Corinneh/CallbackUI

Using the Callback interface

The Callback UI can display, create, or edit Callbacks. After the Desired Callback Time, the Callback record will still appear in the UI depending on your time filter's selection.

Important

• Additional tabs and dialogs may show up according to your Role permissions.
• Callback Monitor is the minimum role required to access this UI.

Callback states

Callback records can have the following states:

• SCHEDULED—Callback Management is handling the request (there are no sessions started in the system). While in this state, the request is available in the Callback UI when the specified desired_time is upcoming.
• QUEUED—Callbacks actively waiting for an agent in ORS/URS; the agent is not assigned yet.
• ROUTING—Agent is reserved but the call is not yet routed to the agent.
• PROCESSING—Callback being handled by assigned agents.
• COMPLETED—Callback was completed with a result, for example, timed-out, cancelled, and so on. See the Result tab of your Callback block in Designer. The completed reason appears beside COMPLETED in the state column of the table.

The following features are available:

• The drop-down at the top left gives you the option to display Callbacks using a pre-defined range for the past day or week; or for the next day or week.
• Refresh—You can force the interface to refresh the list of Callbacks.

Bulk Cancel and Export of Callback Records

Important

This feature requires the Callback Administrator or Callback Supervisor role.

Make sure to select an appropriate Time Range to filter callbacks, then make a Callback selection to activate the Cancel Callbacks button. When you click this button, the Cancel Callbacks Confirmation dialog opens, displaying the selected Callback cancellations.

You can either:

• Continue with the selections you have made and click confirm to cancel them.
• Check Cancel All Callbacks In Current Time Range, to override your previous Callback selections and delete all callbacks in the current time range. In that case, the list of displayed callbacks disappears from the dialog window.

Confirm to cancel the records.

The resulting display shows all the callbacks that you have selected to cancel and that are now in COMPLETED (CANCELLED_BY_ADMIN) state.

Download Reports

The Export Cancelled Reports dialog provides the Cancellation Summary Report file only if you recently cancelled some callbacks. This report shows the cancellation status of the recently Cancelled Callbacks.
