15 Chapter 1 Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents This chapter explains the concepts you must be familiar with when setting up agents for your Unified CCE contact center. This chapter contains the following topics: About Administering Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents, page 9 About the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agent Re-skilling Tool, page 13 Modifying the Skill Groups Per Agent Limit, page 13 About Network Transfer for IVRs, page 15 About Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Routing, page 15 Single-line Versus Multi-line Behavior, page 20 About Administering Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents This section provides information about the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise agent, including associating the agent with database records and agent desk settings. What is a Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agent? An agent is an individual who handles customer contact within your contact center. In a Unified CCE configuration, you can create two types of agents: Agent type Voice-only agents Multichannel agents Description Agents able to receive telephone calls. You can also configure Voice-only agents to receive non-voice requests such as chat, blended collaboration, and . Agents able to receive voice calls and requests from other media. You can also configure multichannel agents to only 9

16 About Administering Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents Chapter 1: Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents Agent type Description receive non-voice requests such as chat, blended collaboration, and . Note: You must have Cisco's multichannel software installed as part of your Unified CCE configuration to create multichannel agents. Note: In most cases, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) peripheral on the Generic IPCC peripherl gateway (PG), which is set up with your initial Unified CCE installation, tracks and records the state and activity of all voice and non-voice agents. You can configure a non-voice PG rather than a Unified CM PG to monitor state and activity of agents configured as non-voice agents. However, this is optional, and is not necessary if you already have a Unified CM peripheral on the Generic IPCC PG. When using Unified SCCE, agent tracking is performed using the Agent/IVR Controller. Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management Database Records for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Voice-Only Agents In the Unified ICM database, each agent must be associated with two database records: Unified ICM Database Record Description Person record Identifies the individual. Person records must exist for all Unified CCE agents. Every agent in your configuration must have a single Person record. This record can then be associated with one or multiple Agent records, as described below. Note: Unified SCCE automatically sets the Person record. In Unified SCCE, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the agent and the person. Agent record Identifies the agent working on a particular peripheral. There must be a one-to-one correspondence between each Agent record and its associated peripheral. However, in Unified CCE, if an agent is going to be working on several peripherals, you can create several Agent records and associate these with the same Person record. In this way, a single agent can work on several different peripherals. In Unified SCCE, this only works if done from the parent system. When you create an Agent record, you have the option of associating it with an existing Person record (select Select Person). If you do not associate the Agent record with an existing Person record, a new Person record is automatically created when you create the agent. 10

17 Chapter 1: Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents About Administering Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents Database Records for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Multichannel Agents Unified CCE agents who will use multichannel software are associated with three different database records: The Person record in the Unified ICM/CCE database The Agent record in the Unified ICM/CCE database The Agent record in the database for the multichannel application About Agent Desk Settings Each Agent record must be associated with an Agent Desk Setting. The Agent Desk Settings configuration is used to associate a set of permissions or characteristics with specific agents. These settings are comparable to Class of Service settings on a PBX or ACD. Desk settings are associated with an agent when the agent is configured in the Unified ICM database. The desk settings are global in scope and they can be applied to any configured agent on any peripheral within a Unified ICM/CCE configuration. If desktop settings are not associated with a configured agent, the agent is assigned the peripheral default settings. The peripheral default settings depend on the default setting for the Generic IPCC PG the agent is logged in to. Note: See the "About Configuring Agent Features with Agent Desk Settings List Tool (page 23)" section for detailed information. About Agent Teams and Supervisors You can organize Unified CCE voice agents into teams. A team is a collection of agents grouped for reporting purposes. Note: A single agent can only belong to one team. Unified ICM/CCE software allows you to group individual agents into agent teams that can be managed by supervisors. Agent teams are assigned to a specific peripheral, so all agents of a given team must also be assigned to the same Unified CM peripheral. Unified ICM/CCE software lets you assign both Primary and Secondary supervisors to an individual team. It is recommended that you set up your teams with both a Primary and a Secondary supervisor. This setup helps to accommodate Supervisor and Emergency assist scenarios. Supervisors listed on the Agents team list are able to view real-time statistics (using your reporting application). Supervisors can, for example, barge-in, intercept, silently monitor, and log out agents in the associated team using the CTI Toolkit IPCC Supervisor Desktop application. 11

18 About Administering Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents Chapter 1: Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents Note: If you use Cisco Agent Desktop (CAD), you must configure the supervisor in Unified ICM/CCE software first, then configure the supervisory features within CAD. For reporting purposes, you can report on agent teams and agents grouped into teams. Also, supervisors can run reports on their teams. (Refer to the Reporting Guide for Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted for detailed information about reporting.) Each team you set up must have an agent supervisor associated with it. You can then configure supervisory agent features, to allow the supervisor to better monitor agent activity and assist agents on their team. When you create an agent supervisor, you must enter the following information for the supervisor: Windows Domain name to which the agent team belongs Windows User ID for the supervisor Windows password for the supervisor When configuring agent teams, be aware of the following rules: An agent can be a member of only one agent team. An agent team can have only one Primary Supervisor A supervisor can be a supervisor of any number of agent teams. A supervisor for an agent team can also be a member of that agent team. All agents belonging to an agent team and all supervisors for that agent team must be on the same peripheral. A supervisor cannot be using the Windows administrator account when logging in as supervisor. About Agent Teams and Multichannel Applications You can group voice agents into teams using the Unified ICM/CCE/CCH Administration User Interface. Note, however, that there is no team feature in Cisco Unified Interaction Manager (Unified EIM) and Cisco Unified Web Interaction Manager (Unified WIM); therefore, Unified EIM-only agents and Unified WIM-only agents cannot be grouped into teams. See Also For information about agent features, see the "Configuring CTI OS and CAD Desktop Features (page 23)" section. For information about supervisory features, refer to the CTI OS System Manager's Guide for Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted and the CTI OS Supervisor Desktop User Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted, and see the "About Configuring Supervisor Features (page 28)" section. 12

19 Chapter 1: Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents About the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agent Re-skilling Tool About the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agent Re-skilling Tool The Unified CCE Agent Re-skilling Tool is an optional, browser-based application designed for use by Unified CCE call center supervisors. It lets you change the skill group designations of agents on your team, and quickly view skill group members and details on individual agents. Changes made to an agent's skill group membership take place immediately without the need for the agent to exit and re-enter the system. Note: If an agent is currently in a call, a change to the agent's skill group membership takes place after the call has terminated. The Agent Re-skilling Tool is an optional tool and must be installed for you to take advantage of these features. Modifying the Skill Groups Per Agent Limit Unified ICM and Unified CCE impose a default limit on the number of skill groups that you can assign to a single agent. Once this limit is reached, additional skill groups cannot be assigned. The default limit is specified in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise 8.x Solution Reference Network Design (SRND). The limit considers the total of both skill groups and sub-skill groups. If desired, you can use the ConfigLimit Tool to specify your own limit on the number of skill groups that can be assigned to an agent. For optimum performance, you can specify a limit far lower than the system default (refer to the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise 8.x Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for performance considerations in choosing a skill groups per agent limit). Warning: Setting a default value for skill groups per agent that is higher than the system default can adversely affect system performance. Cisco will not support configurations that exceed the default value. Caution: The ConfigLimit tool is a command-line tool utility from the bin directory of all Unified ICM/CCE Administration & Data Servers. Access is limited to users with privileges for the Setup or Config Groups in Active Directory for the chosen customer instance. (Refer to the Outbound Option Guide for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted for detailed information about the ConfigLimit tool.) Using the ConfigLimit Tool To change the skill groups per agent limit in configlimit.exe: Step 1 Launch a command line window on any Administration Client or Administration & Data Server. 13

20 Modifying the Skill Groups Per Agent Limit Chapter 1: Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Enter configlimit. Optionally, enter cl /show to view the existing limit. To change the limit, enter cl /id 1 value/<new_value> /update For example, to change the skill groups per agent limit to 5, enter the following text: cl /id 1 value/5 /update Step 5 Press Enter. Additional Requirements Lowering the Limit If you have modified the skill groups per agent limit to be lower than the system default, no additional changes are necessary. The new, lower limit will be enforced immediately. Note that the new limit will not impact agents whose existing skill group membership exceeds the new limit until the next attempt to add a new skill group for those agents. At that time the new limit will be enforced, preventing you from adding additional skill groups. Exceeding the Default Limit If you have modified the skill groups per agent limit to be higher than the system default (in spite of the Warning given above), certain deployments will require additional changes (listed in the following sections) to your system to use the new limit and will allow you to add additional skill groups. Note: If you exceed the default limit and are using CTI OS, do not exceed a maximum of 99 skill groups. IPCC Gateway PG For IPCC Gateway deployments, modify the following registry keys on your IPCC Gateway PGs to include the new value. A change to the registry will require that the PG service be restarted.

21 Chapter 1: Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Agents About Network Transfer for IVRs ERI PG For ERI deployments, modify the following registry key on your ERI PGs to include the new value. A change to the registry will require that the PG service be restarted. ER Service PIM HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\ICM\< customer_instance >\PG{n}[A B]\PG\CurrentVersion\PIMS\pim{n}\ERSData\Config\MaxSkills About Network Transfer for IVRs When a call is transferred from an IVR (for example, IP IVR) to an agent and that agent wants to transfer the call to another agent, the transfer can be made either from the agent's IP phone or the agent desktop. Transfers made from the: IP phone are made using CTI route points that point to a Unified ICM/CCE script. Agent desktop are made using the Dialed Number Plan. Note: If the route point is configured using Unified CM, there is no difference between using the hard phone or the desktop phone. For network transfer from either the IP phone or the CTI Toolkit Agent Desktop, you must queue the call to the skill group in the first Unified ICM/CCE script; for example, "NetXfer1," to create the call context. In this script, the "networktransferenabled" flag must be set to "1." Note: IP IVR does not support network transfer. Unified CVP only supports network "blind" transfer. About Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Routing To understand how Unified CCE routes voice calls, you must understand the concepts of routing operation and routing configuration. About Routing Operation To understand how Unified CCE routing occurs, you must understand these concepts: The Routing Client: The Unified CCE component that submits a route request to the Central Controller. In Unified CCE configurations, the routing client can be: 15
