System Configurator (SC)

System Configurator (SC) is a tool for configuring both on-premise and cloud versions of the contact center software.

Some features in SC only affect applications used in the on-premise version of Sinch Contact Pro or for other reasons are not available in the cloud version of Sinch Contact Pro, or vice versa. For example, the end-user application Communication Desktop (CDT) is only used in the on-premise version. Before changing any configuration, make sure the feature is in use in your software, system, and applications.

The System Configuration table below lists the links and descriptions of the administration and configuration items. Documentation links to other functions such as personalizing the user interface and copying and deleting items are given in the table General Functions.
