    • Administrator

    In addition to these roles, user-defined roles can also be created as well

    • Agent, Supervisor, Administrator

    • Agent, Supervisor, Reporting

    • Agent, Supervisor, Administrator, Reporting

    User Management

    In addition to the UCCX Synced Supervisors, local users can now also be created .

    User Management

    On the first time deployment, each user synced from CCX will by default have the “Supervisor” role in Supervisor Tools. Note that the role changes in Supervisor do not map with user capabilities in CCX and are internal to Supervisor Tools application

    User Management

    The permission to upload the agent picture is now merged with the “All Agent List” permission. So, a user will be able to upload upload the agent picture only if he is assigned the “All Agents” permission.

    User Management

    Whenever a new user is added in CUCM, the “User list” needs to be refreshed to see the newly added user

    User Management

    We do not recommend changing the id of an  agent in CUCM

    User Management

    If an agent name is edited from CUCM, it will take time to synchronize with CCX. However, you might need to re-login to see the changes in the User list

    User Management

    In the Agent list, an administrator will be able to see see all agents (supervisors, administrators) in the system. However, for a supervisor, he’ll only see a list of agents who belong to his team

    Agent Management

    Spaces are not allowed in queue names

    CSQ Management

    For a resource-based queue, all the agents within the mapped resource group will appear as part of the queue. However, to see all the agents within a queue, you may need to refresh the page

    CSQ Management

    The agents added within a resource-based queue automatically become a part of the mapped resource group

    CSQ Management

    You can also manually add agents to the queue who are not part of any other resource group

    CSQ Management

    Please note that changes to the order of agents within a queue, do not reflect either made from CCX or from Supervisor Tools

    CSQ Management

    Prompts Management

    Note that you you cannot upload a prompt file on the root folder

    Prompts Management

    Spaces in folder names and prompt names are neither allowed nor recommended since CCX APIs do not allow to add spaces in the names of the objects

    Prompts Management

    The application doesn’t allow to upload an already uploaded audio prompt

    Prompts Management

    The application always shows “Administrator” as the name of the owner who uploaded the prompt. This is because all prompts are uploaded to CCX using admin credentials so, the name of the owner remains “Administrator”

    Prompts Management

    An admin can optionally attach a workspace to an easy announcement

    Easy Announcements

    If an admin creates an easy announcement without selecting a workspace, that announcement will remain private to users having administrator role and would not be accessible for other supervisors. So supervisors would not be able to make any changes to supervisors. So supervisors the announcement

    Easy Announcements

    While creating an announcement, if there is a mismatch between the service DN and the workspace selection, the supervisor of the workspace will

    be able to access and make changes to

    access and the announcement. However, since the DN attached to the announcement is not a part of the supervisor’s workspace, the supervisor

    will not be able to

    see the attached DN.

    For this reason, the

    supervisor will see a warning, “Limited access! Add one of the service DN’s of your workspace

    in order to make changes

    to this announcement”

    Easy Announcements

    If

    a recurrent announcement is deleted

    , the application will automatically delete all instances of the announcement

    Easy Announcements

    A supervisor with no workspace assigned can see all easy announcements

    Easy Announcements

    If a script which is already attached to an application is renamed, UCCX won’t recognize it and so attach the script manually again, with the application. For this reason, it is recommended that a script being used with an application should not be renamed

    Script Management

    You cannot upload a ZIP file of scripts and prompts. However, you can bulk upload the files

    Script Management

    Spaces in folder names are not allowed because CCX APIs do not allow to add spaces in the name

    If an application is created and it is assigned some script then it cannot be changed . Its variable values can be updated

    Applications Management


    Spaces in application names are not allowed

    Applications Management

    You cannot upload the default script in a CCX application from Supervisor Tools

    Applications Management

    Make sure that the script attached to the application is valid. Supervisor Tools  cannot detect if the script attached is invalid

    Applications Management

    Being a supervisor while changing the script prompts, the supervisor would only see the prompts of his own workspace. However, if the admin did not specify any prompt folder while creating this workspace, the supervisor would be able to see all prompts

    Applications Management

    If an admin makes changes to a workspace, i .e. adding/ removing a supervisor to/from a team, the changes will take effect on next login for that supervisor.

    Workspace Management

    If an admin does not associate any applications, service DN’s to a workspace, the supervisor(ssupervisors) of the workspace will not be able to see/access any applications and service DN’s.
