What is the Motion Phonebar?

The Motion Phonebar is an always-on-top application used by the Customer Care Agents to mainly manage incoming and outgoing calls.

The Agents can access the functions set in their Profile, according to their skill levels or tasks in a teamwork: they will only receive and manage the calls landed on the queues the agents belong to and perform actions defined by the Administrator or Supervisor.

These configurations are associated to the single Agent credentials, so the application shows customized features with different log-in to the system: this is very useful in work environments that share positions, as usually Call Centers do.

In fact, some features are available only for enabled Agents by the Administrator or Supervisor. Please see the Settings section and the Agents configuration parameters.

Image Removed

Open the Phonebar application, using the Windows start menu or double-click on the Icon on your desktop:Image Removed
The login panel will appear: insert your host and Agent credentials. (If the Security Suite is enabled, at the first Login, the Agent is asked to set a new password).
Choose the language for your Phonebar interface (by default the language is the same as your desktop).
Click on the "Remember me" box to save your credentials (This feature must be enabled by the administrator).

Image Removed

Incorrect Login

Administrators can define what is the maximum number of incorrect login attempts that the system can allow: when the number of attempts allowed is reached, the account of whoever exceeds it is temporarily blocked. It can be unlocked:

1. manually by the Administrator (editing the blocked Agent account and clicking on the Unlock function of the Security Suite Section). When this happens, the Agent is asked to contact the administrator to unlock the account.
2. automatically, after a certain period of time in minutes (which must be specified by the Administrator in the Admin Settings→ Security Section).

TheAgent's login name must be unique: simultaneous login using the same credentials is forbidden.

If an Agent logs in using the same credentials of another the Agent who is currently logged, the system shows an alert:

Image Removed

If the second Agent confirms to log in the previous Agent is logged out automatically:

Image Removed

The agent's PC must have an audio device (microphone + speaker) properly installed in order to use the Motion Phonebar. Otherwise the following message will be displayed on the login popup:

Image Removed

If you see a Forbidden status

Image Removed after logging in the XCALLY Motion server, ask your Administrator to check your Agent Profile typology: this value must be "Phonebar" to make the communication with the server work!

If you are notified your license is going to expire, please contact your system Administrator ASAP!

Image Removed

Phonebar Update

Any time the Phonebar is run, the system checks if there is a new version available and automatically does the update.

This feature can be disabled by the Administrator: in this case the Agents can download the new version using the button Image Removed in the Setting Section.

Image Removed

The Agent can start a global pause using the Phonebar button: Image Removed

Automatic Call Recording

The Administrator can set an automatic recording feature to:

specific Agents (receiving a call)
Queues (all the calls received from that queue)
Outbound Routes (all the calls done on that specific route)

that will be activated whenever the call is taking place in one of these contexts.

Unlike a normal call display:

Clicking on this button the Agent can pause the recording:

Image Removed

Screen Recording

ScreenRecording is a function available when an Agent is using the Phonebar and is managing a voice call.

The Agents can record and save operation sequences performed on the desktop if the Administrator allows this function in the Agent Settings profile.

Image Removed

There are two types of Screen Recording:

Manual: the Agent uses the Phonebar to record video sequences of what happens on his/her desktop.

By clicking the Video Recording button Image Removed, the REC button becomes red Image Removed and blinks to display that the recording is going on: to stop recording the Agent can just click on the same icon (which turns grey again and stops blinking).

Image Removed

For the Agents configured to use this type of Screen Recording, the Supervisor can start and stop this function directly from the Agents Realtime environment (the Agents will be notified the screen recording is in use always from the icon changing color mechanism).

Automatic Screen Recording: the system starts recording a video sequence every time a voice call is received or placed by the Agent using the Phonebar (it stops automatically when the call ends). In this case the Agent has nothing to do to start or stop the video recording: the REC button will become red and blink Image Removedin order to display that the desktop activities are being recorded (the Video recording can never be stopped or started manually by the Agent).

The files generated using one of the Screen Recording functions mentioned above will be available on the Agent PC. By default they will be saved in:

Video/AgentId_AgentName/<year>/<month>/<day>/<filename> .

A path different from the Video directory (e.g. on a network drive) can be specified in the Settings --> General section by the Administrator.

Command Menu

📋 What’s about

The XCALLY Phonebar is an always-on-top application used by the Customer Care Agents to mainly manage incoming and outgoing calls.

Note
You can use XCALLY Phonebar only as Agents and not as Users

Agents can access the functions set in their Profile, according to their skill levels or tasks in teamwork.
They will only receive and manage the calls landed on the queues the agents belong to and perform actions defined by the Administrator or Supervisor.

These configurations are associated to the single Agent credentials, so the application shows customized features with different login to the system: this is very useful in work environments that share positions, as usually Call Centers do.

Some features are available only for enabled Agents by the Administrator or Supervisor. Please see the Settings section and the Agents configuration parameters.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Incorrect Login

Administrators can define what is the maximum number of incorrect login attempts that the system can allow: when the number of attempts allowed is reached, the account of whoever exceeds it is temporarily blocked. It can be unlocked:

manually by the Administrator (editing the blocked Agent account and clicking on the Unlock function of the Security Suite Section). When this happens, the Agent is asked to contact the administrator to unlock the account.
automatically, after a certain period of time in minutes (which must be specified by the Administrator in the Admin Settings→ Security Section).

TheAgent's login name must be unique: simultaneous login using the same credentials is forbidden.
If an Agent logs in using the same credentials of another the Agent who is currently logged, the system shows an alert:

If the second Agent confirms to log in, the previous Agent is logged out automatically:

The agent's PC must have an audio device (microphone + speaker) properly installed in order to use the XCALLY Phonebar. Otherwise, the following message will be displayed on the login popup:

If you see a Forbidden status

After logging in the XCALLY server, ask your Administrator to check your Agent Profile typology: this value must be XCALLY "Phonebar" to make the communication with the server work
If you are notified your license is going to expire, please contact your system Administrator ASAP!
