4 Avaya Aura Agent Desktop Knowledge Plug in Installation This document will provide qualified Avaya associates and partners with the guidance to install and configure the Avaya Aura Agent Desktop Knowledge Plug ins for Salesforce.com. Aim The aim of the Avaya Aura Agent Desktop Knowledge Plug in is to improve customer experience and empower agents, by integrating salesforce.com Knowledge searches with CCAD (Contact Center Agent Desktop). Once plug in installation and CCAD configuration are complete, as outlined in this document, the following process will be possible. A call is answered in CCAD, which triggers a request to the Avaya Aura Agent Desktop Knowledge Plug in. The Avaya Aura Agent Desktop Knowledge Plug in performs a salesforce.com knowledge search using the agents skill set. The Avaya Aura Agent Desktop Knowledge Plug in directs the CCAD embedded browser to the relevant Knowledge search results. The search uses agent skill sets, to either filter results by a category, a category maps to the agent skill set, or to search Knowledge for references to the skill set. Scope This document covers the installation of the Avaya Aura Agent Desktop Knowledge Plug in for salesforce.com and the configuration of Avaya Aura CCAD for use with this plug in. Users will be shown how to install the plug in on their salesforce.com platform and how to configure CCAD to connect to the plug in.

8 Configuring salesforce.com Knowledge Data Categories The plugin performs searches of Knowledge using agent skill sets. To enable searching by skill set, salesforce.com Knowledge needs to contain data categories that map to these skill sets. For example, if an agent has a skill set IT, this will search for articles in Knowledge under the IT category. The IT category in this scenario would have to be defined on the salesforce.com platform by a person with privileges to create Data Categories. Users are advised to refer to their salesforce.com account for existing Data Categories or to create new Data Categories for use with this plugin. Configuring the Avaya Aura Agent Desktop This section details the steps necessary to configure an embedded Saleforce.com screen pop within the Avaya Aura Agent Desktop. It is recommended that the user is familiar with this desktop feature, which is documented in the Avaya Aura Contact Center 6.0 Server Administration Guide Configuration CCT Intrinsics. The Knowledge plug in for Saleforce.com allows searching of salesforce.com Knowledge via CCAD. Searches can be conducted using agent skill sets or search term based on a skill set. The results of the knowledge search will be displayed in the embedded CCAD browser. Users will need to configure the CCADIntrinsicSettings.XML file as follows. Note: The below section refers to the following variables that need to be provided by end users while configuring the CCADIntrinsicSettings.XML file. <salesforce.com base url> This is the base salesforce url seen after logging into your salesforce account, e.g. <user defined category group> Category groups are defined by salesforce.com users.
