User Guide - Desktop Connect Unified Agent
Preface
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to provide detailed information about Geomant’s Desktop Connect Unified Agent application.
Audience
This guide is for people who use the Unified Agent application to perform the following tasks:
- Make Outbound Calls to Customers
- Handle Inbound Customer Calls
- Update Customer Information
Overview
This chapter provides a conceptual overview of the Unified Agent application.
As a contact centre agent you require easy access to relevant customer information during a call. As a user of both Avaya Communication Manager (CM) and Avaya Proactive Contact (APC), you require a desktop environment that supports both types of calls, with a common user experience.
Unified Agent provides an intuitive and easy-to-use single desktop telephony interface. You will be able to flexibly blend inbound and outbound activity, incorporating telephony control and screen-pop.
Almost any client application on your desktop can be integrated with minimal effort, and Unified Agent can provide an automated screen-pop of customer information.
Unified Agent can be used as a stand-alone thin client in an IE browser, as a browser frame or as a .NET thick client.
Unified Agent has the following key features:
- Handling outbound calls: Fully functional Proactive Contact client
- Handling inbound calls: Softphone with full inbound call control
- Out-of-the-Box screen pop: Native integration allowing data from any field to be used to screen pop a Windows- or browser-based client application.
- CM Voice & Data Transfer: Calls can be transferred with data from outbound Proactive Contact agents to inbound Communication Manager Agents.
- PAB Skill Management: When used with Geomant's Blend Skill Manager, the 'agent acquire' skill is automatically assigned when the agent logs into PCAgent.
Unified Agent toolbar areas
Unified Agent is optimised to occupy very little space in your browser or application window and provides a common look-and-feel for both outbound and inbound type of work.
The interface of Unified Agent is composed of the areas presented in the diagram below.
Additional interchangeable and configurable panels can be added to Unified Agent based on licensing and the configuration required.
You will be able to drag a main button into one of the additional panels to display the relevant information at all times. This way transfer destinations, presence and latest release codes can be displayed without having to select a button. Additionally, if programmable buttons have been created, these can be added to one of the additional panels.
Main Telephone Icons
The main telephone icons allow you to answer, hang-up and place the call on hold. The answer and hang-up interchange with the agent state. The triangle on the left side indicates the agent mode (inbound or outbound) and the agent status (Available, Busy or Unavailable). The agent states shown in the following table represent the inbound mode.

Description |
Graphic |
---|---|---|
Busy |
On call |

The Hold button becomes blue when clicked. Outbound agent states use the same colours with the agent state triangle inverted. |
Main Buttons
The main buttons panel is provided below:
The main buttons indicate which page area should be displayed. They do not perform any telephony action. The colour of the button indicates its status as listed in the table below.

Do Not Call |
The button that marks the telephone number as ‘do not call’ is provided only in case of outbound dialling.
The digits in the bottom part of the main panel can be used for DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) signalling in the same way that you would use the key pad on a telephone. For example, you can use the DTMF while retrieving the voice mail from the voice mail box.
Right Side Panel
The buttons on the right side panel enable the agent to logout, view settings and view messages.
The color of the message button indicates the presence of messages or errors: white = no messages, blue = messages, red = errors.

Outbound call
When a supervisor starts a job, Avaya Proactive Contact begins the calling activity. You can join a running (active) job that you have been advised to join. After joining a job you can leave a job, change jobs anytime as per your dialling daily activities.
Joining a job
To join a job, click the Join Job button. Click the button without selecting a job to refresh the list (e.g. you know a job started after you have logged in).
The right panel lists the jobs available to you. Select a job from the panel (click once to select, then press Enter or double-click on a list element).
Please note, once you have selected the job, Unified Agent will put your Agent in available state immediately and dialling will start (predictive dialling).
Changing and leaving a job
To change a job you will need to request a break whilst on a call (Pending state). After you have finished your work with the last customer, Unified Agent will automatically put you in an “On Break” state and does not send you any more calls. See Chapter “Go on Break and Off Break” for more instructions.
Leave your job by clicking the Leave Job button on the right side panel.
Then you can use the Join Job button again and select another job using the instructions above.
Go On Break and Off Break
You can remain on a job even when you go on a break. You won’t be getting calls during your break.
You must request a break before you finish your work on your current call, the Avaya Proactive Contact dialer places calls in advance of passing then through to you, due to this the break must be accepted before another call is placed to stop any unnecessary OFCOM calls occurring.
When you select to go On Break the Unified Agent application puts you in a break-pending state. As soon as you finish your work or “Quick Release” your last call your break begins.
To request a break use the Break (coffee cup) main button .
When selected you will see the icon change confirming the request and a message in the info area stating “Break request pending”. Once your last call has been completed, the message will change again to advise the break active.
To return to work, simply click the Break (coffee cup) main button again and calls will be placed through to you.
Receive a call
When Unified Agent connects you to a call, a tone or message can be played into your headset to remind you of this call.
Different actions are available, and depending on your businesses need the screen display and actions available can vary. Your supervisor will demonstrate your system setup to you.
The message in the info area is saying “Received a call”, your agent status changes to “In call”, and the customer telephone number is displayed in the middle bar on the left.
When you answer a call, Unified Agent also populates specific customer information on your screen, the figure below shows an example of the data field that can be used to populate this.
This data can be used to
- Confirm that you are speaking to the correct person
- Allow modification of data
- Advanced scripting, for example a field grab to generate your host system to open/populate another application or website you use in your daily role.
If there is more data than the screen size, you can view more by
- Using your mouse roll ball
- Clicking in the vertical bar
- Pulling the vertical bar down
Place a customer on hold
During your conversation with a customer, you can put the customer on hold. When you take the customer off hold you can begin talking to the customer again.
To put a customer on hold use the Hold button . The button changes to Unhold and a message: „Call held” is displayed in the info area. You can take the call back using the Unhold button.
Chat with your supervisor
If you have difficulties with a customer and you require help from your supervisor, Avaya Proactive Contact with Unified Agent allows you to send and receive instant messages during your calling activities.
You can click the Message button to open a chat window in the right panel. Use the text box to enter your message, and press Enter or click the Send button. The message is sent to your supervisor. Please note you cannot send and receive instant messages with anyone else.
The right panel will populate with the reply that was sent to you. Unified Agent automatically assigns “(A)” (Agent) or “(S)” (Supervisor) labels to each message.
Finalize a call
After every call you will be asked to enter a completion code, this code allows your supervisor to
- Report on the productivity of your job
- Use these code to determine if the customer should be called back again
Use the Hang Up button to finish a customer call. The Hold, Transfer, and Forward Work buttons are disabled, and the info area displays the message: „Hangup successful”. Your agent state changes to „Wrapup” and the customer is disconnected. The line is kept off-hook and is available to make a new manual call (this feature may not be available to you depending on your system setup).
After finishing your wrapup activities, click the Finish item button. The right panel displays a list of completion codes.
Select a code from the panel (click once to select, then press Enter or double-click on a list element). If there is more data than the screen size, you can view more by
- Using your mouse roll ball
- Clicking in the vertical bar
- Pulling the vertical bar down
Alternatively, you can click the Release Line button. Your agent state changes to „Wrapup”, the customer is disconnected, but the customer info is kept open, and the right panel displays a list of completion codes. Select a code from the panel the same way as above.
Dial a call or cancel a call while previewing
The managed dialing feature is used by some companies to allow the agent time to view the customer information before the Avaya Proactive Contact with Unified Agent connects the agent to the customer.
For this feature you will need to login to a Managed Job, see Chapter “Change agent type” for details.
Your supervisor configures the previewing setting on a job-by-job basis.
When previewing the customer information you have the following options:
- Call the customer, if this option is available
- Cancel the customer call, if this option is available
- Wait until the timed preview period ends. After the preview period ends, Unified Agent will automatically connect you to the customer.
Your supervisor will confirm which of the above is available for you to use.
Once you have joined the job, the right panel is populated with customer information. To dial this record immediately you can click the Manual Call button. Once this is selected the call will be placed and you will hear all the call progress of this call (ringing, answer etc). At this time the info area will show the “Managed call started” message confirming this.
If when previewing the customer data you notice that you cannot progress with this call, you can select the Release Line button. This will assign a system completion code against this record, allowing another agent to call this customer.
Do Not Call a customer (DNC)
The Do Not Call feature allows you to mark a record un-callable for that calling day. The Avaya Proactive Contact dialer will mark this record with a system code allowing the supervisor to choose what action is needed next.
If a customer asks you not to call again, you can choose the Do Not Call button. This option may be disabled, your supervisor will advise of this.
Schedule a callback (recall)
You can reschedule the time and date for Unified Agent to call back a customer.
The system callback would place the call back into the pool allowing anyone to handle this call; an AOR recall would link this call to yourself giving priority to you to handle that call. Depending on the system settings your supervisor will advise of what is available on your system. To set the callback as an AOR finish the call with specific completion code 98.
When you reschedule the call you can set the time, date and phone number to call.
On the Unified Agent application select the Schedule (calendar) main button to schedule a callback. Once selected, the right panel will change to the recall panel allowing you to choose the following
- Recall the current number called
- Choose from one of the numbers stored on the list, use the drop down box to choose
- Set another number and associate a name against this number, for example spouse name and number.
- Set a specific date and time
- Period of time from now to call
The figure below shows the screen you complete for this action, if you choose the specific date, a calendar tool will pop allowing you to select the date requested.
Once you have completed the data, click the Schedule button again and you will get a message in the info area stating “Callback Set”.
Please note that when entering a different phone number you are aware of your system settings, for example:
- Some systems require you to enter a 9 for external calls
- Some systems require you to use an international dialling code, e.g. 0044
You system supervisor will provide details of this for you.
Directory
The Directory window contains a list of individual record of customers and business partners. Each contact record contains an individual’s records with contact information, e.g. name, company, email address, etc.
Clicking the Directory button opens the “Dir” panel on the right hand side. You can initiate a search for a contact using the *(asterisk) as a placeholder.
After identifying the contact, select a valid phone number by clicking on it. You can immediately dial the selected number using the “Dial” button on the panel.
Transfer call
During a conversation with a customer, you can transfer the customer’s call to another agent or supervisor or any other extension.
Please note: to transfer calls, do not use the transfer button on your telephone
You can use the following two methods available for transfers
- Voice only
- Voice with customer information (Forward Work)
For information about how to transfer customer information, see Chapter “[Forward Work (transfer voice and data)](file:///D:/Development/Desktop%20Connect%20UnifiedAgent/Unified%20Agent%20User%20Manual.docx#Forward_Work(transfer)”.
To transfer voice only on blind, follow these instructions:
- Click in the New Line
- Enter the number you wish to transfer the call to. Remember the parameters needed, i.e. 9 or international dialling rules.
- If a TTS number is configured in the key file, the TTS button is active, and you can complete the transfer by clicking on it. Otherwise it is disabled.
Use the “Transfer” button in the right panel to confirm the transfer
Your agent state changes to “Xfer pending” and a message is displayed in the info area: “Transfer pending”. The Transfer button changes to Conference (the same icon is displayed).
The customer is put on hold, and the agent connected to the destination number.
Your agent state will stay “In call” until the called number won’t answer the call. Immediately as it answered the customer will be transferred to the destination number and then the agent status will be changed to “Wrapup”. Agent can select one of the closing reason codes from the list or to release the call without reason.
You can complete the transfer in two different ways: the first alternative is to click on Release Line, this keeps the customer information record, your agent status is changed to “Wrapup”, and the info message “Released line, code: Xfer” is displayed.
The other alternative is to click on Finish Item, this releases the customer record, you are free to take new calls, and your agent status changes to “Waiting”.
Both alternatives will set the completion code to the preconfigured „call transferred” code. The consultation call is disconnected, and the customer is connected to the consulted agent.
If you hang up the consultative call, you will be reconnected to the customer, your agent status becomes “In call”, and the message: "Cancelled the transfer" is displayed in the info area.
Forward Work (transfer voice and data)
Use Forward Work (also known as “transfer voice and customer information” or “transfer voice and data”) when you need to transfer the customer as well as their data to a colleague or supervisor.
When you use Forward Work, you do not forward to a specific agent rather you forward the customer to a different job.
Avaya Proactive Contact chooses an available agent in that job.
To use forward work start the following way:
• Click the Forward Work button
• From the drop-down list, select the appropriate job to transfer the customer to
By clicking the “Transfer” button on the right panel a so-called “Blind Forward” is performed. The customer call is disconnected, and the customer call is put in the selected job’s queue. Your agent status becomes “Wrapup”, and the message in the info area says: “Transferred call to another job”.
If you want to contact the receiving agent before transferring, you must click the “Supervised Forward” button in the right panel. In this case the customer is put on hold, you are connected to the receiving agent, and both of you have the same customer information record on your screen. Your agent status is set to “Transfer pending” and the message in the info area says: “Transfer pending”.
You can complete the transfer in two different ways: the first alternative is to click on Release Line, this keeps the customer information record, your agent status is changed to “Wrapup”, and the info message “Released line, code: Xfer” is displayed.
The other alternative is to click on Finish Item, this releases the customer record, you are free to take new calls, and your agent status changes to “Waiting”.
Both alternatives will set the completion code to the preconfigured „call transferred” code. The consultation call is disconnected, and the customer is connected to the receiving agent.
If you hang up the consultative call, you will be reconnected to the customer, your agent status becomes “In call”, and the message: "Cancelled the transfer" is displayed in the info area.
Create a conference
During a conversation with a customer, you can conference the customer’s call with another agent or supervisor using the Unified Agent transfer feature.
Please note: to conference calls using Unified Agent, do not use the conference button on your telephone.

Your agent state changes to “Xfer pending” and a message is displayed in the info area: “Transfer pending”. The Transfer button changes to Conference **(2nd screenshot). Click the **Conference button,
The new participant will join the conference and your agent status will be set to “In call”.
Place a manual call
A manual call is a voice call connection that you create. You must have a line in order to place a manual call (this feature is not always available).
If your agent type is “Outbound”, the guidelines for keeping or losing a line are as follows:
- You do not get a line until Avaya Proactive Contact routes a call to you
- Hanging up allows you to keep a line
- When you are working on a customer’s information after the customer has hung up, you can use that line to call a number
- Releasing a line or forwarding your work causes your line to go away
To place a manual call, follow these instructions:
- Click the Telephone button
- Enter the number you wish to call, see figure below. Remember the parameters needed, i.e. 9 or international dialling rules.
Your agent status changes to “Manual call” and the info area displays a message: “Manual call started”. The Transfer and Forward Work buttons get disabled.
If your agent type is “Inbound” or “Blend”, you have up to 3 lines available for initiating calls.
Inbound Agent
Go On Break and Off Break
