Who are the Users?
XCALLY Motion Users can be either Administrators or Supervisors: they belong to the same Staff category (Users) but they have a different role (Admin role versus User role).
Users with admin role can for instance:
Create, modify or delete User Profiles
Create, modify or delete users, agents and telephones
Create and update Cally Square projects
Create and update Custom Dashboards and enable other users to use them
Create and update lists in Contact Manager
Create and update campaigns in Motion Dialer
Perform software update
Have access to all features in XCALLY Motion
and many others.
Users with user role will be identified as belonging to a User Profile, which for instance may allow them to:
View, create, modify or delete agents and telephones (but they cannot manage other users)
View, create, modify or delete resources (like Queues, Accounts, Reports, and so on)
View, create and update Custom Dashboards
View, create and update XCALLY Square projects
View, create and update lists in Contact Manager
View, create and update campaigns in Motion Dialer
and many others.
The Users having this role (Supervisors) will for instance monitor a group of Customer Center Agents calls, chats, emails (or any other communication the Agent is participating in with Customers), ensuring the quality of them, and analyze the channels quantitative usage reports in order to track the volume of interactions per unit of time (day, week, month, etc). They can either coach their Agents in order to prevent customer complains and manage escalation rise, reaching service levels and objectives set forth by management.

which module can be managed by the User with User Role (only enabled modules will be visible in the User Desktop)
which channel queues can be explored by the User with User Role (only enabled queues will show on the User Desktop)
