1. Feature Description

The InfinityOne Queue Reports application is an extension of the UCX Call Center Reporting application. It publishes on-going reports on the call center operation, filtered by queue(s), agent(s) and date/time periods via the InfinityOne channel(s). Users can join or leave the queue reporting channels similar to other regular channels. The most important feature is the capability to send the reports via email.

2. Introduction

The InfinityOne Queue Reports application is included as part of InfinityOne. It is a licensed feature and is available for unlimited use within the InfinityOne application once the license is installed on the UCX Server. You may use either the InfinityOne Desktop or Browser interface to view the Queue Reports; it is not supported on the Mobile interface.

3. Prerequisites

Upgrade your UCX server to the latest software version. (See Software Update for details on how to upgrade your software.)

There should be one or more queues configured with one or more agents belonging to each of the queues. (See Call Center documentation for detailed instructions.)

The InfinityOne package must be installed on the UCX Server. (See InfinityOne - Install the infinity_one Package on UCX for detailed instructions.)

The InfinityOne Queue Reports application requires a license with access to the application. First obtain the license and then install the license key.

4. Installation and Configuration

Step One: Install the License

Request for a new license that includes the Queue Reports application.

Once the new license is ready, follow instructions License Retrieval to update the license.

Step Two: Install the packages

If Queue Reports is already installed on the system, you can skip to the next step.
Otherwise, go to UCX Call Center Reporting Guide and follow the instructions to install Queue Reports.

If InfinityOne is already installed on the system, you can skip to the next step.
Otherwise, go to InfinityOne - Installation & Configuration Checklist and follow the instructions to install and configure InfinityOne.

Step Three: Enable Queue Reports application

The first time you configure Queue Reports, you must log in to the InfinityOne client (desktop or web) as an Administrator.

  • Click on the account box (top left where your username and avatar are shown).
  • Select Administration -> Settings -> Queue Reports
  • Click the Queue Reports Enabled -> True button
  • Update Queue Reports Navigation Title as desired.  This title will show up in the left navigation panel of InfinityOne. This is shown on all InfinityOne clients that have been allowed access to the Queue Reports.
  • Click the SAVE CHANGES button

Step Four: Configure Access Permissions

By default, only accounts with Administrator access can make changes to the Queue Reports settings:

  • Queue Reports Enabled

Once Queue Reports has been enabled by the administrator account, any user that has been authorized to access Queue Reports will have to log out of their InfinityOne account and log back in to access the reports.

There are several pre-configured roles that have access to the Queue Reports.

  • Administrator

7. Email Notifications

Instead of logging in to InfinityOne to view the Queue Reports, the administrator can setup email notifications whereby the reports are sent to all users who are subscribed to the report channel.

It is a legal requirement in some jurisdictions that a broadcast email from a business must include a contact address in the email. It is also highly recommended to allow emails to pass through spam filters.

This can be configured in the Administration -> General page, Email Settings section. It will be applied to all emails generated by InfinityOne.

Enable Email Notification

  • Navigate to the Administration -> SETTINGS - General page.
  • Expand the Notifications section.
  • Set Enable email notifications to True.
  • Click on the Save Changes button.

Account Control

The user can click their username in the top left, then in preferences change the setting for Enable Email Notifications. Making this setting false turns off all notifications for the user. Turning it on allows notifications to be sent as configured.

Email notifications are only sent when specifically configured in a channel. They can be set in the channel as `default` to make use of the user level settings. When a user joins a Queue Report channel, the settings for the channel are automatically set to the default values below. These can be changed manually.

  • EmailAll messages
  • Email OnlineYes

The Email Online setting indicates that the user will be emailed messages on that channel even when they are logged in to the system, but note that this does not occur if the user is currently in the specific channel when the message is posted. When a user receives an email from any channel there is an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Note that clicking on this link only unsubscribes the user from receiving emails for that channel. It does not cancel the channel subscription. If the user unsubscribes and later wishes to receive emails again they can click the Notification icon in the quick access menu bar and change the Email setting back to All messages.

Sender

By default, queue reports are created with the Post as user account "@bot". You can choose a different user account to Post as, or you can update the @bot account to have a valid email address.

The sender email address must belong to the same domain as the UCX Server.

Receiver

The report will be emailed to all users who are subscribed to the report channel. The email is sent to the email address configured in the user's account.

Users can subscribe to the channel or their own, or they can be added to the channel. To add a user, type /invite followed by @user in the channel's message box. (See InfinityOne Release 2 - Slash commands for more details.)
