Enhanced Channels and Scripts

Prev Next

Enhanced Usability: Channels are grouped by media in separate tabs. With this improvement, you can track your channels easily.

Please note that we have introduced a few new fields and renamed a few more in the Channels tab.

What are the new fields?

  • Type: Indicates if this is a service channel or an agent channel.

  • PBX Number: This is the system assigned number used for agent-to-agent dialing.  Channels linked to agents will get a PBX number on migration. Adding and linking a new channel to an agent - adds the PBX number   to the channel.

  • Calling Name Display: Refers to the calling name display.

  • Script Name Public Number: Indicates the  IVR script associated with the agent public number. Directs external callers to the agent.

  • Script Name PBX Number: Indicates the IVR script associated with agent's PBX number for agent-to-agent dialing.

What are the renamed fields?

  • Enabled is renamed to Status: Indicates if the channel is enabled.

  • Phone Number is renamed to Public Number: Indicates the phone number or the DID of the channel.

Enhancements in Scripts

Enhanced Usability: Scripts are grouped by media in separate tabs.

New default scripts

We have introduced two new default scripts that allow direct agent routing.

  • Default Script for an agent public number: This script directs external callers to agents assigned to the channels.

  • Default Script for an agent PBX number: This script supports agent-to-agent dialing.

Additionally, you have a default script for service channels.
