Known Issues and Recommendations

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

To avoid a blank Genesys Agent Scripting tab when the tab is resized to minimum, use Interaction Workspace version 8.1.400.24 or higher. (ER# 317204627)

For multimedia interactions, Interaction Workspace Plug-in for Genesys Agent Scripting integration is limited according to GAS-1024 (documented in the Genesys Agent Scripting 8.1.x Release Note).

To enable support of multimedia (chat and email) and Outbound Push Preview campaigns:

1. Enable media with the following Interaction Workspace application option (introduced in 8.1.200.18):

   Section: interaction-workspace
   Option Name: agent-scripting.media-enabled
   Default Value: voice,preview
   Valid Values: voice,chat,email,preview,pushPreview
   Changes take effect: When the application is started or restarted.
   Description: Specifies whether agent scripting needs to be activated for specific media. Outbound interactions in Progressive and Predictive modes will be treated as voice. An empty value hides Genesys Agent Scripting for all media.

2. Configure the following option in the Interaction Workspace application with value IE9 and higher:
   
   Section: interaction-workspace
   Option Name: agent-scripting.browser-emulation-version
   Default Value: empty (preserve current GAS plug-in behavior)
   Valid Values: IE9,IE10,IE11
