following predefined actions that are associated with this mechanism:

- ACTION_MARK_DONE
- ACTION_STOP
- ACTION_SEND

The following constant has been added to the <interaction-information> tag: TAB_DISPOSITION_CODE. The TAB_DISPOSITION_CODE tab enables the display of the disposition code tab. This tab is displayed only when disposition codes are configured and available for the current interaction. This is the same behavior as standard interactions.

The Disposition Code mechanism is not taken into account for targets of type TARGET_POPUP. (ER# 260553358)


Two new configuration options have been added to the Genesys Desktop application to enable better handling of compound words during spelling check. Previously, for certain languages, such as German, which employ many compound words, the spelling check function sometimes made incorrect suggestions. (ER# 256934663)

Section: spell-check-options
Option Name: enable-compound-words
Default Value: deu,fin
Valid Values: A comma-separated list of language codes from the following list: dan, nld, usa, eng, fin, fra, deu, itn, nor, ptb, ptg, esp, sve, <language ID for custom dictionaries>
Changes Take Effect: Immediately.

General Corrections and Modifications


A potential Cross-site Scripting (XSS) security vulnerability for Tomcat has been resolved. (ER# 240676947)

Previously, some configurations allowed Genesys Desktop to join the Chat session before the agent. In that scenario, agents were unable to close Chat sessions properly which resulted in the same session being submitted to another agent. (ER# 236891532)


Agent: Genesys Desktop can now display a large number of entries in the speed dial list. Scroll bars are displayed if the length of the speed dial list exceeds the window size. (ER# 236834299)


Agent: Agent DNs are now correctly unregistered after agent logout. (ER# 236814400)


Agent: Agents are now correctly notified if a campaign was loaded prior to the agent login. (ER# 236533818)


Agent: Timestamps for Chat transcripts in the Contact History are now converted to the local time of the agent or the server. Previously, the timestamps were displayed using UTC. (ER# 236403260)


Agent: Agents that are not part of an Outbound campaign are now prevented from sending requests to Outbound Contact Server. Previously, if an Outbound campaign call was transferred to an agent that was not part of the campaign, the target agent could send requests to Outbound Contact Server; however, Outbound Contact Server was not able to process them. (ER# 236310074)

Note: Set the option outbound\enable-chain-75api to true to enable this functionality.


Agent: Formatting of standard responses is now retained when a response is inserted into the body of an e-mail. (ER# 235436810)


Agent: The ERROR 500 pages are no longer displayed when agents try to mark push preview interactions as done. (ER# 232409925)


Agent: A security vulnerability that involved inserting URLs into various Genesys Agent Desktop fields has been removed. (ER# 232356579)


Agent: A security vulnerability that involved inserting URLs into search fields has been removed. (ER# 231104451)


Agent: For agents that have the disposition\is-mandatory=true option set, the interface controls are now active after agents reply to an e-mail and selects a disposition code. (ER# 230615561)


Agent: When Genesys Desktop server shuts down, the SESSION_STOP interceptor event is now correctly sent for agents that are logged in. (ER# 229451684)


Agent: The file names of attachments are now correctly maintained during save operations. (ER# 227941804)


Agent: It is now possible to limit the length of Instant Message (IM) messages. (ER# 227291090)


Agent: The font of a new e-mail no longer changes during e-mail composition and editing. (ER# 225624853)


Agent: Input fields are now correctly validated in order to remove any security vulnerabilities. (ER# 223335868)


Agent: The userName tag is now exposed for the tabs tag. This enables tabs to be customized with the name of the agent. (ER# 221307836)


Supervisor Corrections and Modifications


Supervisor: Genesys Supervisor Desktop is no longer vulnerable to interactions that contain XML-like attached data or Cross-site scripting (XSS). (ER# 242706924, 233720339)


Supervisor: For Solaris 10 with WebSphere Application Server 6.0, a JSP Processing Error: HTTP Error Code: 500 no longer occurs during the compiling of JSP files. (ER# 242090055)


Supervisor: For the silent-monitor-mode option, the only valid values are mute and normal. All other values are treated as mute. Previously, the additional valid values coach and connect were available. (ER# 227246681)


Supervisor: Dashboard icons are now displayed correctly by the Apple Safari browser. (ER# 207875191)

Supervisor: An issue in which SIP monitoring was not fully cancelled in One Call mode has been resolved. Previously, SIP monitoring was cancelled automatically after a monitored call ended, but, in One Call mode, the Monitoring Session icon was not removed from the interface. If a supervisor attempted to use the Cancel Monitoring Session option, the supervisor received an error message. (ER# 244367778)


Agent: A slowness issue related to duplication of contact attributes has been resolved for the Last Routed Agent feature. Previously, Genesys Agent Desktop would temporarily use an excess of system resources and appear to become unresponsive. (ER# 244086134)

Genesys Desktop logs no longer contain unencrypted passwords of agents and supervisors. Previously, if an error occurred at login, such as no available licenses, the user name and unencrypted password of the agent or supervisor were recorded in the logs. (ER# 242695694)


Supervisor: The handling of statistics and threshold notification has been improved to reduce the usage of memory. (ER# 242606401)


Supervisor: Genesys Supervisor Desktop no longer makes an explicit call to Full Garbage Collector when a supervisor logs out. Previously, the explicit call to Full Garbage Collector could have resulted in the Full Garbage Collector running twice. (ER# 242516367)


Supervisor: A new optional component has been added to Genesys Supervisor Desktop to prevent Genesys Supervisor Desktop from disconnecting from Statistic Server if the statistic-handling rate inside Genesys Supervisor Desktop is too slow. The new component uses the queue to handle statistics events. Use the supervisor\stat-event-queue option to control the use of the queue for statistics events. (ER# 242487944)

Section: supervisor
Option Name: stat-event-queue
Default Value: noqueue
Valid Values:

Supervisor: A deadlock no longer occurs if one supervisor views the list of agents that are assigned to a skill while a second supervisor removes this skill from some of the agents. (ER# 241930735)

Supervisor: Expanded logging capabilities and the ability to generate a thread dump have been added to Genesys Supervisor Desktop to enable detailed tracking by generating a thread dump whenever an event exceeds a specified duration.

The following optional parameters have been added to the stat-reporting option in the supervisor section: thread-dump-limit=x and thread-dump-period=x, where x represents a value that you specify when you set these options. To disable these options, remove them from the supervisor section.

For example, setting the first parameter to thread-dump-limit=100 generates a thread dump if the duration that is required to handle an event exceeds 100 seconds. The default value disables thread dumping.

Setting the second parameter to thread-dump-period=5 specifies that the next thread dump will occur 5 minutes after the previous thread dump has occurred. The default value disables thread dumping. (ER# 240730581)

This release introduces a new configuration option that addresses an issue for customers who use Web Chat and have Genesys Desktop Servers installed in a different timezone than where agents are working. Web Chat Timestamps can now be configured to be displayed in the timezone of the agent rather than the timezone of the server by using the use-server-time-zone option. Previously, when a Chat interaction arrived at the agent desktop, the timestamp on the interaction was that of the Server rather than of the agent. (ER# 234372839, 237274701)

Section: default
Option Name: use-server-time-zone
Default Value: true
Valid Values: true, false

If this option is set to false, the timezone of the agent is used for Chat interactions, the History list, Chat details in the History and Workbin, and the Notepad. All panels in Genesys Supervisor Desktop that display timestamps, display them in the timezone of the supervisor.

If this option is set to true then the timezone of the server is used in all of the above instances.

Note: For the Notepad, if the option is set to false, a suffix that defines the offset of the timestamp from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is added to timestamps. For example: 10/30/09 7:32:34 PM GMT+02:00. The offset is expressed in hours and minutes before (-) or after (+) GMT. In the above example, you can determine the timestamp in GMT by subtracting 2 hours from the timestamp.


Genesys Desktop Server no longer becomes deadlocked during startup if a Supervisor or System Administrator concurrently modifies an object in the Configuration Layer, such as a Skill. Previously, a deadlock on the server could occur if one of the following Configuration Layer objects was modified during Genesys Desktop Server start up:

Agent: Genesys Desktop no longer freezes after an Agent clicks Mark Done to end the voice call. (ER# 235613171, 236316252)


Agent: Genesys Agent Desktop (GAD) correctly displays only the Reconnect button when an agent selects Two-step Transfer during a call, and the split-consult option in the voice section is set to false. Previously in this situation, GAD incorrectly displayed an additional button, which is used to release the initial interaction. (ER# 235324777)


Agent: Genesys Desktop customizations that employ the getTrunk() method from the InteractionVoice class now properly retrieve the AttributeThisTrunk parameter. Previously, the AttributeThisTrunk parameter was set to 0 unless the interaction was disconnected. (ER# 235171731)


Agent: Genesys Desktop correctly handles the Alcatel OXE/4400 switch Pre-assigned mode when an agent uses a Place previously used by another agent. Previously, Genesys Desktop incorrectly handled this mode by displaying an incorrect agent status; the only way to resolve the issue was to restart Genesys Desktop server. (ER# 234579564)


Supervisor: A connection to Statistics Server is now established correctly when Genesys Supervisor Desktop is started. Previously, statistics were not available if options were not initialized. (ER# 234373024)
Supervisor:An intermittent issue that resulted in a deadlock has been corrected. Previously, a deadlock could occur if agents that have assigned threshold were removed . (ER# 233759154)
Supervisor: Statistics request quantity is now correct regardless of how many cloned (copied) view profiles a Supervisor creates. Previously, the number of statistics requests may have increased significantly, if a supervisor created many copies of a view profile. (ER# 233295995)

Previously, if the connection to Interaction Server was set to a connection type other than Interaction Server (T-Server), interactions were not displayed in the Supervisor Work Area and Interaction Management was not available. (ER# 230975692)


Supervisor: Additions or deletions of object sets made in one instance of Genesys Desktop Server are now visible either immediately (if the option supervisor-data-reloading is set to true) or after manual refresh (if the options supervisor-data-reloading is set to false) in a different instance of Genesys Desktop Server, if both instances are connected to the same Configuration Manager. Previously, object set changes made in one instance were not visible in another, if the changes were made recursively in Configuration Manager. (ER# 230612688)


Agent: The option multimedia\default-from-address now works correctly if an agent forwards an Outbound e-mail from the History pane. Previously, the first From e-mail address in the address list was used instead of the e-mail address that was specified as the default From address. (ER# 227291320)

Agent: The Disposition tab is now displayed correctly. Previously, changing attached data during the reception of the interaction could cause the tab to not be displayed. (ER# 227917412)


In the agent login window, the Submit button is now disabled as soon as the agent clicks it. Previously, the Submit button was not disabled after being clicked; if an agent clicked the button a second time before login was complete, a pending session was created which resulted in a memory leak. (ER# 226878430)

Also, if an agent presses the Submit button a second time, ERROR 500 is displayed in the Login window and login fails. The agent should refresh the current page or return to the first login window.


Extensive updates to agent permissions or skills in the Configuration Layer no longer result in an AIL queue overflow and other problems. Previously, if extensive changes to agent permissions or skills were made while agents were logged in, an overload could occur in the AIL queue. (ER# 226878385)

General Corrections and Modifications


Genesys Desktop no longer evaluates Javascript code entered by agents in the text fields of the Login pane and the Voice interaction pane. Previously, Javascript code entered in this way might have been evaluated, which could have caused cross-site scripting (XSS) issues, including unauthorized actions in Genesys Desktop. (ER# 224429546)


Genesys Desktop license management has been improved to ensure that media licenses are checked out only if the supervisor specifies a particular media at login. Previously, a media seat license was checked out upon supervisor login, even if the supervisor did not specify any media. For example, now if 5 licenses are available for media seats and 4 agents are logged in to the e-mail channel, then a supervisor logs in and selects voice channel only, the supervisor will no longer also be assigned a media seat license. (ER# 217411198)


The Genesys Desktop 7.6 Deployment Guide now recommends the correct values for the T-Server option consult-user-data. For more information about this option, refer to your T-Server Deployment Guide. (ER# 214053021)


Agent Corrections and Modifications


Agent: The Next Page and Last Page buttons in the List of Transfer Targets pane of an inbound e-mail now work correctly. Previously, clicking these buttons had no effect. (ER# 226807947)


Agent: The Notepad now correctly records the transfer reason for both one- and two-step transfers. Previously, if an agent who had received a transfer, used a one-step transfer to transfer the call back to the first transferring agent, the Notepad lost all the information that was added, beginning with the first transfer. (ER# 226313642)


Agent: After an outbound campaign call is transferred, the display order of custom fields is now the same as the order that is defined in the Format list. (ER# 225378571)


Agent: A protection routine has been added to Genesys Desktop to prevent Microsoft Internet Explorer from throwing a Stack Overflow error while an agent is editing the e-mail address of a contact. (ER# 224904256)


Agent: The Cut and Copy buttons now work corrrectly on text in the body of an e-mail that has been selected by double-clicking. (ER# 224375680)


Agent: Error 500 is no longer displayed if the agent receives an HTML formatted e-mail that contains pointers to an image with an unidentified source file. (ER# 222895023)


Agent: For HTML formatted outgoing e-mails, the Bulleted List and Numbered List buttons now function correctly. Previously, the formatting was always applied to the first line of the e-mail rather than to the selected line(s). (ER# 222572628)


Agent: Genesys Desktop no longer displays duplicate entries for Transfer Route Points if a switch is configured to add its own access codes. (ER# 221662711)


Supervisor Corrections and Modifications


Supervisor: Changes made to agent skills in both the Configuration Layer and the Supervisor Desktop are now correctly synchronized. Previously, if more than one skill was changed in the Configuration Layer, the changes were not displayed in the Supervisor Desktop. If a supervisor subsequently added a skill to an agent, all the previous skills for the agent were deleted in the Configuration Layer. (ER# 226954042)


Supervisor: Unicode character sets now display correctly when used for Skill and Agent Group names. (ER# 226843451)


Supervisor: The name of the auto-save-filter on the Genesys Supervisor Desktop template is now spelled correctly. Previously, Genesys Supervisor Desktop repeatedly warned that the auto-save-filter could not be found in application options. (ER# 223671445)


Supervisor: The Save button in the Properties tab of the Details pane for ACD Queues, Virtual Queues, Routing Queues, Routing Points, Virtual Route Points, DN Groups, Agent Groups, Places, Place Groups, and Routing Point Groups is now correctly disabled after changes to the properties have been saved. (ER# 222680662)


Supervisor: The Assign Skill/Level dialog box now correctly closes after a supervisor clicks OK to assign a Skill and Level to an agent or agent group. Previously, the dialog box did not close and Microsoft Internet Explorer displayed an error message. (ER# 222439330)


Supervisor: Genesys Desktop now takes passwords set for Statistics for the Tenant. Previously, Genesys Desktop could not open Statistics if there was a Statistics password set on the Tenant. (ER# 222328559)


Supervisor: Genesys Supervisor Desktop now supports the display of Microsoft Outlook Express Saved Mail Message (.EML) attachments. Previously, this functionality was supported only by Genesys Agent Desktop. (ER# 222200837)


Supervisor: A minor issue involving the creation, deletion, and re-creation of agents has been fixed. Previously, if a supervisor created an agent through the Genesys Supervisor Desktop interface, then deleted the agent, then immediately re-created the agent, the status of the re-created agent was displayed as n/a until Genesys Desktop was restarted. (ER# 221605537)


Supervisor: Genesys Supervisor Desktop no longer uses statistics functionality if the stat-enable option is set to false and no longer uses threshold functionality if thresholds-enable is set to false. As well, these options are automatically set to false if there is no connection to Statistics Server. Previously, additional computer resources were used in each of these cases. (ER# 221511971)


Supervisor: Genesys Supervisor Desktop now supports multi-site environments with multiple T-Servers. Supervisors can now monitor calls on switches other than the one to which they are registered. This functionality is supported by the SIP Server option sip-server-inter-trunk on the trunk that is used to tranfer a call. This option modifies the distribution of information in telephony events in a multi-site configuration. Set the value of the option to true to enable the functionality. (ER# 221307882)

Note: Only SIP Server switches are supported for multi-site configurations; other switch types and T-Servers are not supported for multi-site configurations.


Supervisor: The interaction-equals-search option has been added to the supervisor section to improve the performance of the Basic Search function that is used by the Find and Filter dialog boxes. If this option is set to true, queries to the database use the EQUALS operator instead of the LIKE operator. The EQUALS operator reduces the potential number of items returned by the query. The default value is false. If interaction-equals-search is set to true, use the Advanced Search function to return results that use the LIKE operator. (ER# 220645511)


Supervisor: Genesys Supervisor Desktop now functions correctly if many Supervisors are logged in concurrently. Previously, this situation could occasionally lead to NullPointer and ConcurrentModification exceptions. (ER# 220462131)


Supervisor: You can now assign skills to a selection of multiple agents in all cases. Previously, if a supervisor selected agents individually instead of as part of a group or a slice, then tried to assign a skill to the selected agents, the skill was not assigned. This issue occurred most frequently in scenarios where there was a significant network delay due to the distance between a supervisor and the Genesys servers, or if one or more hosts were running slowly. In these scenarios, a supervisor selected agents and clicked Assign before the server had registered the selection. (ER# 220449444)


Supervisor: Genesys Supervisor Desktop no longer has memory usage issues following a restart of Statistics Server. (ER# 220344428)


Supervisor: Blended SIP Voice and Instant Messaging monitoring can now be correctly cancelled. (ER# 220291861)


Supervisor: Supervisors can now switch to Silent Monitoring from Barge-in Monitoring while monitoring Web Chat interactions. (ER# 220160663)


Supervisor: If a skill is created and then renamed in the Configuration Layer, the renamed skill can now be used correctly in the Supervisor Work Area. Previously, filtering agents based on a renamed skill returned an empty result. (ER# 219789071)


Supervisor: Monitoring of an agent that is logged in to a SIP channel as a Supervisor no longer results in a NullPointerException. Monitoring was not blocked and monitoring of Agents was not affected by this issue. (ER# 219263021)


Supervisor: You can now use the Use default threshold template option to assign the default threshold template to a list of objects such as a Queue Group. Previously, you had to explicitly assign the threshold template that you had defined as the default. (ER# 219029086)


Supervisor: You can now change the name of Conditional Thresholds. Previously, the original name was retained after a supervisor tried to change the name in the Settings dialog box. (ER# 219029011)


Supervisor: You can now rename Quick Dashboard entries with a name that contains the colon character. Previously, if the original name of the Quick Dashboard entry contained a colon character, then only the portion of the name preceeding the colon character was changed. (ER# 218893887)


Supervisor: You can now specify an object type when you create a new Threshold Template object. Previously, the only object type that was available was Agent. (ER# 218716070)


Supervisor: The keyboard shortcut to launch the Chat Monitoring function now works correctly. (ER# 218539833)


Supervisor: In Interaction view, the Find and Filter functions now work correctly if the Priority field is used. (ER# 218102805)


Supervisor: You can now change the view of the Supervisor Work Area before a move action or other bulk action is complete. Previously, if a Supervisor changed the view of the Supervisor Work Area while a large set of interactions was being moved from one queue to another, the move action stopped as soon as the Supervisor changed the view. (ER# 217848419)


Supervisor: In the Advanced Find dialog box, using the Assigned field in a search now returns the correct results. (ER# 217558318)


Supervisor: Supervisors can now change the Wrap-Up time that has been configured in the Genesys Configuration Layer for Agents if the Wrap-Up time has been set to 0. Previously, if a Supervisor attempted to change the Wrap-Up time for an Agent, an Unexpected exception message was displayed, and the Wrap-Up time was set to the value n/a. (ER# 217513726)


Supervisor: The Advanced Sort function, with some fields for both Customer Segments and Service Types, no longer returns an empty list. (ER# 217455256)


Supervisor: It is now possible to use the Status field for any Routing Point Groups view, including the following functions on Routing Point Groups: Advanced Sort, Find/Filter. Previously, a message box that contained the text id was displayed if you tried to use the Status field. (ER# 217367554)


Supervisor: You can now add Agent Groups to the Quick Dashboards if your view contains the Details tab, and at least one other tab. Previously, if your view contained more than one tab the following message was displayed when you tried to add an Agent Group to the Quick Dashboard: Duplicate element not added to the dashboard. (ER# 215643061)


Supervisor: Hiding and unhiding of shortcuts on Quick Dashboards with mutliple rows now works correctly. Previously some shortcuts that were selected to be hidden were not hidden and some shortcuts not selected to be hidden were hidden. (ER# 215050124)


Supervisor: Agents are now correctly sorted by Skill Level in Agent Groups lists after a selection of Agents have their Skill Level changed. Previously, a supervisor had to refresh the Agent Group view to ensure that the Agents were correctly sorted. (ER# 212615507)


Supervisor: The drop-down lists for the Threshold Template and E-Mail Notification List in the Routing Queue Properties pane are now correctly enabled if the specified lists are available. (ER# 209759261)


Supervisor: The Genesys Supervisor Desktop Help now contains information for two Server Settings dialog boxes. You can access the dialog boxes through the Administrative Tasks > Defining Server-Level Settings menu. (ER# 205545040)

The missing dialog boxes were Server Settings ‑ Agent Statistics and Server Settings ‑ E‑mail Notification. The Agent Statistics dialog box enables you to show or hide Agent Statistics. The E‑mail Notification dialog box enables you to specify whether e-mail notifications will be sent from Genesys Desktop Server, what address and SMTP server to use, which SSL port to use, if any, and whether username and password authentification is to be used.


Supervisor: You can now correctly set and remove the Default label for the E-Mail Notification List. (ER# 202489699)


Supervisor: A new E-Mail Notifcation List is no longer created each time a supervisor attempts to edit an existing E-Mail Notification List. (ER# 202489696)


Supervisor: The Interaction Properties pane now correctly displays changes that are made to the properties of interactions. (ER# 202420388)


Supervisor: Long names are now correctly displayed in the Media Lists drop-down list of the Statistics pane. (ER# 182005893)


Supervisor: Space characters that are added before or after the name of a new View Profile Template or View Template are now removed when the new View Profile Template or View Template is created. Space characters are not permitted at the beginning or end of the name of a View Profile Template. (ER# 182005887, 181841121)


Supervisor: Genesys Desktop now removes extra space characters from the name of a new E-Mail Notification List if a Supervisor enters a name containing spaces at the beginning or end of the name. (ER# 181841130)


Supervisor: For the Safari browser on the Macintosh OS, the pane in the View Template Wizard that provides the list of statistics has been adjusted to display the names correctly. (ER# 173520871)


Supervisor: On Macintosh OS workstations, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+6 now correctly displays the Agent Place Group view. (ER# 173080991)


Supervisor: Adding criteria to an empty default field for Advanced Find and Filter operations no longer results in an error. Previously, the following error message was displayed: Invalid Entry. (ER# 168181453)


Supervisor: You can now restart the Genesys Supervisor Desktop application by using the WebSphere administration console more than twice. Doing so no longer causes the following error from WebSphere: OutOfMemory. You no longer have to stop and restart WebSphere. General memory management has also been improved as part of this correction. (ER# 78865280)

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


Agent: Custom fields for outbound calls are correctly displayed. Previously, an agent sometimes had to click on the Custom Fields tab before it was correctly displayed. (ER# 231685141)


Agent: The Connect button on an outgoing SIP call pane is now correctly displayed and enabled even if there is no T-Server section in the Annex tab of the DN. Previously, if a SIP softswitch was in use, the Connect button was not enabled if the T-Server section was missing. (ER# 228606044)


Agent: The Disposition tab is now displayed correctly. Previously, changing attached data during the reception of the interaction could cause the tab to not be displayed. (ER# 227917412)


Extensive updates to agent permissions or skills in the configuration layer no longer result in an AIL queue overflow and other problems. Previously, if extensive changes to agent permissions or skills were made while agents were logged in an overload could occur in the AIL queue. (ER# 226878385)


The Notepad now correctly records the transfer reason for both one- and two-step transfers. Previously, if an agent who had received a transfer, used a one-step transfer to transfer the call back to the first transferring agent, the Notepad lost all the information that was added, beginning with the first transfer. (ER# 226313642) )


Agent: After an outbound campaign call is transferred, the display order of custom fields is now the same as the order that is defined in the Format list. (ER# 225378571)

New in This Release

This is a hot fix for this product. This release does not contain new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


Supervisor: Agent status is now displayed correctly when a deleted agent is re-created. Previously, if a supervisor created an agent through the Genesys Desktop Supervisor interface, then deleted the agent, then immediately re-created the agent, the status of the re-created agent was displayed as n/a until Genesys Desktop was restarted. (ER# 220935042)


Agent: Agents can now reply to inbound e-mails when a voice interaction is in status ringing on their desktop. Previously, in this scenario, a new outbound e-mail interaction did not open on the desktop if the agent clicked Reply on the inbound e-mail interaction interface. (ER# 221391067)


Supervisor: You can now fine tune the performance of statistics. Previously, some statistics became suspended (n/a was displayed instead of the statistic) if too many statistics were subscribed to. To address this issue, the following option was added to the supervisor section to control statistic subscription and notification. Use this option to decrease the number of notifications and resume suspended statistics more quickly. (ER# 219778649)

Section: supervisor
Option Name: stat-management
Default Value: ""
Valid Values:

The value of this statistic is a list of tokens separated by a semi-colon (";"). Each token describes the statistic id and the status of the statistic. The tokens behave as switches; they enable you to turn subscription and notification on and off for specific statistics.


Supervisor: You can now assign/remove skills correctly in all cases. Previously, in some scenarios, a skill was assigned only to one agent or was not assigned to any agents. This issue occurred most frequently in scenarios where there was a significant network delay due to the distance between a supervisor and the Genesys servers, or if one or more hosts were running slowly. In these scenarios, a supervisor selected agents and clicked Assign before the server had registered the selection. (ER# 210220299)

New in this Release: General



New in this Release: Agent



New in this Release: Supervisor


Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications that were made between Release 7.6.1 or earlier releases and the initial 7.6.2 release:


General Corrections and Modifications


Genesys Desktop Server no longer fails to respond if the Wide Area Network (WAN) connection with Universal Contact Server (UCS) is interrupted. Previously, Genesys Desktop failed to respond when contact with UCS was lost and had to be restarted. (ER# 217557481)


Text fields in the Genesys Desktop login window have been expanded to 25 characters to enable longer login names, passwords, and other information. (ER# 214253819)


Login to the Genesys Desktop Voice channel has been enhanced to avoid an issue that might have caused the application to fail to respond. (ER# 213513752)


Agent Corrections and Modifications


Agent: In Outbound mode, if an agent transfers a Push Preview voice call, only the voice interaction is displayed to the target agent. Previously, if the preview-park-queue option from the outbound section was set, an Open Media interaction, not associated with the outbound campaign, was also displayed. (ER# 220068914)


Agent: Previously, if an agent was using the Spell Check function on an outgoing e-mail interaction and a new incoming Chat interaction was received, the text changes made by the agent before using the Spell Check function were lost when the focus changed from the Spell Check to the new Chat interaction. Now, updates made before using the Spell Check function are saved before a new interaction is opened. (ER# 218539564)


Agent: Attachments to archived interactions can now be opened from the View Details tab of the Contact History pane. Previously, a 404 error was displayed when an agent clicked to open an archived attachment. (ER# 217723536)


Agent: For configurations where the value of the disposition-code/is-mandatory option is set to true, agents are no longer required to respecify a disposition code prior to sending a reply to an inbound e-mail interaction, if the agent set a disposition code before replying. Previously, agents had to specify a disposition code before they could reply to an e-mail interaction, then they had to specify the disposition code a second time to be able to send the reply. (ER# 217491617)


Agent: Two new radio buttons have been added to the outgoing e-mail interaction interface that enables agents to create a new contact or to associate a new e-mail address with an existing contact. (ER# 217112023)

The new buttons are displayed dynamically if an agent modifies the To: address field of an outgoing e-mail that is already associated with an existing contact but the new address does not correspond with a known address of the contact. The new buttons have the following functionality:

See also, the following Known Issue: ER# 219090291.


Agent: A date format error in rescheduled records has been corrected for Genesys Desktop servers that have certain regional settings applied — for example, Lithuanian. (ER# 215937413)


Agent: Two new options have been added to Genesys Desktop that enable a feature that automatically marks outbound interactions as Done if an agent clicks Cancel or Reject. This capability had been removed in the previous Genesys Desktop release. (ER# 215410056)

Section: outbound
Option Name: auto-mark-done-on-cancel
Default Value: false
Valid Values: Changes Take Effect: Immediately.
Section: outbound
Option Name: auto-mark-done-on-reject
Default Value: false
Valid Values: Changes Take Effect: Immediately.

Agent: The following Style section options are now available for all text input fields, as stated in Genesys Desktop 7.6 Deployment Guide: text-size,text-color-disable, and text-color-enable. Previously, these options were available only for the e-mail interaction interface. (ER# 215204041)


Agent: Agents working with an Alcatel A4400/OXE switch/T-Server in substitute mode can now transfer calls. Previously, a voice DN would go out of service if the agent attempted to transfer a call to another agent. (ER# 213145838)


Agent: For e-mail interactions, the Date field of attached e-mails is now correctly populated. (ER# 212793135)


Agent: Resizing the Contact Information pane inside the voice interaction interface no longer partially covers the voice interaction pane. (ER# 212270581)


Agent: Multimedia Chat transcripts are now correctly stored in the Contact History. Previously, not all Multimedia Chat transcripts were stored in the Contact History. (ER# 211945799)


Agent: Genesys Desktop no longer modifies the start_date parameter in the Universal Contact Server (UCS) database. Previously, when an interaction was handled by an agent, Genesys Desktop changed the start_date parameter to the date and time when the agent began to handle the interaction rather than the date and time that the interaction arrived at the contact center. (ER# 211945774)


Agent: Resource use has been improved to better manage a large number of pending interactions. (ER# 211423355)


Agent: The Transfer Reason is now correctly saved in the Notepad when inbound e-mails are transferred to external resources. Previously, when an e-mail was transferred to an external resource, the Transfer Reason was not recorded in the Notepad and it was not copied to the the Universal Contact Server (UCS) database. (ER# 210877650)


Agent: The Agent Desktop no longer modifies the interaction.timeshift parameter in the Universal Contact Server (UCS) database during Multimedia Chat interactions. (ER# 210075783)


Agent: Genesys Desktop now correctly handles faxes in the TIFF format. Previously, TIFF files were not supported. (ER# 210074421)


Agent: For Push Preview interactions, the Connect button is always enabled on the interaction pane. Previously, it was enabled after the associated phone call was released when the record was changed. (ER# 208116811)


Agent: Interactions are now correctly saved in the Universal Contact Server (UCS) database if the phone set is disconnected from an Alcatel A4400/OXE Switch. (ER# 207928342)


Agent: If a contact enters extended-ASCII characters (codes 128 through 255) in an Instant Message (IM) session prior to an agent joining the IM session, the extended-ASCII characters no longer become corrupted; they are correctly displayed to the agent when she or he joins the session. The behavior has also been corrected for an IM session that contains extended-ASCII characters when it is added to a conference or is transferred to another agent. (ER# 206778369)


Agent: An error where font size 10 was not available for selection during the creation of e-mails has been corrected. (ER# 203057162)


Agent: Agent login now functions correctly. Previously, some DNs may have appeared to be out of service when they were in service. (ER# 199001492)


Agent: An intermittent problem where the Not Ready - After Call Work item was not displayed in the Ready/Not Ready drop-down list has been fixed. (ER# 195741962)


Agent: The Chain Record button is now properly enabled when Outbound Contact Server (OCS) is running a campaign in Progressive mode. (ER# 188685857)


Agent: The storage and display of messages from the server has been modified to ensure that the agent receives all messages. Previously, some messages were not delivered to the agent if actions were canceled or if two actions were made simultaneously. (ER# 187719635)


Agent: In the Multimedia Chat interface, you can now use Shift+Enter to move the cursor to the next line (inserting a soft return) in your current message entry. Previously, Ctrl+Enter was used. (ER# 159440101)


Supervisor Corrections and Modifications


Supervisor: The SIP Monitoring menu is now enabled and disabled correctly. Previously, the menu failed to function correctly under the following two scenarios: the monitored agent logged out and logged in, and if multiple agents were selected for monitoring. (ER# 216973143, 120697547)


Supervisor: Newly created Supervisors can now see all objects to which they have access. Previously, a newly created Supervisor could not see any objects in the Supervisor Desktop. (ER# 214474011)


Supervisor: You can now assign or remove Skills for multiple agents using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. Previously, it was only possible to assign or remove Skills for one agent at a time. (ER# 213245061)


Supervisor: A ConcurrentModificationException no longer occurs at agent login after the agent access group was changed in the Configuration Layer. (ER# 211974023)


Supervisor: The Find and Filter dialog boxes are now displayed correctly. Previously, a 500 error might have occurred in some scenarios. (ER# 211835481)


Supervisor: The Find and Filter dialog boxes now load faster for environments with a large number of potential targets. (ER# 211045411)


Supervisor: Routing Points in Routing Point Groups are now displayed correctly. Previously, they were not visible. (ER# 208879631)


Supervisor: In configurations with LCS, the Switch to Barge In and the Switch to Silent Monitoring functions now appear in the Monitoring menu. (ER# 207543719)


Supervisor: You can now use the parentheses (round bracket) characters in agent Skill names: "(" and ")". Previously, if an agent Skill name contained one or more parentheses characters an error occurred when you tried to save the agent Properties. (ER# 207395771)


Supervisor: You can now assign/remove agents from a group in an All Agents view in the Detail pane or the Assign/Remove from group in List pane if the name of an agent group contains any of the following characters:

"," (comma)
"'" (single quote)
"/" (forward slash)
"\" (back slash)
"<" (less than)
">" (greater than)

(ER# 183774341)


Supervisor: For Solaris users running WebSphere 5.1.1 in environments with a large quantity of data, the Supervisor view is no longer slow to update if the supervisor is creating or deleting a large number of agents, such as 100 to 300 at a time. (ER# 183467041)

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This section describes new features that were introduced in the initial 7.6.1 release of Genesys Desktop.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications that were made between Release 7.6 or earlier releases and the initial 7.6.1 release:


General Corrections and Modifications


IBM WebSphere 6.0 users can now log in correctly to Genesys Desktop. Previously, incorrect login information might have been passed to some versions of WebSphere 6.0, making login impossible. (ER# 184789337)


Genesys Desktop prevents you from logging in before application initialization is complete. Previously, data and code corruption resulted from login before application initialization was complete. (ER# 183531837)


Customizations that use the interceptor to write agent status in an audit database can now rely on a correct sequence of events: first SESSION_STOP, then SERVER_STOP. (ER# 179812286)


Setting the value of the ack-mode option in the security-banner section to 1, the default value, now works as described in the Genesys Desktop 7.6 Deployment Guide, versions 7.6.101.00 and higher. (ER# 178569231)


Agent Corrections and Modifications


Agent: For users with the Cisco Call Manager switch, Genesys Desktop now properly identifies the contact of outgoing phone calls and associates the call with that contact in Universal Contact Server (UCS). Previously, in some scenarios, Genesys Desktop might have failed to identify the contact, resulting in some outgoing calls being associated with the Unknown contact. (ER# 198847245)


Agent: The Mute button now functions correctly for SIP voice calls. (ER# 198810112)


Agent: Genesys Desktop now uses fewer system resources to manage agent statistics. Previously, one thread was used per agent, potentially resulting in high virtual memory usage. (ER# 195057993)


Agent: Agents now see custom data related to a new custom field that was added to a new campaign as soon as the campaign is loaded. Previously, to see the new custom data, the Agent had to restart the Agent Desktop. (ER# 195020721)


Agent: When the auto-answer option is set to true for SIP voice calls, the current call takes precedence. If the Agent receives a call while engaged in another call, the new call is no longer answered automatically; instead, the Agent is notified of the new call and is given the option to answer it or not. Previously, a new internal call would cause the current call to be put on hold without warning to the Agent and Genesys Desktop would automatically open the new call. (ER# 194866764)


Agent: For inbound e-mail, when the agent is searching for an external resource transfer target, the display name of the external resource is now correctly displayed. Previously, the e-mail address of external resources were displayed in the transfer target list. (ER# 192130472)


Agent: Custom Data entries are now displayed correctly if the name of the associated Business Attribute value contains a hyphen. Previously, the Custom Data entry was not displayed. (ER# 190719751)


Agent: You can now use the default-font-style option to change the font of the Signature. Previously, only the default font was applied to the Signature. (ER# 187122659)


Agent: The security banner is now displayed for the Administrative Tool. (ER# 185900023, 164096548)


Agent: In Outbound campaigns, the From and Till fields are now initialized to valid values when the Agent adds a new chained record. Previously, if Outbound Campaign Server (OCS) did not provide valid times, both fields were initialized to 00:00. (ER# 185721262)


Agent: The body of a new Outbound e-mail is no longer removed if the Agent enters an invalid e-mail address in the To field. Previously, the body of the e-mail was removed when the Action Failed message was displayed. (ER# 180924765)


Agent: When an Agent updates contact record data in a Push Preview interaction from Outbound Contact Server (OCS), Genesys Desktop now notifies Interaction Server of the change to the interaction data, which enables Statistics Server to see the change. Therefore, you can now use statistics to filter interactions based on the changed data. (ER# 168596876)


Agent: The Genesys Agent Desktop SIP Endpoint no longer goes out of service if the Agent attempts to dial a number that contains a blank space in the middle or at the end. Blank spaces are now trimmed at the time of the make call request. (ER# 179518716)


Agent: If you log out of Genesys Desktop while Stat Server is down, the Disconnection in progress window now closes automatically. (ER# 177014474)


Agent: The updating of contact information has been optimized to improve the refresh time of the display. (ER# 176268942)


Agent: Push Preview records that are transferred from one agent to another and then rejected by the target agent no longer lose their classification as outbound Push Preview interactions. Previously, they were changed to inbound open media interactions. (ER# 174996051)


Agent: Reply text is now displayed in Print Preview as the agent enters it, whether the html-format option is set to true or false. Previously, if the html-format option was set to false the Print Preview of outbound e-mail interactions did not display any reply text entered by the agent. (ER# 174290408)


Agent: In environments with a Symposium switch, the status of an agent no longer changes if an internal call is received while the status is Not Ready with a reason code. Previously, the reason code was removed from the Not Ready status, if the Agent received interactions from an internal extension. (ER# 168291361)


Agent: Scheduled callback workitems are now identified to Push Preview agents by a warning message in the status bar. Previously, agents were not informed of the status of the interaction. (ER# 159440280)


Agent: Genesys Desktop now supports Firefox 2. Previously, with Firefox 1.x, if the option voice\active-interaction-mode was set to true, the agent might have seen the following warning intermittently: Unresponsive Script. (ER# 155155332)


Supervisor Corrections and Modifications


Supervisor: When a Supervisor terminates a large number of interactions, Genesys Desktop no longer experiences an unexpected error. Previously, an unexpected error would occur and the Supervisor had to close and restart Genesys Supervisor Desktop. (ER# 198810056)


Supervisor: The Filter windows now display correctly. Previously, some of the buttons would not be displayed when the Supervisor restricted a search. (ER# 191614344)


Supervisor: Genesys Desktop now supports Skill names that contain spaces. Previously, a supervisor could not assign a Skill to an agent if the Skill name contained a space character. (ER# 184587991)


Supervisor: It is now possible to delete more than one skill at a time from the Details pane of the All Agents view. Previously, to delete more than one Skill, a Supervisor had to remove skills one at a time in the Detail section, remove the skills using the Actions menu, or remove the skills from the Skills view. (ER# 183531849)


Supervisor: Genesys Supervisor Desktop is now more thread-safe in several scenarios. Previously, if there was a large number of resource objects such as persons, places, and thresholds in the environment, conflicts for resources among multiple instances of Genesys Supervisor Desktop could lead to long response times and/or high CPU usage. (ER# 180788751)


Supervisor: Previously, when the View Profile was updated, the ConfigEvent did not end correctly. This may have resulted in high CPU usage. This issue has been resolved. (ER# 178087870)


Supervisor: Genesys Desktop now correctly releases memory when monitoring sessions are ended. (ER# 178087861)


Supervisor: Internet Explorer (IE) users no longer experience high CPU usage by IE for 30 to 60 seconds when adding between 10 and 20 agents to an empty agent group through the Configuration Layer. (ER# 177177177)


Supervisor: In Internet Explorer 7.0, High CPU usage no longer occurs if you move a large number of agents in the Assign Skill wizard. (ER# 176714121)


Supervisor: The correct list of Routing Points is now displayed when you try to select Routing Points from a specified set of Routing Point objects. (ER# 176180491)


Supervisor: It is now possible to assign or remove a skill from the Detail view if the skill name contains consecutive space characters or a space character at the beginning. Previously, this action could be done only from the Action menu in the List view. (ER# 175734250)


Supervisor: The availability of SIP Monitoring menu items is now displayed correctly when several supervisors concurrently set SIP Monitoring sessions with different monitoring scopes (for example: agent or call for SIP) or types (such as SIP or chat). Previously, if the SIP Monitoring menu items were available after a SIP monitoring session was established, and you attempted to establish it again, an erroneous message was displayed stating that the SIP monitoring session failed to be established. (ER# 120697828)

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


Agent: Contact Attributes defined with the metadata contact/read-only-attributes are now correctly displayed. (ER# 190925129)


In all scenarios, Agent and Supervisor licenses are now successfully checked-in. Previously, after certain login errors, the license could not be checked in. (ER# 190091226)


Agent login now functions correctly. Previously, if an agent login failed, successive agents experienced a browser freeze after they clicked Next in their login windows. (ER# 188680093)


Supervisor: Supervisors with extended supervisor capabilities can now refresh permissions without restarting Genesys Desktop by selecting Refresh Permissions from the Settings menu under the Supervisor menu. Previously, if agent access rights permissions were changed recursively, Genesys Supervisor Desktop would not take the changes into effect until Genesys Desktop was restarted. (ER# 182515968)

If you click on Refresh Permissions the whole permissions cache is refreshed. This is a resource intensive function that might lead to temporary performance degradation; however, the benefit is that it is no longer necessary to restart the Genesys Desktop server.

Note: Only perform this function after recursively configuring agent access rights permissions.

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This section describes new features that were introduced in the initial 7.6 release of Genesys Desktop.

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications that were made between Release 7.5 or earlier releases and the initial 7.6 release:


General Corrections and Modifications


Target DNs are now properly unregistered after a multi-step, multi-target transfer or a failed login attempt. Previously, Genesys Desktop Server retained some DN registrations, which resulted in given interactions existing on multiple instances of Genesys Desktop. (ER# 167358703)


Log files that are generated at start up, before Genesys Desktop connects to Configuration Server, are no longer automatically compressed (zipped) when they are full. (ER# 148182562)


Agents, whose Person objects in the Configuration Layer have a section defined on their Annex tab which has no options in it, can now log in without you having to delete that empty section. Previously, the user's screen would blink during login and the agent would be prevented from logging in. (ER# 126951353)


An agent logged in as a SIP user, using Genesys Desktop SIP Endpoint, no longer sees the following message in the status bar when the SIP endpoint is still functioning correctly: Genesys Desktop SIP Endpoint is not responding. Restart the application. Previously, this message may have been displayed in error, and it was actually not necessary to restart SIP Endpoint. (ER# 105502760)


Daylight savings times are now correctly calculated and stored in the Universal Contact Server database dedicated field. Previously, UTC time was entered instead of Daylight Savings Time. (ER# 163881891)


Agent Corrections and Modifications


Agent: Warning messages are now displayed in the status bar if there is a problem due to a third-party web application corrupting a Genesys Desktop cookie. (ER# 119784785)


Agent: The option intercommunication\trsf-voice-target is now taken into account for transferring voice calls. Previously, the option intercommunication\conference-voice-target was always taken into account for both voice transfers and voice conferences. (ER# 161188081)


Agent: During Outbound Push Preview, agents no longer experience a voice interaction pane opening after the Connect button is clicked on the Outbound Push Preview interaction pane. (ER# 162251645)


Agent: Reply e-mails now contain all the attributes of the incoming e-mail interaction. Previously, some attributes, such as ServiceType and CustomerSegment, were not always included in the reply e-mail. (ER# 167619281)


Agent: The plus sign (+) is now supported as a valid initial character in extensions. (ER# 152484874)


Agent: Only configured Calling List Fields are now displayed in the Custom Fields tab for an Outbound interaction. (ER# 156493030)


Agent: It is no longer possible to transfer an interaction to an agent who no longer exists in the Configuration Layer. Previously, the Agent list was not updated dynamically if you removed an agent from the Configuration Layer. (ER#  121890431)


Agent: You can now close a Chat session and logout following a restart of the Universal Contact Server (UCS) or following a switchover between the primary and backup UCS. Previously, the agent session remained in the pending state, and it was impossible to close the Chat interaction and logout. (ER# 119334967)


Agent: The CurrentAgentState statistic now loads properly. Previously, an error occurred when Genesys Desktop attempted to load this statistic. (ER# 162560063)


Agent: *.docx attachments that are empty are now correctly handled. Previously, if the file was opened it would contain incorrect information. (ER# 147277216)


Agent: E-Mail address text is no longer lost if you enter an invalid e-mail address into the To field of a new Outbound e-mail or Outbound reply e-mail. Previously, after you tried to send the e-mail, all the text that you entered into the To field would be removed after you acknowledged the error message. (ER# 145996256)


Agent: The file contact/contact-print.jsp is no longer used; it has been removed from the Genesys Desktop installation. Previously, the presence of this file caused an error if you tried to precompile your files for IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS). (ER# 132773321)


Agent: New queues and workbins created while Genesys Desktop is running are now properly displayed in the Genesys Desktop interface. Previously, they were not visible until after a restart of the server. (ER# 122750781)


Agent: On Dharma systems, Genesys Desktop now supports a Hold request when an agent handles a consult call with another agent. (ER# 109048681)


Agent: For the Avaya switch and Cisco Call Manager, the Genesys Desktop interface displays both the Initiate Transfer and the Complete Transfer buttons in situations where both these actions are possible. Previously, the agent could merge two independent calls by inadvertently clicking Complete Transfer while attempting to initiate a transfer on the second call. (ER# 122741650)


Agent: An agent can now successfully transfer an interaction that had already experienced an earlier transfer on the same Genesys Desktop server instance. (ER# 160935769)


Agent: Inbound e-mails are now automatically marked Done in the following scenario: the e-mail is transferred; the target agent does not take any action; the e-mail returns to the first agent; the first agent replies to the inbound e-mail. Previously, the first agent had to manually mark the inbound e-mail as Done. (ER# 170192518)


Agent: Genesys Desktop appends the numbers (DTMF) typed by the agent onto the contact phone number in the edit box at the top of the voice interaction pane. Previously, DTMF entered by the agent using the number keypad would appear briefly in the contact phone number edit box, then disappear, leaving only the phone number. (ER# 104478095)


Agent: The Auto Suggest tab is now automatically displayed when a reply to a reply e-mail interaction pane is opened. (ER# 168454787)


Agent: Genesys Desktop now assigns the correct value to the GSW_TZ_NAME parameter in an AddRecord request for OCS. The time zone value of the currently active record of the agent is used. (ER# 73170737)


Agent: The F5 key is now disabled in the inbound e-mail Transfer pane. However, the Alt + Left Arrow keys are not disabled anywhere (see ER# 76550 in the Known Issues section below).


Supervisor Corrections and Modifications


Supervisor: Performance has been enhanced for assignment of skills to large numbers of agents. (ER# 169514913)


Supervisor: Performance has been enhanced for users viewing interactions in Internet Explorer. (ER# 169161621)


Supervisor: You can now control whether or not Quick Dashboard icons are removed automatically if the object becomes non-applicable. Icons may become non-applicable if the objects to which they point, such as agents, are removed from the Configuration Layer, or the path to the object is changed. Use the hide-icons option in the supervisor section to specify whether or not non-applicable icons are removed automatically. A question mark is added to non-applicable icons that remain in the Quick Dashboard. Previously, non-applicable icons were sometimes removed automatically without notification. (ER# 168192011)


Supervisor: You can no longer remove the default view profile. Previously, during migration from Genesys Desktop 7.2 to 7.5 or later, two default view profiles could be created in certain scenarios. They have the same name, but different IDs. One was the real default profile and the other was a copy. If the real profile was deleted, then a supervisor that was accessing the default profile may have gotten the copy instead. (ER# 149646405)


Supervisor: Interaction views now display each interaction on a single line unless you enable word wrapping. Previously, interaction views would sometimes switch to word-wrapped view, causing fewer interactions to be visible on each page view. (ER# 147280568)


Supervisor: There is no longer a limit on the number of space characters that can appear in drop-down lists, up to the limit of the number of allowed characters in the field. Previously, only one space character was permitted. (ER# 147280564)

Also, you can now assign skills that contain space characters in the name. Previously, this was not possible. However, it is still not possible to assign or remove a skill from the Detail view if the skill name contains consecutive space characters or a space character at the beginning of the skill name (see ER# 175734250 in the Known Issues section below).


Supervisor: Agents without supervisor privileges can no longer open wizards. Previously, non-supervisor agents had access to certain wizards through hot key controls. (ER# 147280556)


Supervisor: An exception on the Supervisor draft e-mail list has been corrected. (ER# 160148179)


Supervisor: An error no longer occurs if you specify the SMTP Server host name using the Server Settings dialog box and the specified host is unavailable. Previously, an error dialog box incorrectly stated that the host was not found. (ER# 135372390)


Supervisor: Some alarms and statistics are no longer temporarily unavailable after Genesys Supervisor Desktop is restarted. Previously, a ConcurrentModificationException exception occurred while Genesys Supervisor Desktop was subscribing to statistics. (ER# 135372387)


Supervisor: For DN groups in a virtual queue, the content of the Name and DN number drop-down lists for the Basic Criteria Find and the Basic Criteria Filter dialog boxes is now displayed correctly. (ER# 135350805)


Supervisor: On WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 5.1.1.13, if you assign or remove agents using the Actions menu, a URL decode error no longer occurs . (ER# 134071567)


Supervisor: The Search for (AND/OR) drop-down list is now available in the Advanced Criteria Find and the Advanced Criteria Filter dialog boxes. Previously, the drop-down list was unavailable if only a single advanced criteria item was added to the criteria list. (ER# 134071561)


Supervisor: The name of the security section is no longer case sensitive. Previously, an exception would occur during the initiation of a Chat monitoring session if the security section name was specified with an initial capital S. (ER# 141233837)


Supervisor: Performing a basic filter by age of interaction now returns the correct results. Previously, an empty list would be returned. (ER# 123076952)


Supervisor: If the DB Server for Interaction Server becomes disconnected, a message is now displayed in the status bar. Previously, lists of interactions would be empty, but there was no indication that the reason was that DB Server was disconnected. (ER# 122948661)


Supervisor: The following Genesys Desktop 7.5 options have been renamed for this release:

Option in 7.5 Is Renamed in 7.6
timeInStateRange time-in-state-range
agentReasonsRange    agent-reasons-range
statDelay stat-delay
loadScriptDelay load-script-delay

(ER# 122711691)


Supervisor: The sorting of the agent list by Agent Status is now correct if the agent list has more than one slice. (ER# 122112701)


Supervisor: Existing alarms on an agent or agent group are now removed after the assigned threshold is deleted. (ER# 121637242)


Supervisor: Alarm icons are no longer removed from agents in an agent group view if other agents are removed from the agent group list. (ER# 121615957)


Supervisor: To enable a supervisor to create new agents you must assign the value 2 or 10 to the SupervisorExtended option in the Security section of the Annex tab of the supervisor's Person object. Previously, a supervisor with rights set as SupervisorExtended=1 was given the ability to create new agents if that supervisor was assigned as a member of a group that has full control rights over tenants and persons, such as tenant administrators. (ER# 121602354)


Supervisor: If you delete the Annex\Personalization section for a tenant in the Configuration Layer, values previously stored in this section are now shown as empty or absent in the Supervisor Desktop. (ER# 121464442)


Supervisor: A security issue regarding supervisor access to settings wizards has been corrected. (ER# 121632500)


Supervisor: The flexible interaction property AbandonedAt can now be edited using the standard workflow:

  1. Select an interaction from the Interactions list and then select the following menu item: Actions>Selected>Edit attached data. The Edit Attached Data dialog box is displayed.
  2. Change the value of the AbandonedAt property.
  3. Click OK.

A message box warning you that the request has failed is no longer displayed. (ER# 102264801)


Supervisor: The following environment conditions no longer result in the Supervisor being visible to the customer in a Chat session:

In this case, Agent B has Supervisor-level access (visibility) to the interaction. This results in all messages from Agent B being invisible to the customer.

Note: This issue also no longer occurs if the interaction happens to be resubmitted to Agent A.

(ER# 95646524)

Known Issues and Recommendations

This section provides the latest information on known issues and recommendations associated with this product.


Documentation Known Issues and Recommendations


Recommendation: To ensure consistency in your environment, the values of the following configuration options in the voice section, which provide control over the acceptable characters and format of phone numbers for outgoing calls, should be coordinated:

The phone-number-expression configuration option in the default section is also used for this purpose. (GD-8787)


Recommendation: The following modifications are recommended for a deployment that uses only the Tomcat HTTP connector. This recommendation is now described in Genesys Desktop 7.6 Deployment Guide version 7.6.401.00 and later.

Genesys Desktop is a Web application that runs as a stand-alone container inside the Tomcat Web servlet engine. If you do not want to use an HTTP server in front, Genesys recommends that you make the following configurations of Tomcat in the <installation path>/conf/server.xml file:

Note: The Genesys Desktop application uses a minimum of one thread per connected agent, and a mean of 1.5 threads. A safe value for maxThreads is double the maximum number of connected agents.


In the Genesys Desktop 7.6 Deployment Guide, Appendix A, in the intercommunications section, the valid values for the conference-chat-target option are not correct. Only the value agent is supported. The following values are not supported by this option: interaction-queue, agent-group, skill, "". (ER# 323554531)

Found In Document Version: 7.6.301.00 Fixed In Document Version: 

In the Genesys Desktop 7.6 Deployment Guide, the workbin option is not fully described. (ER# 285735233)

The following content should be added:

Custom columns from Interaction Server can be created for personal and group Workbins to enable you to display information that is not available in the standard Genesys solution.

To configure a custom column, create an attribute value in the InteractionCustomProperties business attribute. In this attribute value, add the following annex: translation\translate-to=<column name>. Add the corresponding column to the Interaction Server database interactions table.

To display a custom column, configure the workbin\default option in either the agent annex or the application annex with the list and order of column names to be displayed, including the name of the attached data key for the custom column. The name of the attached data is used for the column name. The default value for the default option is sender-recipient,subject,date. This option also enables you to change the column order and remove columns that you do not want displayed by omitting them from the list.

The type of values supported by this feature are String and Integer. By default this section is used also to display Custom Data. If you do not want Custom Data displayed, use the new Specifies the business attributes used to display Custom data feature to select another business attribute.

For example, the option value could be: sender-recipient,subject,date,Owner Agent In this case, a custom column is added that displays information that is stored in the Owner Agent attached data.

You can also specify the columns to be displayed for a specific Workbin by creating the workbin\<workbin-name> option in either the agent annex or the application annex with the list and order of column names to be displayed.

For example, you can create two different sets of columns, one for the "agent-group" workbin and one for others:

workbin\default=sender-recipient,subject,date
workbin\agent-group=sender-recipient,subject,date,Owner Agent

In this example, only the agent-group Workbin displays a custom column (Owner Agent).

Microsoft has reported that the memory leak occurs in Internet Explorer 6 when working with JScript rich applications such as Genesys Desktop. More information can be found in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 929874: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929874

To avoid any issue with Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP ensure that you employ at least Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer MS07-033: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933566

To avoid any issue with Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2003 ensure that you employ at least Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer MS08-010: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944533

Workaround: Agents should periodically log out from Genesys Desktop and then log in again. This will close the Internet Explorer instance and create a new one, resetting the consumed memory. The interval that you should wait before you should log in again depends on your environment, such as the installed physical memory, and the number of interactions that the agent has handled.
