The Enterprise Server continuously updates the real-time applications with gateway data and simultaneously updates connected clients through Transmission Control Protocol-Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Real-time monitors are automatically updated to reflect device and device group changes made in YourSite Explorer. Supervisors and agents are provided with point-and-click access to real-time performance statistics for their contact center, enabling them to identify issues in contact center performance and see who is available to answer or assist with calls.
The real-time applications include Contact Center Client, Ignite (WEB), and WallBoarder. In Contact Center Client and Ignite (WEB), supervisors and agents can view real-time voice statistics and the phone availability of contact center agents and employees. In contact centers that have the Multimedia Contact Center optional application, supervisors and agents can view real-time voice, email, chat, SMS, and open media statistics. WallBoarder displays text messages and contact center statistics on one or more Spectrum Light Emitting Diode (LED) reader boards (wall signs). WallBoarder administration details are included in the MiContact Center Business Installation and Administration Guide.
Call recordings are initiated in Contact Center Client and are appended to specific Lifecycle reports.
Using Interactive Contact Center, you can control the availability of agents and ACD queues. Agents can log themselves on or off, and place themselves in or remove themselves from Make Busy or Do Not Disturb.
