Getting Started with Cisco Desktop
Work Flow Administrator
Introduction
Cisco Desktop Work Flow Administrator comes with one license, so only one person can view and/or edit data in it at any one time. More than one instance of Desktop
Work Flow Administrator can be open concurrently.
If someone is using Desktop Work Flow Administrator when you try to access it, an error message appears that identifies the IP address of the other user’s computer.
For this reason, it is important that you close Desktop Work Flow Administrator completely when you are done using it. As long as the application is running, a license is being used and others are blocked from accessing it. Unlike Desktop Work Flow
Administrator, an administrator’s login in Desktop Administrator times out after 15 minutes of inactivity.
April 8, 2014 15
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
Starting Desktop Work Flow Administrator
To start Desktop Work Flow Administrator:
1. Click Start > Programs > Cisco > Desktop > Admin. Desktop Work Flow
Administrator starts.
2. Click the Call Center 1 node to expand the navigation tree. By default,
Desktop Work Flow Administrator is not password-protected and the tree will expand. If a password has been configured, you are asked to enter it now.
For more information about passwords, see "Passwords" on page 24 .
16 April 8, 2014
Modifying the Unified CCX Server IP Address
Modifying the Unified CCX Server IP Address
When Desktop Administrator is installed, it is configured to point to the Unified CCX server IP address. If that Unified CCX server IP address changes, you need to reconfigure Desktop Administrator so that it points to the new Unified CCX server IP address by launching CAD Configuration Setup from Desktop Work Flow Administrator or running PostInstall.exe.
To modify the Unified CCX server IP address:
1. Start CAD Configuration Setup.
■
■
In Desktop Work Flow Administrator, select the Call Center 1 node in the left pane and then choose Setup > Configure Systems from the menu bar.
On a PC having CAD desktop applications installed, navigate to the
C:\Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\bin folder and double-click
PostInstall.exe.
Configuration Setup starts and displays the Location of Unified CCX server(s) dialog box (
Figure 1. CAD Directory Services dialog box
April 8, 2014
2. Ensure that the correct primary (and optional secondary) Unified CCX server
IP address is configured. If the Unified CCX server IP address is incorrect, enter the correct IP address, and then click OK.
If you are running CAD Configuration Setup on a PC that hosts Desktop
Administrator and no other CAD desktop application, you will receive a message that this computer is configured to point to the Unified CCX server and no other CAD settings can be configured through CAD Configuration
Setup on this computer.
3. Click OK. Your computer now points to the Unified CCX server.
If you are making changes in CAD Configuration Setup from Desktop Work
Flow Administrator, choose File > Exit from the menu or click Close for changes to take effect.

Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
NOTE: If you have installed other CAD desktop applications (Cisco
Agent Desktop and Cisco Supervisor Desktop) on your PC, then the
CAD Configuration Setup window appears ( Figure 2
). Choose File >
Exit from the menu or click Close for changes to take effect.

Automated Updates
Automated Updates
Every time a client desktop application is launched, the software checks to see if there is an updated version available, or if there was a system configuration change that requires a Windows registry change. If either of these conditions exist, and the automatic updates are enabled in CAD Configuration Setup, the application automatically runs the update process. Automatic software update requires either administrative or elevated (system) privileges.
You can disable automatic updates in CAD desktop applications by clearing the
Automatic Updates check box on the CAD Configuration Setup page, in the Desktop
Administrator page. By default, automatic updates are enabled for CAD desktop applications.
IMPORTANT: If you disable automatic updates for CAD desktop applications, all the updates must be distributed and installed on all
CAD client applications manually when available. For more information on distributing and installing the software updates, see the
Cisco CAD Installation Guide
. If the CAD client applications are not of the same version as the CAD server, then the client applications might not be able to log in or function properly.
NOTE: For automated updates to function correctly, Internet Explorer must be configured so that it checks for newer versions of stored pages. In Internet Explorer, choose Tools > Internet Options and select the General tab. In the Browsing history section, click Settings and ensure that any option other than Never is selected.
NOTE: If your system is configured with two Unified CCX servers, and one server is upgraded while your instance of Desktop Work Flow
Administrator is connected to the older Unified CCX, and your system administrator performs a failover to switch all agents to the upgraded server, your instance of Desktop Work Flow Administrator will not automatically upgrade when you log into the new server. You must shut down Desktop Work Flow Administrator and start it again for the automatic upgrade to take place.
When an update is available, you will see a dialog box notifying you that your copy of
Desktop Work Flow Administrator will be updated. Click OK to proceed with the update.
A progress bar is displayed to show you the status of the download.
When the update is finished, you will see a final dialog box that tells you the update is complete, and which applications were updated. If you have other CAD desktop
April 8, 2014 19
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide applications (Cisco Agent Desktop and Cisco Supervisor Desktop) on your PC, they will all have been updated.
NOTE: Because Agent Desktop is automatically installed when
Supervisor Desktop is installed, only Supervisor Desktop will be listed as having been updated in the final dialog box. Agent Desktop will be listed only if Supervisor Desktop is not present on your PC.
NOTE: On a machine where both Supervisor Desktop and Desktop
Administrator are installed, if an automated update of one desktop application completes successfully but an automated update of the other desktop application fails to complete for any reason, then automated updates will no longer work. Refer to the
Cisco CAD
Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
When you click OK to close the dialog box, any CAD desktop application that had been running on your desktop restarts automatically.
Application Downgrades
CAD desktop applications can be downgraded to the earlier version when required. If a service downgrade occurs and automatic updates are enabled in CAD Configuration
Setup, the CAD desktop applications are automatically downgraded to the older version. The existing CAD applications do not have to be manually uninstalled to install the older version.

Importing and Exporting Phone Books
Importing and exporting phone books makes creating and maintaining large phone books (up to 3000 entries) easier than with the Phone Book Editor window. Phone books can be created and edited in any third-party application that accepts comma-separated value (CSV) files, such as a text editor or spreadsheet. Using the third-party application, you can edit exported phone books—make bulk changes (for example, changing an area code), and adding and deleting phone numbers. The updated file can then be imported into Desktop Administrator to replace the previous version.
NOTE: Phone books for double-byte languages must use UTF-8 character format in order for the double-byte characters to be imported successfully.
CSV File Format
The phone book CSV file contains the fields shown in Table 8

Reason Codes
Reason codes describe why an agent has changed to the Not Ready agent state or has logged out.
A maximum of 999 reason codes can be set up for CAD and CAD-BE. IP Phone Agent has a limit of 100 reason codes.
Global reason codes, which are available to all agents, are assigned using the Reason
Codes node under the Work Flow Configuration node. Work flow group reason codes, which are available only to agents in that specific work flow group, are assigned using
the Reason Codes node under the specific work flow group’s node ( Figure 18 ).
Figure 18. Global and work flow Reason Codes nodes
Global reason code node
Work flow reason code node
48
Reserved reason codes (identified by [Reserved List] after the description) are predefined in Directory Services and cannot be created or deleted.
There are also Unified CCX-generated reason codes that are entered when an agent is automatically put in the Not Ready or Logout state. For instance, when an agent receives a Non-ACD call, the agent is put into the Not Ready state by Unified CCX and the reason code “32761–Non-ACD Call” is entered.

ACD voice. The system issues this reason code when an agent is in the Ready state for both voice and e-mail, and then receives an ACD call and the e-mail state changes to the e-mail Not Ready state.
Not Ready Call ended. The system issues this reason code when an agent is moved to the Not Ready state after handling a Unified CCX call.
Not Ready Device in service (phone up). The system issues this reason code when the agent’s phone comes up after it has been through a Phone Down state.
Not Ready CallManager failover. The system issues this reason code when the Unified CM fails over and the agent is moved to the Not Ready state.
Not Ready Work timer expired. The system issues this reason code when an agent’s state is changed from Work to Not
Ready. This change occurs if the Work state for that agent’s Contact Service Queue (CSQ) is associated with an expired wrap-up time.
Not Ready Device out of service (phone down). The system issues this reason code if the agent’s phone crashes and that agent is placed in the unavailable state.
Not Ready Logon. The system issues this reason code when an agent logs in and is automatically placed in the Not
Ready state.
Not Ready Non-ICD call. The system issues this reason code when the agent is logged on to Agent Desktop or IP Phone
Agent and then receives a call that is not queued to the
ACD.
Not Ready Off hook. The system issues this reason code when the agent goes off the hook to place a call. If the agent remembered to do this task the corresponding agent-triggered reason code is displayed. If the agent did not remember to do this task, the system issues this reason code.

Logout
Force logout (close Agent Desktop). The system issues this reason code when an agent closes Agent Desktop without logging off.
Force login (agent relogin). The system issues this reason code when an agent is already logged in to one device (computer or phone) and then tries to relogin to a second device.
Not Ready and Logout reason codes are enabled or disabled on the work flow group level.
When creating reason codes, follow these guidelines:
■
Descriptions can consist of up to 40 alphanumeric characters. No punctuation or other characters are allowed.
■
■
No agent state can contain duplicate numbers and descriptions among its reason codes.
Reason code numbers can be any number from 0 to 999, excluding 22 and
33, which are predefined reserved reason codes. If you try to create a reason code using either of those numbers, CAD desktop applications will not function properly.
NOTE: While 0 is an allowed reason code number, it is strongly recommended that you do not use it. Using 0 as a reason code can result in control failures or missing agent state events in Unified CCX.
■
You cannot enable reason codes unless at least one user-defined reason code exists for Logout and one exists for Not Ready.
50 April 8, 2014
Reason Codes
NOTE: Agents must restart Agent Desktop, Agent Desktop–Browser
Edition, and IP Phone Agent to see any changes you make to reason codes.
NOTE: For Chinese, Japanese, and Korean localized sites, reason codes might not appear correctly in IP Phone Agent due to the phone limitations on multi-byte characters.

NOTE: The Remote Access feature is not available for CAD-BE.
Figure 33. Remote Access tab
User Interface
April 8, 2014
An IPC Receive Event occurs when a third-party application sends a message to Agent
Desktop over a UDP socket. These messages must adhere to a predefined XML schema (see examples below) and cannot exceed 4000 bytes.
Unlike work flow actions, IPC Receive Event actions do not require configuration or setup in Desktop Administrator. All attributes that IPC Receive Event actions require in order to execute are a part of the IPC Receive Event message content. All incoming IPC
Receive Event messages must adhere to a strict predefined XML schema. The required schemas are defined below.
When Agent Desktop receives an IPC Receive Event message, it does not send a reply back. IPC Receive Events are queued so no messages are lost.
77
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
By default, IPC Receive Events are disabled. The default port number is Port 58000.
NOTE: The Remote Access action provides for receiving an asynchronous event. Even if the event is solicited by an IPC Action request being sent out, the request might never be delivered, and there is no assurance that a response will arrive because of the nature of UDP.
Five actions are supported by the IPC Receive Event:
■
IPC Make Call Action (page 78)
■
IPC High Priority Chat Action (page 78)
■
■
■
IPC Agent Notification Action (page 79)
IPC Set Variable Action (page 80)
IPC Make Call Action
For the IPC Make Call action to be successful:
■
The agent must be in the Not Ready state
■
There can be no call appearance present in Agent Desktop
■
The Make Call dialog box must be closed (if it is open, the action will close it)

Voice Contact Work Flows
Voice Contact Work Flows
Voice contact work flows manage agent activity based on voice call events. Once a call is classified it is further filtered according to events, rules, and actions. Voice contact
work flows ( Figure 34 ) are available to Agent Desktop and CAD-BE agents.

For example, a voice contact work flow could be set up as follows:
1. A call comes into the contact center and is routed to an agent in the Ready state.
April 8, 2014 81
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
2. The Voice Contact Classification filter determines which work flow to select. It examines the inbound call’s enterprise data (original dialed number) and determines that it is a call for Product A technical support and thus meets the data conditions of Work Flow 1. The call is now subject to the second layer of filtering set up in Work Flow 1.
3. Work Flow 1 says that any ringing event on the Product A support line triggers an HTTP action. This action takes the customer-entered account information from the IVR (part of the call’s enterprise data) and pops a web page in Agent
Desktop’s or CAD-BE’s integrated browser that displays the customer’s account information to the agent.
4. The agent answers the phone call and is ready to assist the customer.
Creating a Voice Contact Work Flow
The general procedure for creating a voice contact work flow is as follows:
1. Set up a new voice contact classification filter: a. Select the type of call the work flow applies to—inbound, outbound, or all calls.
NOTE: An Outbound Dialer customer call can appear as inbound or outbound. Therefore, when creating an Outbound Dialer work flow, select all calls as your voice classification filter.
b. If required, further classify the call by specifying it must meet various data field conditions.
2. Set up the second level of filtering: a. Select the call or agent state event—Ringing, Answered, Work, or Dropped.
b. If required, set up one or more rules with data field conditions that the call must meet.
c. Set up one or more actions that will take place if the call or agent event meets the rules’ data field conditions.
3. Set up as many second level filters as needed for calls selected by the first level filter. You can set up rules and actions for each of the filtered call’s call or agent events.
NOTE: It is possible to set rules and conditions that are contradictory so that a work flow cannot function. Desktop Work Flow Administrator does not check a work flow’s logic and validity. If a work flow fails to operate as expected, make sure that the rules and conditions you set up are logically valid.

Voice Contact Work Flows
Setting Up a New Voice Contact Classification
When you select the Voice Contact Work Flow node in the navigation tree, the Voice
Contact Work Flow List window is displayed. This window shows all the existing voice contact work flows, and enables you to edit them or to set up new ones.
The Voice Contact Classification is the first level of filtering in a voice contact work flow.
To set up a new voice contact classification:
1. In the Voice Contact Work Flow List window, click Add. The New Work Flow
Name dialog box is displayed.
2. Enter a name for your new voice contact work flow, and then click OK. The Edit
Voice Contact Classification dialog box appears (
). Note that the work flow name you just created is shown in the dialog box.
Figure 35. Edit Voice Contact Classification dialog box
April 8, 2014
3. Set up the criteria for the first level filter in this dialog box. a. Select the type of call you want the filter to apply to from the drop-down list: inbound calls, outbound calls, or all calls.
NOTE: There is also the option to disable the work flow. You can select this option later on if and when you want to disable the work flow, but to keep the work flow on file for use at a later date.
b. Apply up to three data field conditions. Click Edit to display the Data Field
Condition dialog box. For information on setting up a data field condition, see
“Data Field Conditions” on page 85 .
83
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide c. Select if you want the filter to apply when ALL conditions are true, or if
ANY conditions are true.
4. Click OK to complete setting up the first level filter in the new voice contact work flow.
Setting Up a New Work Flow
After a new voice contact classification is created, Desktop Work Flow Administrator
takes you to the Voice Contact Work Flow window ( Figure 36
). In this window you set up the second level of filtering, consisting of events and rules, and the resulting actions for your new voice contact work flow.
Figure 36. Voice Contact Work Flow window
84
When an event occurs, the rules associated with the event are evaluated in the order they are listed in the Rules pane. When a rule is met, the actions associated with that rule are executed in the order they are listed in the Actions pane. Subsequent rules are not evaluated.
If no rules are met, the default rule governs, and all actions associated with the default rule are executed. Default rules cannot be changed or deleted.
April 8, 2014
April 8, 2014
Voice Contact Work Flows
The default action might be <no action>.
To set up a new work flow:
1. Select the event that triggers the work flow from the Event pane. The available events are:
— Ringing. The agent’s phone rings.
— Answered. The agent answers the phone.
— Dropped. The call is terminated.
— Work. The agent transitions to the Work agent state.
2. Under the Rules pane, click New to set up a new rule. The New Rule Name dialog box appears.
3. Enter the name of the new rule, and then click OK. The fields in the Current
Rule Conditions section of the window are enabled.
4. Add up to 3 data field conditions (see “Data Field Conditions” on page 85
for more information) and specify when the actions should be executed—when any one of the data field conditions is met, or when all of the data field conditions are met.
When a data field condition is established, the Enable Rule check box is automatically selected.
NOTE: You cannot use a route point phone number when configuring a rule for inbound ACD calls.
5. Under the Actions pane, click Add to choose one or more actions to run when the event occurs and the rules are met.
You can select an existing action, or create a new action. If the action you select cannot be associated with the event, you will receive an error message.
See “Actions” on page 96 for more information.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for as many events as desired.
7. When you are finished associating events with rules and actions, click Apply to save the new voice contact work flow.
Data Field Conditions
Data field conditions are criteria that a call’s selected enterprise data fields must meet in order for a voice contact classification or a work flow rule to be enforced.
You can configure up to 3 data field conditions for a voice contact classification filter and for a work flow rule. You specify if all the data field conditions must be met (an
AND statement) or if any of the data field conditions must be met (an OR statement).
85
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
To do this you use the Data Field Condition dialog box (for a voice contact classification) (
Figure 37 ) or the Current Rule Conditions section of the Voice Contact
Work Flow window (for a work flow rule).

— Is In the List. The data field is compared to the list you set up in the List pane to determine if it is in that list. Click Add to add an item to the list of strings. Strings are not case sensitive. You can use wild cards (* and ?) to
simplify your list. See “Wild Card Searches” on page 87
.
— Is Not in the List. The data field is compared to the list you set up in the
List pane to determine if it is not in that list. Click Add to add an item to the list of strings. Strings are not case sensitive. You can use wild cards (* and ?) to simplify your list. See
“Wild Card Searches” on page 87 .
— Length of Data. The length of the data field is between a minimum and maximum number of characters that you set.
4. Ensure that the Enable Condition check box is selected, and then click OK.
Wild Card Searches
You can use wild cards when entering strings in the data field conditions list pane.
This enables you to avoid having to enter many strings if the strings you want to list have common elements.
Wild card characters used are the asterisk (*) and the question mark (?).
An asterisk in a string replaces any quantity of characters, as long as the other characters in the string match. For instance, ABC* matches strings that begin with
ABC but end in any quantity of any characters.
A question mark in a string replaces any character, but the length of the string must be exactly as represented. For instance, ABC?? matches strings that begin with ABC and end in 2 other characters.
Double quotes around a string searches for the exact characters within the double quotes, including the wild card characters (*) and (?). For instance, “123*ABC” matches only the string 123*ABC, and does not allow the asterisk to act as a wild card.
Modifying a Voice Contact Work Flow
You can modify the default work flow and any custom work flows you create.
NOTE: The classification filter for the Default work flow is Inbound
Calls. This cannot be changed.
To modify a voice contact work flow:

E-Mail Contact Work Flows
The E-Mail Contact Work Flows node is used to enable/disable the E-Mail Review CSQ for members of the work flow group. When this setting is enabled and the agent responds to an e-mail from a CSQ associated with Review CSQ, then all the agent replies to customer e-mails are automatically routed to Review CSQ, instead of sending them directly back to the customer. Agents with skill assignment for Review
CSQ are responsible for reviewing and editing the content of the response before the e-mail reply is sent to the customer.
NOTE: To incorporate the review process into the e-mail handling process, you must configure both the work flow group in the Work
Flow Configuration node and the e-mail CSQ settings in Desktop
Administrator. For more information on Review CSQ and CSQ settings, see
“Configuring Contact Service Queue Settings” on page 205

Creating an Agent Management Work Flow
The general procedure for creating an agent management work flow is as follows:
1. Select the event that triggers the work flow.
2. If the event is time of day, set up a rule with one or more data conditions that the event must meet.
NOTE: It is possible to set rules and conditions that are contradictory so that a work flow cannot function. Desktop Administrator does not check a work flow’s logic and validity. If a work flow fails to operate as expected, make sure that the rules and conditions you set up are logically valid.
3. Set up one or more actions that will take place whenever the event occurs, or, if a time of day event, whenever the rule is met.
When you select the Agent Management Work Flow node, the Work Flow window appears (
).
Figure 40. Work Flow window

April 8, 2014
Agent Management Work Flows
Unlike rules in voice contact work flows, rules in agent management work flows can be applied only to a time of day event, not to all events.
Not all actions are available for agent management work flows. See
Availability” on page 97 for more information.
To set up a CAD activity or agent state work flow:
1. Select the event that triggers the work flow from the Event pane. The available events are:
— Startup. Agent Desktop/CAD-BE starts.
— Shutdown. Agent Desktop/CAD-BE closes.
— Ready. The agent transitions to the Ready state.
— Not Ready. The agent transitions to the Not Ready state.
2. Under the Actions pane, click Add to choose one or more actions to run when the selected event occurs. You can select an existing action, or create a new
action. See “Actions” on page 96 for more information.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for as many events as desired.
4. When you are finished associating events with actions, click Apply to save the agent management work flow.
To set up a time of day work flow:
1. Select the Time of day event from the Event pane.
2. Under the Rules pane, click New to set up a new rule. The New Rule Name dialog box appears.
93
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
3. Enter the name of the new rule, and then click OK. The fields in the Current
Rule Conditions section of the window are enabled, and the Time of Day
Condition dialog box appears (
).

Actions
Actions are stored independently of events and rules. You can use an action in more than one event, and you can assign actions to more than one task button in Agent
Desktop and CAD-BE.
While actions are processed, events are queued. It is generally a good idea to avoid long actions.
Table 12. Action types and descriptions
Action Type Description
Displays a custom message popup window on the agent’s desktop when a certain event occurs
Sets an agent state
Answers, drops, conferences, transfers, or makes a call, or inputs touch tones during a call

Actions
Call Control Action
Call Control actions include:
■
Answer. The Answer action answers an inbound call.
■
■
Blind conference. The Blind conference action conferences the active call with a predefined phone number.
Blind transfer. The Blind transfer action transfers the active call directly to a predefined phone number. The call is transferred to that number and the agent is no longer connected to the call.
The Blind Transfer call control action includes a configurable delay time, if one is needed. The Transfer Delay field is not enabled for any other call control action.
NOTE: Note: This is not a true blind transfer, in which a call is transferred without a consult. In this blind transfer, Unified CCX performs the consult and then the transfer is completed. The agent phone is an active member in the transfer until the transfer is completed.
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
Call. The Call action calls a predefined phone number.
Drop. The Drop action disconnects an active call.
Single-step conference. The Single-step conference action conferences the active call by specifying the number with which the agent wants to conference the call. The call is conferenced directly with the third party.
Single-step transfer. The Single-step transfer action transfers the active call by specifying the number to which the agent wants to transfer the call. The call is transferred directly to the third party and the agent is disconnected from the call.
Supervised conference. The Supervised conference action conferences the active call by specifying the number with which the agent wants to conference the call. The agent can either add the third party to the call without first speaking to him or her, or speak to the third party before actually completing the conference call. The agent can alternate between parties or complete the conference call.
Supervised transfer. The Supervised transfer action transfers the active call by specifying the number to which the agent wants to transfer the call. The agent can either hang up before the third party answers, or stay on the line and speak to the third party before actually transferring the call. The agent can switch between parties or complete the call transfer.
Touch tones. The Touch tones action enters numbers or symbols on the number pad during an active call.
April 8, 2014 107
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
These actions can be associated with an event, a rule, and a task button. For example, a task button could be configured to execute a call control action that blind transfers a call to the agent’s supervisor.
To set up a Call Control action:
1. Set up a new action. See
“Adding a New Action” on page 98 . The Select Action
window appears.
Select the Call Control tab, and then click New. The Call Control Action Setup dialog box appears (
).
Figure 52. Call Control Action Setup dialog box

■
■
A phone number if required by the type of action. For example, for Blind
Transfer, enter the phone number to which a call is transferred.
(For Blind Transfer only) a delay time, in milliseconds, if needed to enable the person to whom the call is transferred to answer the transferred call.
3. Click OK.
NOTE: A blind conference call control action must be used in conjunction with rules. If no rules are configured, then the blind conference action occurs every time the event it is associated with occurs. For example, if you set up a blind conference action on an answered event and do not configure rules, it executes on every answered call. To prevent this, you must set up rules that allow the action to occur only when desired, such as only on incoming calls from the route point.

Example of an HTTP Request
To illustrate how to create a basic HTTP request, we will write a request that uses the
Google search engine to search the web for “Cisco Systems.”
To learn what value names and values go into the Google search:
1. Open your web browser and navigate to www.google.com.
114 April 8, 2014
Actions
2. Type Cisco Systems in the search field and then click Google Search. The address bar shows the HTTP request we will create in Desktop Work Flow
Administrator(
).

Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
To create the HTTP request:
1. Complete the HTTP Actions Setup dialog box with the information you
gathered from the manual Google search ( Figure 57 ).
Figure 57. Google search information entered in the HTTP Action Setup dialog box
116
The values are all user-defined. The value name is on the left side of the equal sign, and the value is on the right side of the equal sign.
Note that Google inserted a plus sign (+) between the words Cisco and
Systems in the request string. You do not need to include that character in the
HTTP Request Data dialog box. Desktop Work Flow Administrator will add an acceptable string to indicate the space between the words.
2. After you have entered the request data, click Preview to view the resulting request string.
It should be identical to the string displayed in the Google search results address bar. If you used a plus sign between the words Cisco and Systems, you will see “%2B” instead of the plus sign; if you used a space, you will see
“%20”. These strings indicate a space and are an acceptable substitute for the plus sign.
April 8, 2014
Actions
3. Click Test to test your HTTP request.
The request should open your browser, navigate to the Google Search page, and run a search for Cisco Systems.
IPC Action
This action is available to Agent Desktop agents at the Premium level.
IPC actions pass information in the form of UDP (user datagram protocol) messages from the agent desktop to a third-party application using IPC (interprocess communication) methods. The third-party application can be located on the agent’s
PC or anywhere on the network.
NOTE: You must have a custom application written that listens for data sent to a specific IP address and port.
An IPC action is one-way—that is, when CAD sends data using an IPC action, it does not receive a response or any acknowledgement that the message was received by the recipient third-party application.
The data sent is enterprise data or user-defined data. It is sent in the format: valuename=value&name=value&name=value…
To set up an IPC action:
1. Set up a new action. See
“Adding a New Action” on page 98

Launch External Application Action
Launch External Application actions start a third-party application in a new window.
To ensure applications are running before macros attempt to use them, start them with launch actions assigned to the Startup event.
April 8, 2014 119
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
NOTE: An application started by a launch action must use the same path on the agent’s PC as it does on the administrator’s PC or it must be on a network drive, or the launch action will not be successful.
When using launch actions, Agent Desktop can pass parameters such as command line arguments in two ways.
The first method is to add parameters after the application path name. For example, the command to start Microsoft Excel and open a spreadsheet named mrmtest.xls is:
“c:\program files\excel.exe” “c:\my documents\mrmtest.xls”
NOTE: Program names and command line arguments that contain spaces must be in quotes so that they appear as one argument rather than as multiple arguments.
The second method involves passing data fields as arguments. You can pass any valid data field while launching an application. Note that if a launch action takes place on the Startup event, call data might not be present. Empty or blank data fields will contain the string <NULL>.
To set up a Launch External Application action:
1. Set up a new action. See
“Adding a New Action” on page 98 . The Select Action
window appears.

3. Enter a name for the action and enter the path to the desired application’s location. Make sure the application is located so that it is available to Agent
Desktop at runtime.
4. Add any arguments you want to pass to the application. Choose the desired argument in the Available Arguments list, and use the left arrow to add it to the Argument list. Use the up and down arrows to reorder the Argument list.
5. When you have finished entering information, click OK.
Run Macro Action
A macro is a shortcut for a sequence of keystrokes. For example, you might record a macro that performs the following tasks with each incoming call:
1. Copy the ANI (Automatic Number Identification) from Agent Desktop to
Microsoft Outlook
2. Open a contact list
3. Find the ANI in a database or spreadsheet
4. Display a screen containing the caller’s account information
NOTE: Do not use a Run Macro action to perform tasks that can be accomplished by one of the other types of actions available. For
April 8, 2014 121
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide example, use a Call Control action to transfer a call, and an Agent
State action to change agent states.
NOTE: Run Macro actions do not work correctly when Chinese and
Korean characters (and potentially any multi-byte characters) are used.
Macro Recording Tips
If your macro accesses a third-party application, make sure that the application is open. If the macro enters text into the third-party application, make sure that application has Windows focus.
Keystroke macros play back to the top level window they were recorded in. If you are running a keystroke macro to a Terminal Services window, you must make sure that the appropriate application in that Terminal Services window always has focus, otherwise the keystrokes will be sent to the wrong application.
Before you begin to record the macro, make a test run with the third-party application, writing down all of the keystrokes required for the tasks you want to perform.
Avoid using:
■
■
Tab or arrow keys in your macro because the cursor can not always be in the same position each time a window opens.
Mouse clicks and movements, because the macro recorder does not record them.
Use keyboard shortcut keys instead to perform actions in the application.
NOTE: When a macro is executed, it can be impacted by the current keyboard settings of the client PC. Care should be taken to ensure that keyboard settings, such as Caps Lock, are not inadvertently left on. Agents should also be cautioned not to enter keystrokes while a macro is running, since that can also affect the macro.
Shortcut keys are indicated by an underlined letter in the button name, field name, or description. You press Alt, Ctrl, or Shift plus the underlined letter to perform the action. For instance:
In this case, pressing Alt+E clicks the Edit button.

Ctrl+S
Ctrl+V
Ctrl+X
The exact keystrokes for a keyboard shortcut are listed in the application’s menu. For instance, in Microsoft Word, to find out what the shortcut is to save a document, choose File from the menu bar. On the drop-down menu the Save option is followed by its shortcut, Ctrl+S.
Common Windows shortcut keys are:

Enter
Description
Cancels an action.
Clicks OK or the default button in a dialog box. (Default buttons have a heavier border surrounding them.)
Selects all text.
Copies selected text to the clipboard.
Prints the document.
Saves the document.
Pastes text into the window at the cursor position.
Cuts selected text to the clipboard.
A macro can include keystrokes for multiple applications. For example, one macro might include keystrokes for word processing, spreadsheet, and database applications.
To switch between applications when recording a macro, use the mouse to select the application. Do not press Alt-Tab. If you do, these keystrokes are recorded and might not select the correct application when you play back the macro.
NOTE: Do not press Ctrl+Esc to click the Microsoft Windows Start button, or the Macro Recorder stops recording without providing a message showing that recording has stopped. All keystrokes recorded up to this point are deleted. To click Start without causing an error or stopping recording, use your mouse.

Agent’s State Change Notification and Announcement
Agent’s State Change Notification and
Announcement
Agent Desktop can be configured so that agents who are vision-impaired are notified of agent state changes. This is accomplished by creating work flows that either pop agent notifications that can be read by a screen reader, or that launch an appropriate recorded message that is played through the agent's computer speakers.
The type of work flow you create depends on which agent state change you want to announce.
■
Use a voice contact work flow to announce transition to the Work state.
■
Use an agent management work flow to announce transition to the Ready and
Not Ready state.
Use either of the following actions with the work flow.
■
■
Agent Notification action. A custom message is popped on the agent’s desktop when the agent changes agent state. This notification can then be read by a screen reader.
Launch External Application action. A sound file is played when the agent changes agent state.
To announce the agent state changes verbally using the Agent Notification action:
1. Create a new Agent Notification action (See “Agent Notification Action” on page 103 ).
2. When configuring the action, complete the Agent Notification dialog box with a relevant custom message as shown in the example in
.
Figure 67. Agent Notification Action Setup dialog box
April 8, 2014 137
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide
3. Associate the new action with a work flow so that it is launched when the agent state changes. For example, if you are configuring the Work event in the
Voice Contact Work Flows node, apply an agent notification action as shown in
Figure 68. Agent Notification action on the Work event
138
4. Click Apply. The change goes into effect when the agent restarts Agent
Desktop.
To announce agent state changes verbally using the Launch External Application action:
1. Create a new Launch External Application action (See “Launch External
Application Action” on page 119 ).
2. When configuring the action, complete the Launch External Application dialog box as shown in the example in
Figure 69 . To play a WAV file, enter the path of
the pre-recorded sound file. For example, the command to open a WAV file named Not_Ready.wav is:
“D:\Recorded Files\State Changes\Not_Ready.wav”

Agent’s State Change Notification and Announcement
To play a sound file other than WAV file, enter the path of a sound player application that is available on the agent desktop, and append the argument with the path of the pre-recorded sound file. The format of the sound file should be supported by the sound player application that you want to launch.

Cisco Unified CCX Outbound Preview Dialer
Cisco Unified CCX Outbound Preview Dialer
Cisco Unified Outbound Preview Dialer (Outbound Dialer) is a Unified CCX feature that enables automated outbound dialing to customers. These outbound calls appear as inbound calls to the agent, and information about the call appears in the Enterprise
Data pane.
NOTE: Outbound Dialer is available only for Agent Desktop.
A supervisor or administrator sets up a calling campaign in Unified CCX that consists of various elements that will present calls to agents and provide information so the agent can handle the call successfully. (See the
Cisco Unified CCX Administration
Guide
for information on setting up calling campaigns.)
Outbound Dialer uses the Direct Preview Dialing Mode. In this mode, an agent is reserved and then presented with a customer call along with customer information in the Enterprise Data window. Based on this information, the agent can decide to accept, skip, or reject the call. The agent can also categorize the phone call presented as Voice, Answering Machine, Invalid, or Fax Modem.
The customer callback feature enables an agent to reschedule a customer call at the customer’s request for a more convenient time. When the call is redialed, the call is directed to any available agent.
Outbound Dialer Actions
Based on the enterprise data information, the agent selects the appropriate Outbound
Dialer action button on the Outbound Dialer toolbar.
The available Outbound Dialer actions and their associated toolbar buttons are
Table 18. Outbound Dialer actions and associated toolbar buttons
Button Action
Accept
Description
The system dials the customer and connects the call to the agent.
Reject The system rejects the current call and releases the agent from the outbound calling reservation. At this point, the system might deliver to the agent another outbound call or a new inbound call.
Reject Close The system rejects the current call and closes the record so the customer will not be called again.

Button Action
Skip
Description
The system skips the current call and presents the agent with another customer call.
Skip Close
Skip-Next
The system skips the current call and closes the record so the customer will not be called again.
The system skips the call and displays a menu of these options:
• Wrong Number. The agent is informed that the number called is a wrong number. After the call terminates, the system calls other customer phone numbers.
• Not Home. The agent is informed that the customer is not home. After the call terminates, the system calls other customer phone numbers.
Callback
Reclassify
Cancel
Reservation
Displays the Callback Properties dialog box, which the agent uses to set a time and date to call back the customer. The agent also uses this dialog box to cancel a previously-scheduled callback of the current customer. This action works only if the call has been connected to the customer and if the agent is in a talking or wrap-up state during a Unified
CCX-generated call.
Displays a menu that enables the agent to reclassify a customer phone number as voice, answering machine, fax/modem, or an invalid number.
The system releases the agent from the calling campaign and places the agent in the Not Ready state. To resume participating in the calling campaign, the agent must change the agent state to Ready.
Outbound Dialer Toolbar
In order for the Outbound Dialer actions to be available for agents to use, you must configure the agent interface to include the Outbound Dialer toolbar.
NOTE: You cannot prevent an agent from receiving Outbound Dialer calls by removing the Outbound Dialer toolbar from the agent’s desktop. The agent must also be removed from the CSQ that is handling the Outbound Dialer calls.

Configuring Agent E-Mail
Introduction
Agent E-Mail can be configured only if you have the Premium package. The Agent
E-Mail Settings node is not displayed if you have the Standard or Enhanced package.
Prerequisites
Before the Agent E-Mail feature can function, there are settings that must be configured in Microsoft Exchange and Cisco Unified CCX Application Administration.
■
■
Microsoft Exchange: Set up the Agent E-Mail user account, distribution lists, and mailboxes
Unified CCX Application Administration: Set up CSQs and skills
See “Configuring Agent E-Mail” in the
Cisco CAD Installation Guide
for information on setting up these prerequisites, and for information on how the Agent E-Mail feature manages customer e-mails and agent replies to those e-mails.
Overview
Configuring Agent E-Mail in Desktop Administrator consists of the following tasks.
■
■
■
Configuring Global Settings (page 199)
Configuring Contact Service Queue Settings (page 205)
Configuring Templates (page 210)
Customers can send e-mail to e-mail addresses assigned to specific customer service queues. The CSQs funnel the customer e-mails to agents who service those CSQs.
Agents put themselves in the E-Mail Ready state to receive customer e-mail. Going into the E-Mail Ready state signals Agent Desktop to deliver the configured number of customer e-mails to the agent’s desktop. Depending on how it is configured, an agent
April 8, 2014 197
Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide can work on up to 5 customer e-mails at a time. The agent can also take the following actions:
■
Requeue the e-mail if the agent wants it to be handled by another agent in the same CSQ.
■
■
Transfer the e-mail to a different, more appropriate CSQ.
Save the e-mail as a draft so it can be worked on at a later time.
■
■
Delete the e-mail. If an e-mail address is specified in the Forwarding Address for Deleted E-Mails field, then the deleted e-mail gets forwarded to the specified e-mail address where supervisors can evaluate it for true deletion or for requeueing if it needs to be handled.
Send their response to the customer. Their response can include boilerplate text inserted from templates and attached files of any format.
If the agent’s work flow group and E-Mail CSQ are configured for review, then all the agent's responses are transferred to the E-Mail Review CSQ. The E-Mail Review CSQ is used to review your responses to the customer e-mails.
NOTE: E-mail cannot be transferred manually to the E-Mail Review
CSQ.
Agents who are assigned to the E-Mail Review CSQ review each e-mail before it is sent to the customer. Reviewers can do the following actions on the reply e-mail:
■
Edit the agent’s response and any attachments.
■
■
Requeue the e-mail back into the E-Mail Review CSQ to be reviewed by another reviewer.
Transfer the e-mail to its original CSQ to be handled by the next available agent. In this case, any edits the reviewer made to the e-mail are preserved and the e-mail is saved as a draft.
The system can be configured to send an automated response to every customer e-mail, retention periods for keeping e-mail in the e-mail store, and other settings.

If you change any of the IMAP or SMTP server settings listed below, Desktop
Administrator attempts to validate the connection and authenticate into the respective IMAP and/or SMTP connector. If this validation passes, the settings are saved. If the validation does not pass, an error message displays and the settings are not saved.
NOTE: Desktop Administrator validates the connection and authenticates into the SMTP connector specified. However, a test e-mail is not sent as part of the validation. The validation does not guarantee agents will be able to send e-mails with this connector.
Additional configuration might be required to give the agents the necessary permissions to send e-mail messages. See the
Cisco CAD
Installation Guide
and the
Cisco CAD Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
NOTE: If you make any changes to the IMAP or SMTP server host/IP addresses, you must log out, exit, and restart the CAD desktop application for changes to take effect.

Configuring Contact Service Queue Settings
There are two types of Agent E-Mail CSQs:
■
CSQ. Customers send e-mails to e-mail addresses assigned to specific customer service queues. The CSQs funnel the customer e-mails to agents who service those CSQs. Agents receive customer e-mail when in E-Mail
Ready state and reply to the e-mails. The e-mail responses are delivered to the customers without any internal review.
■
Review CSQ. Agent e-mail responses can be configured to be delivered to an internal Review CSQ prior to its delivery to the customers to ensure content quality. Reviewers who service Review CSQ are appropriately skilled supervisors or agents. Reviewers can edit, transfer, re-queue, and send reviewed e-mail using the Agent E-Mail functionality. When the reviewer sends the e-mail to the customer, the e-mail shows the e-mail address of the original
CSQ to which it was queued, not the e-mail of the E-Mail Review CSQ.
Use the Contact Service Queue Settings page to configure how e-mail that is sent to specific CSQs is handled.

CAD Configuration Setup
Introduction
The CAD Configuration Setup page is used to modify configuration settings that were initially set up during installation. One reason this might become necessary is if a CAD server IP address is changed. Use this page to do the following:
■
■
Enable/disable automatic updates
Change the IP address of the CAD-BE servers
■
■
Change the IP address of the CAD services
Change the login credentials for the BIPPA service
■
Clear the password set for Desktop Work Flow Administrator
Other CAD configuration settings are changed using the CAD Configuration Setup utility. This utility can be accessed either from the Desktop Work Flow Administrator menu bar or by launching PostInstall.exe. See the
Cisco CAD Installation Guide
and
"Modifying the Unified CCX Server IP Address" on page 17
for more information on using the CAD Configuration Setup utility.

NOTE: If some of your agents are outside the firewall, use the external hostname/IP address that maps to the server. If all your agents are inside the firewall, use the internal hostname/IP address.
The host name or IP address of the secondary CAD Base
Services server. The secondary server hosts the CAD Base
Services and you must have configured replication between the primary and secondary server.
NOTE: If you establish replication in initial mode, the
Secondary Location field is filled automatically.
NOTE: The Secondary Location field is not enabled until you configure the secondary CAD Base Services server and establish replication.
