Manage desktop experience

Desktop experience allows manage configurations such as inactivity timeout and auto wrapup for the desktop.

Inactivity timeout, if enabled, lets you automatically sign out an agent from the desktop after being inactive for the specified time. Contact Center considers agents as inactive if they are not performing any activity on the Agent Desktop. Agent activity includes handling contacts, working on custom widgets, or performing any task on the Agent Desktop.

3

From the Contact Center navigation page, select Tenant settings > Desktop.

In Desktop experience, set the following:

  1. Toggle Inactivity timeout to enable or disable inactivity timeout feature.

    Inactivity timeout, if enabled, lets you automatically sign out an agent from the desktop after being inactive for the specified time.

  2. In the Inactive duration text box, enter the value in minutes to set the idle timeout. Enter any value 3–10,000 minutes in the text box. This limit works as a default limit for the inactivity duration unless Agent sets up a different limit in the Inactivity timeout option Agent Desktop.

    By default, the inactivity timeout duration is set at 5 mintues if the Inactivity timeout toggle is on.

  3. Set up Auto wrapup interval to wrapup a conversation automatically after an agent ends it.

    The following table shows the default value and the allowed range for the automatic wrap-up interval:

    Default Value (milliseconds)Minimum Value (milliseconds)Maximum Value (milliseconds)

    0

    60000 (1 minute)

    600000 (10 minutes)

    By default, the automatic wrapup value is 0 milliseconds, indicating that you have not configured the wrap-up time. The administrator must define the automatic wrap-up value.

Manage voice features for desktop

The contact center administrators can manage the voice channel feature settings for agents. There are three components of voice features that you can manage:

  • Enable Force Default DN: When you enable this feature, Contact Center restricts the agents to their provisioned default dial numbers (DNs) when they sign in to the Agent Desktop. Agents for who don't have a default DN is specified, can enter any DN. Consider this setting only if Agent DN Validation is not defined in an Desktop profile.

  • Enable End Call: When you enable this feature, the End button appears on the Interaction Control pane of the Agent Desktop. An agent can click the End button to end a voice call with a customer.

  • Enable End Consult: When you enable this feature, the End Consult button appears on the Consult Request dialog box of the Agent Desktop. An agent can click the End Consult button to end a consult call that was initiated with another agent, while the agent was on an active call with a customer.

To enable or disable voice channel features for agents:
