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 ).

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.

17

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.

Figure 2. CAD Configuration Setup

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.

20 April 8, 2014

The Desktop Work Flow Administrator Interface

The Desktop Work Flow Administrator

Interface

The Desktop Work Flow Administrator interface has two panes ( Figure 3 ). The left

pane is a navigation tree similar to that found in Windows Explorer. The right pane displays the application that you choose in the left pane.

Figure 3. Desktop Work Flow Administrator interface

22 April 8, 2014

User Privileges in Windows XP and Vista

User Privileges in Windows XP and Vista

Because Desktop Work Flow Administrator users must be able to update registry settings, they must have Administrator or Power User privileges on Windows XP and

Vista platforms.

Only a person with Administrator privileges can change user privileges on the

Administrator PC if it is necessary to upgrade them.

April 8, 2014 23

Phone Book

Phone Book

Agents have a number of phone number lists available to them:

The Recent Call List, a dynamic list of up to 100 recently-called phone numbers kept by Agent Desktop

A personal phone book, created and maintained by the agent (and enabled/disabled by the system administrator)

Up to 256 phone books (includes global and work flow group phone books).

Each phone book supports a maximum of 3,000 directory entries.

CAD supports in total up to 10,000 directory entries that includes global, work flow group, or personal phone book entries.

Work flow group phone books, created by the system administrator with the work flow group Phone Book function

Global phone books, which are available to all agents, are created and maintained using the Phone Book node under the Work Flow Configuration node. Work flow groups phone books, which are available to agents only in that specific work flow group, are created and maintained using the Phone Book node under the specific

work flow group’s node ( Figure 13 ).

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.

Connection down. The system issues this reason code when IP Phone Agent or Agent Desktop crashes due to any reason or if the connection is disrupted.

Logout

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.

Enabling Hyperlink Dialing

You can enable/disable dialing of phone numbers on websites displayed in the Agent

Desktop integrated browser by selecting or clearing the Enable Hyperlink dialing check box.

NOTE: The Enable Hyperlink dialing option is not available for

CAD-BE.

When enabled, CAD agents can dial phone numbers that are displayed as a hyperlink on a web page by clicking on the phone number. When clicked, the phone numbers are dialed using the agent’s phone. Phone numbers must conform to the following rules in order to become hyperlinks:

The phone number must be 10 digits long and use the North American dial string format:

<area code> <exchange> <subscriber number>

The phone number can have parentheses around the area code, and use any combination of spaces, hyphens, and periods in the phone number.

Numbers shorter than 10 digits, such as local numbers without area codes or phone extensions, cannot be dialed.

The phone number cannot contain alpha characters. For instance, the phone number 800-GET-PZZA cannot be dialed.

Phone numbers that are actually image files or are populated from databases cannot be dialed.

Some web sites hide hyperlinks; the phone number might not look like it is hyperlinked, but it actually is and can be dialed.

For more information, see “Dialing Hyperlinked Phone Numbers” in the

Cisco CAD

User Guide

.

Configuring the Number of Browser Tabs

Choose 0 to 10 in the Number of Work Flow Browsers field to set how many browser tabs appear in Agent Desktop (this feature is not available in CAD-BE). If you choose 0, only the supervisor push page tab appears—it is always enabled. If you choose 1 to

10, that many tabs in addition to the supervisor push page tab appear.

Work flow HTTP actions can be set up to display web pages in a specific browser tab.

NOTE: If popups are enabled, an administrator cannot control the resulting Internet Explorer window. The agent might be able to gain full navigational control of the resulting browser window, including the address bar.

Setting Up the Home Page

A home page is the website that appears in the integrated browser when Agent

Desktop or CAD-BE is started. The default website is www.cisco.com. If no home page is configured (the default is deleted), the integrated browser tab is blank.

To configure a home page:

1. From the Browser Tab drop-down list, select the tab where you want the home page to appear.

2. In the Home Page field, type the web address (URL) of the website you want to appear by default in the integrated browser.

3. Click Update.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each tab as desired.

5. Click Apply to save your changes. The home page is set.

Setting Up Work Sites

A work site is a website that is frequently accessed by agents to assist them in their jobs. They are similar to the “favorites” you can set up in a web browser.

Work sites you set up appear in a drop-down list in the agent’s integrated browser.

When the agent selects a work site from the list, it is displayed in the integrated browser window. This allows the agent quick access to the site without having to type its address in the (optional) Address field.

Remote Access

The Remote Access tab ( Figure 33

) is used to enable the IPC Receive Event feature and configure the port used by the feature. The IPC Receive Event feature is available only in the Premium bundle.

76 April 8, 2014

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 Record Action (page 79)

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)

The message sent to Agent Desktop must conform to this XML format. Bold text indicates a variable that must be replaced with your own values.

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.

82 April 8, 2014

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 (

Figure 35

). 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).

Figure 37. Data Field Condition dialog box

86

To set up data field conditions:

1. In the Voice Contact Classification dialog box, click Edit. In the Voice Contact

Work Flow window, add a new rule and then click Edit in the Current Rule

Conditions section of the window.

2. Select a data field from the Data Field drop-down list.

The Data Field lists all the enterprise data fields used in your system.

Not all data fields are available for all events, for instance, Calling# and

Called# are not available for the Ringing event.

3. Specify one of the data field filters:

— Is Empty. There is no data in the data field.

— Is Not Empty. There is data in the data field.

April 8, 2014

Voice Contact Work Flows

— 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:

1. From the Voice Contact Work Flow List, select the work flow you want to modify, and then click Edit.

If you selected a custom work flow, the Edit Voice Contact Classification dialog box appears.

April 8, 2014 87

Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide

If you select the default work flow, the Voice Contact Work Flow window appears. The default work flow does not classify voice contacts, and so bypasses the Edit Voice contact Classification dialog box.

2. Modify the voice contact classification if desired, and then click OK to proceed to the Voice Contact Work Flow window.

3. Modify the work flow as desired, and then click Apply to save your changes.

Voice Contact Work Flows and Outbound Dialer

Cisco Unified Outbound Dialer’s Direct Preview dialing mode includes events that do

not always map to work flow events. Table 11 displays how the Outbound Dialer

events map to voice work flow events to assist you in creating work flows for Outbound

Dialer campaigns.

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

.

When you select the E-Mail Contact Work Flows node in the navigation tree, the E-Mail

Contact Work Flows window is displayed ( Figure 38

). You can enable Review CSQ for the agent work flow group by selecting the check box.

Agent Management Work Flows

Agent Management Work Flows

Agent management work flows manage agent activity based on Agent Desktop and

CAD-BE activity, agent ACD states, and time of day. The work flows follow the event— rule—action behavior used by voice contact work flows. There is a major difference— there is no initial filtering similar to the voice contact classification applied to voice contacts.

The Time of Day work flow can be configured only if you have the Premium package.

For example, agent management work flows could be set up as follows:

Every work day at 4:30, agents receive a popup message reminding them to complete their time cards.

Whenever Agent Desktop starts up, Notepad is launched on the agent’s desktop.

Whenever an agent enters the Ready state, the customer database is launched.

Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide

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

).

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

“Action

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.

NOTE: If you export actions to the default location (C:\Program

Files\Cisco\Desktop\config\Action) they will be lost in the event that a client desktop is reinstalled. To avoid this, choose a location other than the CAD installation directory.

The actions you export can also be imported by other instances of Desktop Work Flow

Administrator, belonging to your system or any other system, as long as those instances are the same version of Desktop Work Flow Administrator and can access the file storage folder.

April 8, 2014 99

Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide

Types of actions that can be exported and imported are:

Run Macro action

HTTP action

IPC action

Launch External Application action

The rules and events associated with the actions are not part of this function and cannot be exported or imported.

You can export only one action at a time. For example, if there are five actions you want to export from a work flow group, you must export each action individually.

You can add a description (limited to 255 characters) to the exported action for easier identification when importing to another work flow group.

If an imported action has the same name as an action already present in the work flow group, you will be prompted to rename the imported action.

April 8, 2014

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

).

Figure 52. Call Control Action Setup dialog box

108

2. Enter the following information:

A name for the call control action.

The type of action selected from the Call Control drop-down list.

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.

April 8, 2014

Actions

Delay Action

Delay actions are used to add delay time between actions in a series of actions. For example, the delay action can be added to a work flow that includes a series of macros that need delay time between execution of those macros.

To set up a Delay action:

4. Click OK.

HTTP Action

This action is available to Agent Desktop agents at the Premium level (Post and Get), and to CAD-BE agents at the Enhanced and Premium levels (Get only).

HTTP actions enable an agent to use call-based data to interact with a website or a web application in the Integrated Browser window.

For example, an HTTP action can be set up so the enterprise data of an incoming call is used to retrieve a customer record and display it in the Integrated Browser.

April 8, 2014 109

Cisco Desktop Administrator User Guide

NOTE: For more information on HTTP requests and the HTTP protocol in general, see the website of the World Wide Web Consortium, www.w3.org

.

NOTE: Keep in mind that a URL, including arguments, is limited by the HTTP service to a maximum of 2075 characters. If you create an

HTTP action that results in a URL longer than that, it will not work correctly.

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(

Figure 56

).

Figure 56. Google search results page

April 8, 2014

3. The Address bar shows this string: www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=gd&q=Cisco+

Systems&wxob=0

The portion of the string before the question mark is the host and the path.

After that, all the request data is listed, separated by ampersands (&).

Name

Host

Value www.google.com

Path search

Request Data ie=UTF-8 oe=UTF-8 sourceid=gd q=Cisco+Systems wxob=0

115

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.

120 April 8, 2014

Actions

2. Select the Launch External Application Action tab, and then click New. The

Launching External Application Action Setup dialog box appears ( Figure 60 ).

Figure 60. Launching External Application Action Setup dialog box

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.

122 April 8, 2014

Actions

Ctrl+A

Ctrl+C

Ctrl+P

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:

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

.

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 .

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”

April 8, 2014

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

displayed in Table 18.

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.

Enabling Desktop Monitoring

When desktop monitoring is enabled, software on the agent desktop handles recording and monitoring requests for that agent. This is possible only on desktops that are physically connected to the network through a hard IP phone or through a soft phone.

By default, desktop monitoring is enabled for all phone devices.

NOTE: Desktop monitoring does not function with some NIC cards that are unable to detect both voice packets and data packets in a multiple VLAN environment. For more information on this issue, and suggested work-arounds, see the

Cisco CAD Installation Guide

.

A phone is monitored either through desktop monitoring or a VoIP Monitor service—it cannot be monitored by both. However, a VoIP Monitor service can be a backup if the agent’s desktop monitoring module fails to register with Directory Services when

Agent Desktop is started.

Configuring the Cisco Unified Presence Server

Several settings (an inbound access control list and the CAD client type) must be configured in the Unified Presence server in order for CAD agents to log in.

For more detailed information on configuring the Unified Presence server, consult the

Cisco Unified Presence documentation available on www.cisco.com

.

Configuring an Inbound Access Control List

The Cisco Unified Presence server must be configured to accept inbound requests from agent devices so that, when an agent logs into CIsco Agent Desktop, the agent’s computer will be able to connect to the Unified Presence server.

To enable this connection, an inbound Access Control List (ACL) must be configured to allow inbound messages from the agent computer’s IP address or to allow all inbound messages.

To configure the inbound ACL:

1. In Cisco Unified Presence Administration, navigate to System > Security >

Incoming ACL.

2. Create an incoming ACL with the address pattern set to either the agent PC’s

IP address or to ALL.

Configuring the CAD Client Type

This setting must be configured only if your system uses Unified Presence version 8.6 or newer. In order for CAD agents to be able to log into Unified Presence, the CAD client type must be added to Unified Presence Administration.

To add the CAD client type:

1. In CIsco Unified Presence Administration, navigate to Application > Client

Types.

2. Click Add New.

3. Complete the Client Type page as follows:

Type: CAD

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

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

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.

Address

Description

Type the blind carbon copy (BCC) e-mail address to which all agent responses to the customer e-mail are to be sent.

NOTE: If your configuration uses Microsoft Exchange

Server 2007, CAD does not route e-mail based on an address in the BCC field. The CSQ e-mail address must be in the TO field for the e-mail to be routed correctly.

Review Settings

Send E-Mails for Review to:

This is a

Review CSQ

Select this check box and the CSQ to which to send e-mails for review.

Select this check box to make it a Review CSQ.

When this option is enabled, e-mails sent by agents from a regular CSQ are transferred to the Review CSQ. Agents assigned to the Review CSQ review the agent response and edit or requeue the message, or send it on to the customer.

If you select this option, the Send E-Mails for Review to option is disabled. An e-mail from the Review CSQ cannot be sent to any other CSQ. In addition, if a CSQ is assigned as a Review CSQ, you cannot configure the Automatic

Response options.

Automatically

Send idle

E-Mails

Select this check box to send messages that have been in the Review queue for an extended period of time on to the customer. The time period is configured on the Global

Settings page.

This field is enabled only if the CSQ is a Review CSQ.

Selecting this option helps prevent long delays in delivering the reply to the customer in instances where an agent’s response is not reviewed in a timely manner.

Automatic Response

Send automatic response

Select this check box if you want to send an automated response to all who send an e-mail to this CSQ.

NOTE: When sending a single e-mail to multiple addresses that are mapped to multiple e-mail CSQs, only one of the CSQs will get the e-mail, and therefore only a single auto-response will be sent if configured for that CSQ.

Description

Select the template that you want to set for automatic response. This field is enabled only if you select Send automatic response.

Send responses using E-Mail address

Type the e-mail address from which automated responses are to be sent.

Sending the automated responses from a different e-mail address prevents automatic response loops because the automated response e-mail address cannot receive e-mail messages. Any responses sent to that e-mail address will not be attended.

NOTE : If this field is left blank, CAD will use the response e-mail address configured in the Settings section. If that field is blank, CAD will use the e-mail address in the E-Mail addresses that map to this CSQ section.

E-Mail addresses that map to this CSQ

The one or more e-mail addresses that map to the CSQ.

E-mail addresses are case sensitive. Any e-mail sent to these addresses is routed to agents assigned to the CSQ.

These e-mail addresses are the addresses of distribution groups set up in Active Directory, each of which contains only one member, the e-mail address set up as the Agent

E-Mail user in Active Directory. See the Cisco CAD

Installation Guide for information on setting up the user and distribution groups.

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.
