Configuring Contact Center Settings of CDT

You must have rights to modify or create user settings templates or user accounts.

You use this procedure to configure contact center settings of Communication Desktop (CDT) settings. We recommend defining these settings via a user settings template, but you can also define them separately for each user. The settings defined in the template are marked with an asterisk (*) in the user settings view.

  1. On the System Configurator main screen:

    • To define a user settings template, choose User and Role Management > User Settings Template and search for the template that you want to configure.

    • To define a user’s settings, choose User and Role Management > Users and search for the user whose settings you want to configure.

    The search result list appears.

  2. Choose the template or user by double-clicking it.
  3. Choose CDT Contact Center.
  4. Configure the settings according to the following table.

    If you want that the setting you have defined in the template cannot be changed on user-level, select Deny User-Level Modifications. Those settings are grayed out in the user settings view.

    Hide Agent Information

    Select this if option you want that all agent-specific information is hidden in CDT. This setting affects for example the queue list information: if this option is selected, the columns that display the number of agents serving in queues and the number of free agents are empty.

    Hide Caller Information

    Select this option if you want that all information related to a queue caller is hidden in the personal call registry and on the History tab page in CDT. However, the information is displayed when the queue call is allocated to an agent.

    Show All Queues in Dashboard

    To show all queues to which the agent has rights, select this option. The queues that do not have contacts and the queues to which the agent has not been logged on are also showed. When this option is not selected, the view shows only the queues the agent has selected to be displayed in the queue list in the contact view.

    In User Settings Templates Only:

    E-Mail Search Limit

    Choose the maximum amount of e-mails displayed in the list view of e-mails. The displayed number includes the e-mails on the user’s Pending E-Mails list and e-mails in the hunt group queues. For example, if the defined number of displayed e-mails is 100 and the user has 12 pending e-mails, then 88 of the queueing e-mails are displayed. If there are more e-mails in the hunt group queues, the total number of queueing e-mails is displayed at the bottom of the e-mail view. (Added in SP04)

    Save E-Mail When Chat or Call Started

    Select this option if you want that an open e-mail is closed when there is an incoming queue call or chat and a user accepts it. The e-mail is saved into the user’s pending list. When this option is selected, the time used for handling the call or chat is excluded from the time reported for e-mail handling.
