The Omni Desktop Interface enables your Customer Care Agents to manage the Multichannel Interactions i.e. Voice calls, Web Chat, Open Channels Interactions, E-mails, SMS, Fax and more.
Furthermore, the Agents can access to the Contacts (advanced address book), Internal Messaging, Real time Dashboards, Voice Calls List managed by the Agent him/herself (generic, scheduled and abandoned), Recordings
The full list of the available applications vary according to the permissions granted by the Administrator or the Supervisor to the Agent: all the Applications and Utilities that are not enabled for the Agent will not be shown in his/her sidebar Menu.
Starting the Omni Desktop
You can start the Omni Desktop interface in two ways, according if you're using:
- the Motion Phonebar: click on the button and your credentials (login name and password you used to log in the Phonebar) will be automatically passed to start the Omni Desktop
- External Phones, Soft Phones or WebRTC bar:
type https://YOUR-MOTION-IPADDRESS/login and enter the Agent Username and Password in the Login panel to access the integrated multi-channel environment:
Insert your Login Name and Password or click on Log in with Google if this feature has been enabled by your administrator (for more information click here):
After logging in, the XCALLY Motion Omni desktop window will be shown with the following header on top of it:
and using the buttons and commands in this section the Agent is able* to:
View the login timer | |
Pause (default pause) - Only for WebRTC and External Agents** | |
| Choose a custom Pause - Only for WebRTC and External Agents** |
See information about the pause time and Resume work session - Only for WebRTC and External Agents** | |
See Agent's avatar, login name and internal number. Click to change Password and to Logout | |
Autoanswer notifications | |
Run Preview Dialer Campaigns (see here how to use this function) | |
(see list) | Change the user interface national language |
Open Internal Messenger |
*The Administrator can disable some of these functions for the Agent.
**Login, Logout, pause/unpause
If the agent configuration (see Agents Account) done by the Administrator has the Typology field set as:
- External (Telephones or Soft Phones) or WebRTC (telephone bar as embedded function), then the agent will be able to login, logout, pause/unpause (for all the queues he/she belongs to) from the Omni Desktop Interface
Example Case 1: for External or WebRTC pauses can be set on the Agent Omni Desktop Interface:
Click on in order to select the right Pause description if you want to choose anyone different from the Default Pause.
- Phonebar, then any action (login, logout, pause/unpause) should start on the Phonebar and the Web Interface will reflect the changes accordingly.
Example Case 2: if the Agent sets a Pause on the Phonebar, his status on the Omni Desktop Interface is set to Pause as well:
The Agent can start or stop the Pause clicking on the respective buttons, but in some other contexts the pause can start:
- automatically, if there are some actions the Agent must do before proceeding (e.g. a Disposition is mandatory requested on the interaction just managed). In this case the pause will end as soon as the operation requested is finished
- at the request of a supervisor (e.g. on the Realtime monitor).
Auto Answer
If enabled by the Admin, the interactions are assigned to the Agent without him accepting the notification.
In this case, the Agent sees the icon on the header.
Clicking on it, a window with the channels enabled with the auto answer feature are shown, with the flag .
It is possible to see also the auto answer delay in seconds.
Clicking on the header button the Agent/Supervisor can access the Internal Messenger: and see all the available recipients (those with a green badge are currently logged and those with a red one are not): Use the Search (by name) or Select (by status: Online/Offline/All): and find your message recipient from the list: | After selecting a recipient, you can immediately start typing your message: When the recipient receives the message, a badge will appear on the Internal Messenger button: where the number shown on the badge refers to the the total number of messages unread: Just click on this button to open the Messenger. The message received is put on top of the list and you'll see a badge number to show how many unread messages you've received from that sender To reply, just type you message and send it. You can very easily exchange messages like in the following example, where the conversation takes place between an Agent and a User (Supervisor): |
The Administrator (Admin) or the Supervisor (User) can also configure Internal Messenger Groups to enable the Agents to exchange information among them.
Clicking on the header button the Agent/Supervisor can access the Internal Messenger GROUPS section:
and see the list of the Groups they belong to, like in the following example:
The Agent can exchange messages with all group members (if the group administrator has enabled this function. Eventually, the group administrator can decide to enable the Agent only to receive messages).
Let's see how the Agent can use it:
- the Agent receives a notification of the incoming Internal Group Message
- then clicks on the header button showing the number of unread messages on the blue badge
- now opens the GROUPS section and finds which group the unread message belongs to (there is a badge containing the number of unread messages in the group icon)
- and finally reads the message and replies to the group
The Omni Desktop Sections
The Omni Desktop Interface is a useful view to monitor and configure the everyday activities carried out by the agent.
On the left of the screen you find the sidebar, useful to run the XCALLY Motion programs and utilities and to check on current activities:
To go back Home, just click on |
Anytime an Agent starts a new activity, a new TAB is opened on the Omni Channel Desktop, like in the following example:
In these tabs you find the icon of the activity, a key (identifier for the specific service) and the sign to click for closing the tab:
- if the Agent closes the tab of a Contact file, the system reminds that any unsaved changes will be lost.
- if the Agent closes the tab of an Interaction, he can choose to set the interaction as:
- Closed
- Closed and Disposed
- Open (Mail interactions can also be set as Open-Pending, or any other customized sub-status)
The Agent can open as many tabs as needed and switch from one to the other (if many tabs are open, you can navigate among them using the scrollbar).
Dashboard
The dashboard contains real-time views that give the agent information about:
- Queues panel shows information about the list of voice queues and queue campaigns the agent is logged into.

The Scheduled At and the Campaign values are marked as green if they are still valid (data and time is not expired) and red if they are not.
The Agent can click on the three dots menu and:
- Edit the Hopper and change the schedule for this call:
It is possible to edit:

WhatsApp Connector
The WhatsApp Connector Channel Section shows all the interactions managed by the Agents and coming from WhatsApp users.
The WhatsApp Connector Channel allows you to define the WhatsApp Connector Accounts that the Agents, belonging to specific WhatsApp Connector Queues, will share and use to send and receive WhatsApp Connector messages in the standard XCALLY Motion Omni Desktop Interface.
The XCALLY Motion WhatsApp Connector Channel is based on Providers (e.g. Twilio) solutions, offering a WhatsApp for Business messaging system interface (N.B.: automated or bulk messaging are not allowed).
The Customer and the Agent can exchange WhatsApp messages, reaping the following benefits:
- the Customer can use one of the most popular messaging systems
- the Agent interaction happens inside the XCALLY Motion common environment
- the Agent can manage several types of interactions at the same time
- the interaction content is shared, easily retrieved and managed
- all the Customers information is stored in the Contacts Manager
Whenever the customers interact with the Contact Center using WhatsApp, all the Agents belonging to the specific WhatsApp Connector channel queue will receive a request on the Omni Desktop interface.
In order to reply to a WhatsApp message, the Agent can insert directly a text in the input box and press enter (or search a previously saved canned answer and send it).
If the interaction tab is open but the Agent is working on something else, you'll see a badge like this:
any time you receive a new message regarding the same interaction (where the number shown is the number of unread messages).
If the Agent closes the session clicking on the
sign in the session tab:and confirms:
The interaction can be simply Closed or Closed & Disposed, choosing one of the listed single level dispositions:
or ready-to-use multi level dispositions:
The same Close&Dispose action can be applied clicking on the
of the interaction and then on Close and dispose

Click to Call or to Interact with a Contact
You can just click on the contact name (in Contacts or My Contacts) in order to open the contact profile: click on the telephone icon
near the Phone or the Mobile field:- Choose Call and the call will start in your Phonebar (this requires the Phonebar to be already running) or in your WebRTC Bar
- Choose Transfer and the actual call is transferred to the selected contact number (this works only for Phonebar Agents)
The same feature is available on all the available Channels: the Agent can click on the Fax, Email, SMS icons in order to send a message to the contact through the chosen channel.
The
button near the Contact Name starts the Jscripty surveys.Only if you use the Phonebar: remember to enable the Remote Control setting for the Agent (see Motion PhoneBar Settings) to make this feature work!
Dispose calls
If you have properly configured a trigger with Contact Manager action, the contact tab will be displayed for the agent as shown below when the trigger conditions are true.
The information panel at the top of the page displays the Caller Name, Caller Number and Queue Name.
This timer shows the elapsed time since the contact tab was opened.
When the call ends, Dispose button and timer will appear on the information panel as shown below:
This timer shows the elapsed time since the call ended.
To dispose the call, click on and choose from the proposed list a single disposition:
or a set of dispositions (up to three levels), and eventually insert a note.
- Select this toggle if you want that after you click Dispose the customer card is automatically closed.
The Disposition is automatically set and saved the moment you select a disposition. Pay attention! you will not be able to change the disposition once it is saved.
The Agent can also dispose outbound calls managed by the the Motion Bull Dialer and choose among the following selection:
- Dispose
- Reschedule
- Recall Me
- Blacklist
*Blacklist, Recall me and Reschedule dispositions are available only for Dialer Outbound Queue Campaigns.
If the scheduled time is outside the queue campaign time interval, the contact will be called in the next valid time interval.
e.g. Let's consider that Queue campaign time interval is from 8:00-18:00 and the contact is rescheduled for 19:00. The contact will be called the following day within 8:00-18:00 when there is at least one available agents logged.
Reschedule
Reschedule the call: The contact will be recalled later and the call will be passed to the queue managing the campaign.
Motion Bull will automatically call the contact at the scheduled time if:
- the queue campaign is Active
- there are at least one available Agent
- the scheduled time is within the queue campaign time interval.
| |
Timezone feature example The system timezone is Europe/Rome (+01:00) and the Contact is set in the timezone America/Chicago (-06:00). Let's suppose that the scheduled time is 18:44 (Chicago time), the system will schedule to call the Contact at 00:44 (system/server/queue time), in order to call the Contact at the chosen time in his timezone. |
Recall me
The contact will be recalled later and the call will be passed to the Agent in charge or to the queue the agent belongs to, according to the specific queue campaign settings configured by the Administrator.
If enabled by the Admin, the Agent can also choose the Motion Bull- Queue Campaign to which the Recall me option will be associated.
| |
Timezone feature example The system timezone is Europe/Rome (+01:00) and the Contact is set in the timezone America/Chicago (-06:00). Let's suppose that the scheduled time is 16:54 (Chicago time), the system will schedule to call the Contact at 22:54 (system/server/queue time), in order to call the Contact at the chosen time in his timezone. |
Blacklist
- add the contact in all the blacklists associated to the queue campaign
Dial Contacts with Motion Bull Preview Campaigns
Preview means that the automatic dialer selects a customer from a call list and proposes this call to an agent (the "preview" phase): when the agent accepts it the dialer starts the call. The Agent will stay on the line during the progress of the call, until the customer answers or any other event happens (line busy, call unanswered, and so on) as in manual calls.
If the XCALLY Motion Bull Dialer is configured on the system, anytime a "Preview" Queue Campaign is running for the agent logged, a badge is shown on the in the Omni Desktop Interface Dialer icon
showing the number of calls that wait to be managed yet.
Clicking on this button the system will propose the first contact in the list to call:
If the Agent clicks on Next the call will be skipped for that particular agent and the dialer proposes the next contact to call in the list.
When the Agent clicks on Call, the call will be managed by the dialer and handled as a normal incoming call (on the Phonebar or on the WebRTC bar):
As a result, the number in the badge is decreased.
Usually more than one agent can run preview campaigns and the number in the badge reflects the total number of unmanaged calls.
Even if in Pause status, the WEBRTC Agent will be able to dial a contact with the preview mode, if the administrator sets to Ignore agent break status for preview calls as an Agent Setting (Staff → Agents).
Recall Me Calls
- Automate Recall Me calls (if the Campaign is Preview): If this feature is enabled by the Admin, the system will automatically generate the Recall Me calls (the Recall Me call is performed by the Booked Progressive strategy- as soon as the Agent is available, the system calls the Agent and then calls the contact).
If disabled, the Agent must select the contact manually from the list showed from the Motion Bull Preview button: the Recall Me contact will be distinguished from the other contacts by an info label.
- Recall Me Reminder (if the Campaign is Preview): If this feature is enabled by the Admin, the system will send a notification to the Agent n° minutes before generating the Recall Me call.
Run Jscripty scripts
If the Administrator has configured a trigger with Jscripty action, any time the the trigger conditions are met, the survey will start automatically and be displayed to the agent
:
timer shows the elapsed time since the Jscripty tab was opened.
button will start the script and the first page will be displayed for the agent as shown below
these buttons are used to move forward and backward in the script. Note that the Next button will be disabled until an answer is provided for questions with required field set.
this button is used to submit responses and end the script.
this button is used to restart the survey (this will cause the loss of all data previously collected)
The Jscripty surveys can also be activated clicking on this button near the Contact Name (in Contacts or My Contacts files).
Use Canned Answers
In several contexts the Canned Answers can be very useful, helping to increase productivity and maintain a good level of communication, because it may happen the Agents need to answer to very common and frequent questions asked by the Customers: in this case, if the responses are given writing some text messages (e.g. when using Email, Chat, Open Channel, SMS), instead of typing the same answers repeatedly, the Agents can use the available Global Canned Answers (created by the Administrator: see here) or Local Canned Answers available only for specific Channel Accounts/Websites**.
The Agent can type messages directly:
or click on the Canned Answers button :
and insert a text to make a list of canned answers matching that appear in a list:
General (marked by a small icon) and Local (specific for Website/Account and marked by the Channel type icon) Canned Answers are showed as a unique list: click on the chosen one and it will be copied in the message body text.
Use Tags
Tags can be used to categorize interactions (Chat, Email, SMS, etc.) or customer records (in Contacts/My Contacts).
The Administrator can create proper Tags (see how to define tags here), set their names, descriptions and colors to make them become available to Agents:
Choose as many tags from the list and save them.
The tags chosen show up in interaction:
