Stop Recording on Voice Call Transfer

From General settings, you can select this option if you want the recording to stop when a call is transferred (discover how transfer works on this page).

Open

• For outbound calls, the recording will be stopped if you switch on the option

• For inbound calls, stop recording on voice call transfer works in different ways, depending on whether the transfer is blind (when agent1 transfers the call to agent2 immediately) or attended (when agent1 calls before agent2 and then he transfers to them the call). In case of blind transfer the recording will always be stopped, in case of attended transfer depends on whether the transfer is internal or external.

The three dots menu at the right end of the line   shows the commands that can be applied to the selected recording:

When you have done a selection (of one, more than one or all the recordings), some new commands will appear on the right side of the header:

Voice recordings and permissions

Based on permissions set in the User Profile, Users can see Voice Recordings on these conditions:

• if the user has permission only on Voice Recordings, he can view the Voice Recordings section with an empty table

• if the user has permissions on Voice Recordings, Voice Queues and Queue Campaigns, he can view Voice Recordings belonging to assigned voice queues or queue campaigns (internal, inbound, dialer related to queues). So if the user has view of the queues but not the agents, he still views the recordings of the agents assigned to those queues

• if the user has permissions on Voice Recordings, Voice Queues, Queue Campaigns and Agents, he can view Voice Recordings belonging to assigned voice queues or queue campaigns and recordings of assigned agents (internal, inbound, dialer, outbound)

• if the user has permissions on Voice Recordings and Agents, he can view Voice Recordings belonging to assigned agents (internal, inbound, dialer, outbound). So if the user has a view of the agents but not of the queues, he still views the recordings of the agents even though they were made on the queues
