   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.



From 2.5.23

It is possible to completely or partially hide the telephone number and other personal information (email, name) of the Customers from the Agent view in all contexts in which they are normally displayed (e.g. Contacts Manager, Scheduled Calls, Abandoned Calls, Recordings, Bull, etc.).

On this page:

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:



Login with Security Suite enabled

If the Security Suite is enabled and this is the first time you log in the Motion environment, first of all you will be asked to change your password:

The new password must be different from the old one and must contain at least 8 characters and have at least 1 lowercase character, one uppercase character, one numeric character and one of the following special characters ~!@#$%^&-_=+[{]}.


The new password will last 90 days: after that it must be changed again.

You will be informed at login, starting from 15 days before password expiration:




License Expiration Notification at Login

If you are notified your license is going to expire (this feature is available at login starting from rel. 2.5.6):

please contact your system Administrator ASAP!



What to do when you forget your password

  • click on 
  • Enter the e-mail address associated to the login name

 

you will receive a link via email. Click on this link and change the password (This link expires in one hour: if you cannot use it you should start a new reset procedure).

This function works only if SMTP service is set properly.

If the Security Suite is enabled, the new password must respect the following security rules: it must contain least 8 characters and have at least 1 lowercase character, one uppercase character, one numeric character and one of the following special characters ~!@#$%^&-_=+[{]}.




About Incorrect logins


Note: when this happens, the agent is asked to contact the administrator to unlock the account.





Socket Disconnection for Network Problems

If you encounter a network problem during your XCALLY Motion work session, you will be warned by this error message:

It will disappear when the connection is reestablished.

Forced Logout feature 

Starting from XCALLY Motion rel. 2.5.0, External and WebRTC Agents can be forced to logout if another Agent logs in the system using the same credentials.

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

If the second Agent confirms to log in, the previously logged Agent is forced to abandon the working session:



If the Agent Typology has been defined by the Administrator as External (e.g. the Agent cannot use the Phonebar or the WebRTC Call Functions) and in an Hot Desk context, the Agent at login time will be able to chose which one of the available registered Telephones to use in the working session (click on the down arrow to see the complete list):






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 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 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.   



The WebRTC Bar

You can find the WebRTC Bar documentation on this page.




The Internal Messenger



The Internal Messenger can be used to chat with other Agents or Supervisors logged to the same Motion Server.

It's very simple and intuitive, let's see how to use it:




The Internal Messenger use can be disabled by the Administrator for specific Agents.

If an Agent is not enabled to send/receive messages using the IM, his/her name in the list is followed by a specific ban sign:

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:


  • Dashboard
  • Agents' Presence
  • Contacts
  • My Contacts
  • Scheduled Calls
  • Voice Calls
  • Abandoned Calls
  • Recordings
  • Chat
  • Email
  • SMS
  • Open Channels
  • Fax
  • WhatsApp Connector (optional channel)


To go back Home, just click on  



About the Program List in the Sidebar

If the Admin disables one or more applications for the Agent, these will not be shown on the Agent Omni Channel Desktop sidebar, like in the following example, where the Admin disabled the Agent's Menu the entries: Agents Presence, Scheduled Calls, Voice Calls, Abandoned Calls, Recordings, Chat, Open Channel.

In this case the Toolbar reflects the settings dynamically:










Note: Any change applied to the Agent toolbar will not affect new applications eventually released after that action: in this case, if the Administrator wants to make the Agents use the new modules, these must be selected in the Agent profile.


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.
  • Waiting Queue Interactions panel shows real-time information about waiting calls in the queues the agent is logged into.

 


The Dashboards are available for each Channel:


Click on the channel name in order to see the specific dashboard.



Agents Presence

In the Agents Presence section, you find two tabs:

  • the AGENTS tab that shows who is available to receive a voice call or to take a voice call transfer
  • the QUEUES tab that shows the list of the queues that can receive a voice call or to take a voice call transfer 

Agents

In this tab, for each Agent of your system you view:

  • name
  • internal extension
  • status (online, offline, pause, busy)


When you enter this view the list is empty: to show results set a query or narrow the search using the selectors you find at the top right (search by queue or by team).


In the example above, you searched for agents whose name contains the letters "whit" and once you find that the agent is able to receive, you can:

  • call the Agent directly clicking the button 
  • transfer a call you're currently managing to the Agent clicking the button  (blind transfer)


You can call or transfer a call only to agents whose status is online or pause. The latter only works if the "do not disturb" option is not checked.


You can also use the selectors at the top right and search by Team:

or by Queue members:

Remember to refresh the list from time to time .


If you use both, remember that Team and Queue filters are in OR (returns agents who are in team or queue). The general filter instead is in AND with the result set by the search for Team or Queue


Queues

In this tab, for each queue of your system the name and number of calls (on hold + active) are displayed:

You can use the search field to narrow the results, like in the above example.



This feature is available starting from Version 2.5.21: to make this menu item available for agents that have been generated with previous versions, ask your administrator to enable visibility by acting on agent permissions.

Contacts

In the Contacts section, the agent is able to see the list of contacts (according to the list permission set by the administrator).

The Select a List (among those you have the permission to view) and Select Tag filters you find on the top right side can be used to filter the list of contacts by these keys, like in the following example:


The contacts can be searched by: 

  • first name
  • last name
  • phone
  • mobile
  • fax
  • email

Click the  button, insert the search string and confirm:


and the list of the contacts matching the search string will be shown. When you want to go back to the full list of contact view again, click on .


If the Search on Enter Key in the Settings-General-OmniDesktop Interface is activated by the Administrator, the request starts only after pressing Enter. If not, the request starts only after having entered at least 5 characters or after pressing Enter (available from Rel. 2.5.11).



Click  to refresh the list view.


Click-to-Dial the Contacts in the list

The phone numbers are shown in light blue: they can be dialed just clicking on them.

Please note that:

  • If the Agent is using the Phonebar, clicking on the number will open a dialog window in order to call it 
  • If the Agent is using the WebRTC Bar, clicking on the number will open a dialog window in order to transfer an active call to that number or to call it



THE ADVANCED SEARCH FEATURE IS AVAILABLE STARTING FROM XCALLY MOTION VER. 2.4.14

You can also use the Advanced Search button  and select a field to be matched among a list of all those available. When you click this button (you find it on the right side of the toolbar), the system will show you the following form:

 

  • Select the Field (scroll the list of all the available search fields)
  • Select the Operator among those available (eg.: equals, contains, starts with, and so on)
  • Select or insert the Value
  • Add the Condition (click on )

To add more conditions repeat the operation, like in the following example:

and choose whether the conditions must all be met:

or at least one of them:

If you want to delete the advanced search condition inserted click on the single search condition button to delete it or click on the  button in order to delete them all at once.

At the end click on the  button in order to start the search. Now the query is executed and all the items that match the conditions inserted are shown.


It is also possible to:

  • modify a condition set: click on a set condition, press Edit

and now change the condition as you prefer(field, operator, value)

  • temporarily disable the search condition: click on the set condition, press Disable

and Enable it again



When a selection is active

As long as the search conditions are operational, the Advanced Search button will notify it by reversing its color (red on a white background) and blinking 

Note:

The Advanced Search conditions will search all the List of the available entries, regardless of any filter applied to the list view using the above mentioned filters: 



From the contacts panel, it's possible to edit a contact, merge contacts or duplicate a contact.


When the Agent receives a call or any other interaction from an unknown subject (the system checks that the entry is not already in the CM, searching for the telephone number, the e-mail address, or any other information provided)  the New Contact is automatically added in the Contact Manager.

This automatic mechanism works only if a specific CM Trigger has been configured by the Administrator.

The contact is added in the List configured by the System Administrator specifically for that "entry point" (e.g. a website chat, a call received on a queue, an e-mail sent to an account, and so on).

The Agent can modify this entry, adding more details in the Contact Card that is opened during the interaction.



Only users with admin role or user role with Contact Manager list permission are able to add an agent to a list.













If you associate many tags to a Contact, the tag label becomes grey instead than colored















Custom Fields shows the available custom fields associated to the selected list.




























































Note that an agent can create a contact only in the lists he is allowed to

Add a Contact

If you want to add a new contact, click  and insert contact's information:

and the List where the contact must be inserted:

and now you can Add the Contact.


You can only add new contacts to lists where you have permissions to do so (if you don't have permissions for any list, you won't have this feature enabled).




Edit/Modify

To edit and modify a contact, find the contact from the contacts lists and click on Edit. The contact detail will be shown in a new tab.

When you edit the contact, you can see two tabs:


In the Detail tab you can modify any field as needed and then save :








In the Customer Journey tab, you can see all the interactions between this Contact and the organization, like in the following example:

  • You can click on Show Details to see more information about the interaction (like: agent name, created at, tags, etc) or click on to edit it.
  • You can select the interactions by channel and by date/period using the filters on top of the list:

By default, the system will show the interactions elapsed within the current month and the previous three months. 

For example, if we consider today as June 11th, the system will show results from March 1st to June 30th. 

  • Hover over the Agent icon to see his/her name (unmanaged interactions will have no agent icon associated).


Merge

Find the contact from the contacts lists and click on the button available when you edit a contact. 


On the pop-up screen, use the filter to search the contact you want to merge with. Note that the filter will search the contact by first name, last name, email and phone.



From the results, click on the contact you want to merge with and then click OK to confirm.


Copy

Find the contact from the contacts lists and click on Copy button available when you edit a contact. 


On the pop-up screen, select the list you want to add the copy of the contact and click on Add Contact to duplicate the contact in the selected list.








Of course, the edit function will be available for all interactions except the phone calls:

but the Show Details allows to see useful information about the call as well (e.g.: start date, duration, called and caller number, etc).


Each interaction can be opened clicking on (but this feature is available only for those Agents with proper permissions on the specific item) or inspected clicking on 

My Contacts

The My Contacts section contains the list of Contacts managed by the agent: e.g. if an agent edits a contact from the Contacts section, it will be considered as "managed by the agent" and the contact will also be available (as a personal copy) under this Section:



In My Contacts section, the list filter on the left panel shows all the lists available in Contact Manager Lists section.

Keep in mind that in this context the agent cannot see all contacts in the lists but rather only the contacts that have been managed by the agent himself.

From the My Contacts panel, the agent can:

  • Create contacts
  • Search Contacts 
  • Edit contacts
  • Merge contacts
  • Duplicate a contact

the same as in the Contacts environment (see the Contacts paragraph for the complete set of functions).

Anyway, in every interaction type you'll find the following action icons: 

    • click on  and the menu will be shown, like in the following example:

    • click on  in order to download the current interaction. For Chat Channel, Email Channel and Open Channel, if the Agent has been given permission, interactions' attachments can also be downloaded. 


In the following chapters you can find the documentation about all the Channels available on XCALLY Motion Omni Desktop Interface.




Chat

 The Chat Channel Section shows all the interactions managed by the Agents and coming from a Chat on a Website.

The Customer and the Agent can exchange chat messages (including files, emoticons, pictures and so on) and have the following benefits:

    • the Customer can use an easy chat contact point (a snippet on a web page)
    • the Agent interaction happens inside the XCALLY Motion common environment
    • the Agent can manage several types of interactions at the same time
    • the Agent can start a Vidaoo Video Call session (this feature is optional and requires an activation from the Administrator) with a Customer directly from the chat
    • the interaction content is shared, easily retrieved and managed
    • all the Customers information is stored in the Contacts Manager 





If your Agent Desktop is

    • running on MAC with OS High Sierra
    • using the Browser Safari

remember to enable the audio notifications in Safari in order to receive an audio alert for all incoming interactions


Whenever customers interact with the Contact Center using a chat contact point in a website, the Agents belonging to the specific chat channel queue will receive a request on the Omni Desktop interface.

They can reject it and the request is passed to another Agent in the same queue (in this case ChatQueue)



The interaction starts when one agent accepts it: all the others will be notified that the interaction has already been taken by somebody else.


The number of concurrent chat sessions that can be managed by all the Agents is according to the sessions license limit of your system.


Let's see how a typical chat session looks like: 



Starting a pause during a chat session

If the Agent pauses during a chat session, this action prevents any further interaction notification to be displayed to him but the chat in progress will not be automatically stopped: the live chat messages will still arrive to him, unless the interaction is intentionally closed (in this way, any new message belonging to the same session will be routed to the first free agent and the chat session is reopened)




Customer's side

Agent's side

the customer starts a chat session on a web page, writing a request in a snippet:


after accepting the notify of the incoming chat request, a new chat tab is opened:



Both Agent and Customer can use emoticons and attach files during conversation (the latter can do it only if the Administrator enables this function for this specific website chat).

You can attach  only a single file per message, whose size is up to 25 MB maximum.


Moreover, the Agent can type messages directly:

or click on the Canned Answers button  (see at the bottom of this page how to use them).


On the Agent's side, anytime a message is sent:

    • a double checkmark means that the message has been delivered to the chat website
    • a single checkmark means that the system encountered a problem (e.g. the web site page has been closed or things like that).

How to insert an internal note

The Agents can insert an Internal Note in the interaction:

    • Click on the icon
    • Write the note and save it:

From now on the note is shown in the interaction, but it's only internal to the organization and the customer will never see it:


Also the Supervisor can spy a Chat interaction from the Interactions List and insert notes for the the agent only (the customer will not see this note):

       



If the interaction tab is open but the Agent is working on something else, a red badge  appears on the tab, any time a new chat is received regarding the same interaction (where the number shown is the number of unread messages).


From Chat to Vidaoo

During the Chat conversation, the Agent can start a Vidaoo Video Call session (this command is available in the menu  only if the Administrator has configured the Video option for the Website the interaction is coming from) with a Customer directly from the chat.

Click on Start Video Call and a separate video session is activated (the number of available sessions set for your Account on Vidaoo must not be exceeded):



and the Vidaoo web link to click to join the video call is shown to the Agent (in the interaction form):


and to the Customer (on the snippet):


During the video call the chat interaction can continue, left to be resumed at the end of the video call or be closed by the agent.



If the customer closes the interaction, it will be closed also on the agent's side.

If the Agent closes the session clicking on the  sign in the session tab:

 

and confirm:


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

 


Dispositions available in the list must be created by the Administrator in advance and can be single or multi-level (up to three levels).

If on closing an interaction is disposed by an Agent, you can see in the Status column of the Interactions List:

the name of the disposition applied:

Now, hovering over it with the mouse all the information on the disposition itself will be displayed:

so you can discover that in the above example a single level disposition has been applied.


If, on closing, the Agent chooses a multi-level disposition instead, the name of the disposition that is positioned at the lowest level of the set (second or third level) available will be shown, as in the following example:

Now, hovering over it with the mouse all the information on the disposition set will be displayed:


NOTE: The Administrator/User can set the disposition as Mandatory: in this case the Agent is requested to dispose the interaction when closing and until this operation is finished the agent will remain paused. See the Chat Website Advanced setting for further information about this feature. 


If the Transfer option is set by the administrator in the Website Settings, the Agent can also see this command in the menu  in order to redirect the chat interaction:

to another queue or to another agent (among the online and not in pause status agents):

and the system will let you choose among those available:




On the right side of the screen there is contextual information the agent can use (during the session or after it) to manage the interaction/customer:

The interactions in the list can be:

    • Open 
    • Closed (by an Agent)

    • temporarily disable the search condition: click on the set condition and press Disable:

and enable it again



When a selection is active

As long as the search conditions are operational, the Advanced Search button will notify it by reversing its color (light green on a white background) and blinking 



The Advanced Search conditions will search all the List of the available entries, regardless of any filter applied to the list view using the above mentioned filters: 





Email

The Email Channel Section shows all the interactions managed by the Agents and coming from external Email Systems. 

The Email Channel allows you to define the Email Accounts that the Agents, belonging to specific Email Queues, will share and use to send and receive Email messages in the standard XCALLY Motion Omni Desktop Interface.

The XCALLY Motion Email Channel provides some ready-to-use interfaces towards mailing systems (like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail and so on) but the System Administrator can very easily configure new ones (see here). 

The Customer and the Agent can exchange email messages (including files, emoticons, pictures and so on), reaping the following benefits:

    • the Customer can use market standard email 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 


XCALLY Motion Email Channel service needs to be connected to the IMAP service of the mailing system: as soon as a new email message arrives, the IMAP server notifies XCALLY Motion which manages it providing a standard interface for all types of mailing systems.



Whenever customers interact with the Contact Center using an email system, the Agents belonging to the specific email channel queue will receive a request on the Omni Desktop interface.

They can reject it and the request is passed to another Agent in the same queue (in this case Sales). 

The interaction starts when one agent  accepts it: all the others will be notified that the interaction has already been taken by somebody else.


Let's see how a typical email session looks like: let's see how it works when the Agents receive an e-mail from a customer and need to manage it (e.g. replying with a message or forwarding it to somebody else, simply closing it, or other)


If your Agent Desktop is

    • running on MAC with OS High Sierra
    • using the Browser Safari

remember to enable the audio notifications in Safari in order to receive an audio alert for all incoming interactions

Customer's side

Agent's side

the customer sends an email message using an external system (in this example Gmail):

after accepting the notify of the incoming email request, a new email tab opens:



The Agents can use these buttons  in order to reply, reply to all and forward the message.  

Replying or forwarding a mail message can be suspended and the message can be saved by the Agent as a draft copy and opened and finished later by the same Agent who saved it. In this case:

    • if the icon  is grey, it means that there is no draft message saved for this interaction
    • if the icon  is red, it means that there is a draft message saved previously (using the  button) and linked to this interaction. If you click on this button the draft will be reopened


The Message (with or without its attachments) or only the message Attachments (if there are any) can also be downloaded clicking respectively on the last two buttons: 


The Agent can also set the email as unread (if this function has been enabled by the administrator), clicking on and than on Mark as unread:

If the Agent replies or forwards it, the new-message form shows like the following:


The Agent can attach one or more files (each one must not exceed 25 MB size) clicking on the attach button .


the Show original message switch (default=off) at the bottom of the panel allows the Agent to see the full list of messages exchanged in the same interaction


If the Transfer option is set by the administrator as possible, the Agent can also see this command in the menu in order to redirect the email message:

to another queue or to another agent (among the online and not in pause status agents):

and the system will let you choose among those available (in the picture the list of all the queues):



The Agent can type the answer or use the canned answers to reply to the message, choose the mail format, attach files and Send it clicking on the button 

It is also possible to click on the down arrow of the Send button and choose one of the following options:

    • Send as and choose a Substatus (e.g. Pending or one of those made available by the Supervisor)


About Open Substatus

Pending (or any other customized sub-status of an open message) is set by the Agent in order to highlight a message: this status is automatically removed anytime the email has been replied by the customer


    • Send and Close


The Agent can also decide to suspend composing a message (a new one or one as Reply/Forward to a received message) and to continue later, clicking on the button : doing this, the message is temporarily saved as its draft is linked to this interaction.


About the message draft

Please note that:

    • each interaction allows only one draft message at a time to be saved. You can write as many messages you like but as soon as you try to save a draft, if there is already one for the same interaction, you will be notified that if you continue the old draft will be replaced by the new one;
    • when you compose a message you can save it as a draft as soon as the interaction is open: if the interaction has been closed since when you saved the draft (for example, by another agent) your draft will be deleted;
    • only the Agent that has saved a message as draft can see it, but some limitations apply:
      • the agent must access to the e-mail environment from the same browser used before

      • on the Agent workstation no local storage cancellation must be performed (otherwise all drafts will be deleted)


All the messages that have been saved by the Agent will be shown minimized in boxes at the bottom of the Mail Interactions List:

They can be deleted by the Agent clicking on the  near the name of the draft.


In order to reopen a draft message and to continue composing and eventually sending it, just click on the box of the minimized draft you see at the bottom of the email interactions list  or open the interaction itself and click on the red sign . When you open a draft message, the whole interaction will be opened as well.


The name of the draft message is shown as: "ACCOUNT KEY - TO"  or "ACCOUNT KEY -SUBJECT", in case the To field is empty. In case the fields To and Subject are both empty, the message is shown as "ACCOUNT KEY - Untitled". In the examples above, the Account Key is SERV for both drafts, followed by the destination address (for the first one) and the subject (for the second one). 






To send a New Email Message, just click on the button  you find in the right side of the Email Interactions List header, choose from the the proposed list one of the email Account you are configured to use and compose the message:

The operation is the same as described above (in the example of how to reply to a customer's e-mail).



Remember that anytime you open a message, the full list of messages exchanged in the same interaction (thread) will be shown.




If the Agent is a CC or a BCC recipient, the message will display a notification like the following in the message header:



How to insert an internal note

The Agents can insert an Internal Note in the interaction thread:

    • Click on the sign:
    • Write the note (eventually adding an attachment) in the pop-up and save it:

    • From now on the note is shown in the interaction, but it's only internal to the organization and the customer will never see it:


Also the Supervisor can spy an Email interaction from the Interactions List and insert notes for the the agent only (the customer will not see this note).




If the interaction tab is open but the Agent is working on something else, you'll see a red badge  any time you receive a new email 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 confirm:


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

 



Dispositions available in the list must be created by the Administrator in advance and can be single or multi-level (up to three).


If on closing an interaction is disposed by an Agent, you can see in the Status column of the Interactions List:

the name of the disposition applied:

Now, hovering over it with the mouse all the information on the disposition itself will be displayed:

so you can discover that in the above example a single level disposition has been applied.


If, on closing, the Agent chooses a multi-level disposition instead, the name of the disposition that is positioned at the lowest level of the set (second or third level) available will be shown, as in the following example:

Now, hovering over it with the mouse all the information on the disposition set will be displayed:


NOTE: The Administrator/User can set the disposition as Mandatory: in this case the Agent is requested to dispose the interaction when closing and until this operation is finished the agent will remain paused. See the Email Account Advanced setting for further information about this features.

Open Channel

The Open Channel Section shows all the interactions managed by the Agents and coming from external Channels ( remember that only the Administrator can open XCALLY Motion to new channels. If you are XCALLY Motion Administrator.

The Customer and the Agent can exchange messages (including files, emoticons, pictures and so on), reaping the following benefits:

    • the Customer can use a widespread and easy contact point (e.g. FB Messenger, Twitter, Telegram, Teams and so on)
    • the Agent interaction takes place inside XCALLY Motion common environment and as so, it benefits of the queue delivery mechanism
    • 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 customers interact with the Contact Center using external messaging systems, the Agents belonging to the specific open channel queue will receive a request on the Omni Desktop interface.


They can reject it and the request is automatically passed to another Agent in the same queue (in this case facebookqueue). 

The interaction starts when one agent accepts it: all the others will be notified that the interaction has already been taken by somebody else.


Let's see how a typical FB message exchange session looks like:

the name of the disposition applied:

Now, hovering over it with the mouse all the information on the disposition itself will be displayed:

so you can discover that in the above example a single level disposition has been applied.


If, on closing, the Agent chooses a multi-level disposition instead, the name of the disposition that is positioned at the lowest level of the set (second or third level) available will be shown, as in the following example:

Now, hovering over it with the mouse all the information on the disposition set will be displayed:


NOTE: The Administrator/User can set the disposition as Mandatory: in this case the Agent is requested to dispose the interaction when closing and until this operation is finished the agent will remain paused. See the OpenChannel Account Advanced setting for further information about this feature. 


If the Transfer option is set by the administrator in the Account Settings, the Agent can also see this command in the menu in order to redirect the Open Channel interaction:

to another queue or to another agent (among the online and not in pause status agents):

and the system will let you choose among those available:



On the right side of the screen there is contextual information the agent can use (during the session or after it) to manage the interaction/customer:

If you see a small number near the contact name, like in the following picture:

it means that new interactions have been received (but not managed) in the same conversation.


About Open Interactions:

When an interaction remains OPEN, the Agent can still send messages to the customer according to the channel regulations and policies: for example, Facebook allows the chat recipient to send messages to the chat initiator within 24 hours the session has been started; after that, only one message (tagged by a single checkmark) can be sent but, if nobody replies to you from the FB account, no more messages will be allowed



    • Clicking on the Interaction row, the agent is able to see all the messages exchanged in the single session, as well as the right side bar information (contact, interaction, journey).
    • Clicking on the three dots menu , the agent can apply the following commands to the selected interaction:
      • Show the interaction contents
      • Download a pdf transcript of the interaction, with or without attachments (depending on Agent's permissions)
      • Close and (eventually) dispose the interaction.

FAX

The Fax Channel Section shows all the interactions managed by the Agents and coming from Fax Channels.

The Fax Channel allows you to define the Fax Accounts associated to a Local Station Identifier (Fax Telephone Number) that the Agents, belonging to specific Fax Queues, can share and use to send and receive Faxes in the standard XCALLY Motion Omni Desktop Interface.


The Customer and the Agent can exchange faxes inside the XCALLY Motion Channels common environment, where:

    • the Agent can manage several types of interaction at the same time
    • the interaction content is shared, easily retrieved and managed
    • all the Customers information is stored in the Contacts Manager 


Whenever customers interact with the Contact Center sending a fax, the Agents belonging to the specific fax queue will receive a request on the Omni Desktop interface.


They can reject it and the request is passed to another Agent in the same queue.

The interaction starts when one agent accepts it: all the others will be notified that the interaction has already been taken by somebody else.


Let's see how a typical fax exchange session looks like:

If your Agent Desktop is

    • running on MAC with OS High Sierra
    • using the Browser Safari

remember to enable the audio notifications in Safari in order to receive an audio alert for all incoming interactions


The Agent can directly reply to a fax clicking on the button  and the compose fax form will show up:


The Agent can insert the fax text and eventually attach a document (one file per message, maximum size=25 MB) to the conversation and send it.


On the Agent's side, anytime a fax is sent:

    • a double checkmark means that the fax has been delivered
    • a single checkmark means that the fax is still processing and not yet sent.

If the fax sending encountered an error the system displays an error notification in red, like in the following example:


If the interaction tab is open but the Agent is working on something else, a red badge  will appear any time a new fax regarding the same interaction is received (where the number shown is the number of unread fax).


f the Agent closes the session, clicking on the  sign in the session tab:

 and confirm:


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

 


Dispositions available in the list must be created by the Administrator in advance and can be single or multi-level (up to three levels).


If on closing an interaction is disposed by an Agent, you can see in the Status column of the Interactions List:

the name of the disposition applied:

Now, hovering over it with the mouse all the information on the disposition itself will be displayed:

so you can discover that in the above example a single level disposition has been applied.


If, on closing, the Agent chooses a multi-level disposition instead, the name of the disposition that is positioned at the lowest level of the set (second or third level) available will be shown, as in the following example:

Now, hovering over it with the mouse all the information on the disposition set will be displayed:


NOTE: The Administrator/User can set the disposition as Mandatory: in this case the Agent is requested to dispose the interaction when closing and until this operation is finished the agent will remain paused. See the FAX Account Advanced setting for further information about this feature. 


If the Transfer option is set by the administrator in the Account Settings, the Agent can also see this command in the menu in order to redirect the FAX interaction:

to another queue or to another agent (among the online and not in pause status agents):

and the system will let you choose among those available:

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 


what to know

    • Currently the whatsapp connector can manage text messages (not the attachments).
    • A message exchange session with the customer can last up to 24 hours after receiving its last message: after this time the session will be automatically closed. 
    • The agent can start a conversation and forward new messages to the customers only if you have a template authorized by Facebook. 


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.

They can reject it and the request is passed to another Agent in the same queue (in this case WhatsAppConn1). 

The interaction starts when one agent accepts it: all the others will be notified that the interaction has already been taken by somebody else.


Let's see how a typical WhatsApp Connector session looks like:

If your Agent Desktop is

    • running on MAC with OS High Sierra
    • using the Browser Safari

remember to enable the audio notifications in Safari in order to receive an audio alert for all incoming interactions


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).


How to insert an internal note

The Agents can insert an Internal Note in the interaction:

    • Click on the icon 
    • Write the note and save it:

From now on the note is shown in the interaction, but it's only internal to the organization and the customer will never see it:


Also the Supervisor can spy an WhatsApp Connector interaction from the Interactions List and insert notes for the the agent only (the customer will not see this note):


On the Agent's side, anytime a message is sent:

    • a double checkmark means that the message has been delivered to the WhatsApp Connector recipient
    • a single checkmark means that the system encountered a problem

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:

or ready-to-use multi level dispositions:

Omni Desktop Quick Reference Guide

Here you find a Reference Guide of the most used functions of the OmniDesktop environment.


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 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.



If there are more contacts with the same search key, the agent can choose which is the right contact:



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.


If the Dispose button is not active after the call hangup you can refresh the call status clicking on 


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.

  • Schedule Date and Time at which the Contact will receive the call. 
  • Timezone of the Contact. If the field has been already filled in the Contact detail, you will see it here. 
  • System time: time at which the system will make the call, based on the timezone of the Contact.

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.

  • Schedule Date and Time at which the Contact will receive the call. 
  • Timezone of the Contact. If the field has been already filled in the Contact detail, you will see it here. 
  • System time: time at which the system will make the call, based on the timezone of the Contact.


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 additional phones have been added to the Contact, the Agent can choose which phone to call: 

 


If the Agent clicks on the Next icon, 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 responses will not be saved in the database if the tab is closed at any point in the script without clicking on Submit button.



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.


**Please refer to the Admin Channel Websites/Accounts Configuration documentation for further information about Local Canned Answers.

Local Canned Answers are available for all Channels entry points, except FAX Accounts.



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, set their names, descriptions and colors to make them become available to Agents:

Choose as many tags from the list and save them.


For example, once one or more tags are assigned to an interaction, the list can be filtered by them (Select tag):


in order to retrieve an homogeneous sample.


If you associate many tags to an interaction, the tag label becomes grey instead than colored


The tags chosen show up in interaction:

  



Take advantage of Customer Journey Information
