Introduction
Chapter
Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to provide a description of all commands available in Presence
Supervisor. Contact Center coordinators and supervisors use Presence Supervisor to control
the productivity of the services and agents. In some instances it is assumed that you are
familiar with the basic concepts of a Contact Center such as a service, the predictive outbound
mode, a contact, etc. For more in-depth knowledge of those concepts, refer to the Presence
Administrator Manual.
Presence Supervisor allows you to monitor the statuses of the inbound or outbound services
(calls, agents' statuses, etc.), carry out movements in the outbound queues, control the
outbound records in real-time, monitor schedules and invalid contacts, generate reports,
enable and disable loads, send notices to the agents and much more.
When running Presence Supervisor, the application tries to connect to the configured (or
selected) Presence Server. If no connection can be established because Presence Server has
not started or because it is not possible to connect to Presence Server, Presence Supervisor
reports the corresponding error and does not start.
The functionality available from Presence Supervisor is subject to the modules installed in the
Presence system. For instance, if the Messaging module is not purchased along with the
Presence system, the Mail option is not activated and, therefore, all this functionality is
disabled.
Please, bear in mind that the availability of outbound services is subject to the Presence
license purchased.

Installation and configuration
To install and configure Presence Supervisor on a machine, refer to the Presence Installation
Guides.

Monitors
Queue status
The Queue status monitor displays the total number of records in each of the 'Initial',
'Scheduled', and 'Invalid' statuses of the selected service. For more information on the
statuses of records, refer to the Presence Administrator Manual.
Be aware that the total records in each of the previously mentioned statuses will only be
shown for the currently enabled loads.
Running the Queue status command displays the list of the currently enabled outbound
services:
Selecting an outbound service
Select the service for which you want to monitor the queue status, and click the OK button.
The following window is displayed:
Presence Technology
Queue status monitor
As you can see, the total number of records of the enabled load in each one of the 'Initial',
'Scheduled', and 'Invalid' statuses are displayed.
The Refresh field allows you to specify the time (in seconds) to elapse before the information
of the monitor will be refreshed. The minimum time interval is 60 seconds. To force a refresh,
click the Refresh icon at any time.
Service status
The Service status monitor displays information about the status of the agents and the
contacts for a specific service.
Running the Service status command displays the list of the enabled inbound and outbound
services. Select the desired service, and click OK. The following window is displayed:
Presence Technology
Monitors
Service status monitor (predictive/progressive mode)
As said above, this monitor displays the data of the different contact and agent statuses, as
well as the graphical representation of the output data.
It is possible to modify the outbound type from the service status monitor itself. This is
applicable to progressive or predictive outbound services only. The parameters displayed in
the monitor are as follows:
Contact probability: Probability of contacting a customer. This is the ratio between the
number of calls answered by the customer and the total number of calls made by the
system, i.e., the probability to make a successful call (i.e., the customer picks up the
phone).
Automatic prediction: This parameter indicates whether the prediction has been set to
Automatic (predictive algorithm), i.e. enabled or disabled. In case this option is enabled,
you cannot select any option from the Outbound type field. Instead, an informative label
reporting the outbound type associated to the service is displayed. The Concurrent calls
option displays the number of calls the system is making concurrently to find a new
contact. For further information on the automatic prediction type, refer to Outbound,
Service parameters.
Outbound type: This parameter allows you to select the following items: Progressive
and Prediction by time.
The Prediction by time type displays the Contact probability and the Automatic
prediction fields. The provided blank field allows you to set a value for the seconds the
system must wait before generating a new predictive call. The Concurrent calls option
displays the number of calls the system is making concurrently to find a new contact.
Changes to any of the above mentioned outbound types will take effect when you click the
Apply button.

The following statuses are possible:

Contacts:
Contacts in VDN/CDN (inbound service): Contacts (calls) that entered into the
VDN/CDN but have not yet been queued in a skill (for example, when the customer is
listening to the welcome message for the service or when the call has not been queued
due to saturation of the service).
Contacts in progress (outbound service in predictive/progressive mode): Contacts
whose call has been initiated by the switch, which will either be picked up by a customer
or will be invalid.
Queued contacts: Contacts that have been queued in the skill and are now pending to
be serviced by an agent.
Ringing contacts: Contacts that were transferred to an agent so that the agent's
telephone is ringing at this moment and waiting to be answered.
Contacts answered: Contacts that are currently being answered by an agent.
Contacts in ACW: Contacts that were terminated by hanging up and for which the
agents are now in after-call work status (ACW) in order to complete the handling and
qualification process.
Agents:
Available agents: Agents who are available and waiting to receive a contact to handle.
Agents in a call: Agents who are currently answering a contact (via telephone, mail,
chat, etc.).
Agents in ACW: Agents who hung up the telephone for the contact they were handling
and who are now in after-call work status in order to complete the handling and
qualification process for the contact.
Agents in other: Agents who are currently servicing a contact or who are in after-call
work status (ACW), yet for another service than the one being monitored.
The Refresh field is used to specify the time (in seconds) to elapse before the information of
the monitor will be refreshed. The minimum time interval is 30 seconds. To force a refresh,
Services
The Services monitor displays information about the status of the contacts and the agents for
all selected services. Data for each status are broken down by totals and maximum times.
Running the Services command displays the list of the enabled inbound and outbound
services. You may select as many enabled services as you wish to monitor. Press the OK
button. The following window is displayed:

The information displayed in the monitor is grouped by:
Contacts:
In progress: Contacts initiated by the switch, which will either be picked up by a
customer or will be invalid.
Queued: Contacts pending to be serviced by an agent.
Ringing: Contacts that were transferred to an agent so that the agent's telephone is
ringing at this moment and waiting to be answered.
Answered: Contacts that are currently being answered by an agent.
ACW: Contacts that were terminated by hanging up and for which the agents are now in
after-call work status (ACW) in order to complete the handling and qualification process.
For each of the above items, the monitor displays the total number of contacts (Total) and
the maximum time (Max. T) spent in each status.
Agents:
Available agents [Available a.]: Agents who are available and waiting to receive a
contact to handle.
Agents in other [A. in other]: Agents who are currently servicing a contact or who are
in after-call work status (ACW), yet for another service than the one being monitored.
For each of the above items, the monitor displays the total number of contacts (Total) and
the maximum time (Max. T) spent in each status.
NOTE: The values displayed for the Answered and ACW statuses are common to
both contacts and agents.
Double-clicking on a service will display a monitor with information specific for that service
(refer to Monitors, Service status).
Productivity by service
The Productivity by service monitor displays statistical information retrieved from Presence
Statistics Server about a specific service. Therefore, this server must be up and running to
display the updated information. This monitor does not provide support for time zones,
therefore the internal calculations to get the data of the time ranges are based on the time
zone of the Presence system (which is the time zone set in the machine where Presence
Server has been installed).
Running the Productivity by service command displays the list of all inbound and outbound
Presence Technology

Service parameters
The following section describes how to display and modify some of the operating parameters
of an outbound service from Presence Supervisor.
To modify the parameters of an outbound service, run the Services command from the
Outbound drop-down sidebar. Next, the list of outbound services is displayed. Select the
service to modify:
Outbound services
The service parameters screen is divided into the following tabs: Maximums, Schedule,
Outbound type (available for progressive and predictive outbound services only) and Other.
Maximums
Presence Technology

27
Maximum values of an outbound service
This tab is used to specify the different outbound maximum values associated to the service.
For more information about maximum values, refer to the Outbound services, Configuration,
Maximums section of the Presence Administrator Manual.
Schedule
This tab is divided into two sections: Invalid and Scheduled.
Scheduling intervals for records qualified with the 'Invalid' code
The Invalid tab is used to specify the time interval that must elapse before the system
retries to call an outbound record with an 'Invalid' qualification code. This time interval is set
individually for each qualification code.
Presence Technology
28
General scheduling intervals
The Scheduled tab is used to configure the general parameters to schedule records, i.e.,
the time interval until the scheduled records expire as well as the default scheduling
interval. Additionally, the time intervals set for the custom scheduled qualification codes can
be modified. It is important to bear in mind that the rescheduling is performed while always
respecting the predefined scheduling hours for the service and customer.
For more information about the intervals of invalid records and concerning the scheduled
records, refer to the Outbound services, Configuration, Schedule section of the Presence
Administrator Manual. To know more about how to create custom scheduled qualification
codes, refer to the Common service options, Qualification codes section of that same
manual.
Outbound type
Outbound types of an outbound service
Presence Technology
Outbound
29
An outbound service may be configured so that the system makes calls in a number of
different modes, such as the progressive and predictive modes. Using these modes is
conditional to the service type (either progressive or predictive) previously defined from
Presence Administrator and to the Presence license purchased. In case the corresponding
licenses have been purchased, this tab will display both modes:
Progressive: In this outbound service mode, Presence Server generates the calls through
progressive dialing via the specified CTI link. The call is generated only when the contact
handling has been finished and the agent status is back to available, so that a one-to-one
relationship between an agent and a call is possible in this mode. Therefore, the number
of calls can never be higher than the number of agents for the service. The system only
transfers the call to the agent if it is answered on the other end, so that only useful
contacts are transferred to the agents, thereby optimizing their productivity. Contacts with
'Busy signal', 'No answer', 'Answering machine' and the rest of invalid records are not
transferred to the agents, and the system automatically assigns the appropriate
qualification code to them.
Predictive: In this outbound service mode, Presence Server generates the calls through
predictive dialing via the specified CTI link. The call is anticipated before the contact
handling has been finished and the agent status is back to available, so that a higher
number of calls than the number of agents available for the service is possible in this
mode. The system only transfers the call to the agent if it is answered on the other end, so
that only useful contacts are transferred to the agents, thereby optimizing their
productivity time. Contacts with 'Busy signal', 'No answer', 'Answering machine' and the
rest of invalid records are not transferred to the agents, and the system automatically
assigns the appropriate qualification code to them. When selecting this mode, the
following parameters need to be specified:
Prediction by: Predictive outbound mode. Two options are available: Time and
Automatic.
Time: A new predictive call is generated by the system when the specified time has
elapsed after a call is received by an agent. An estimation of the value to be entered
may be based on the average total time required by the agents to handle a call (talk
time plus after-call-work time). The Number of concurrent calls option allows you
to specify the number of calls the system must make concurrently to find a new
contact. The default value is 1.
Automatic: The operation of the automatic prediction is based on the
implementation of a predictive algorithm. The calculations carried out by this
algorithm are based upon two intervals: the current interval and the last valid
interval. A valid interval is any interval which the algorithm identifies as reliable
statistical data (for instance, a night shift interval with no agents connected to the
service is not an interval which the algorithm identifies as valid). The predictive
algorithm internally calculates the outbound mode, alternating the use of the
Progressive and Predictive by Time modes.
NOTE: It is recommended that agents connected to a service configured in
automatic predictive mode work exclusively for that service. That is, they
should not be simultaneously connected to other services (blending).
Otherwise, the handling of contacts from other services may interfere with
the statistics calculated by the predictive algorithm, and thus have a
negative effect on the service productivity.
The operation in Progressive mode is applicable under the following scenarios:
1. When the number of agents involved in a service is lower than 15.
2. For the first interval after enabling the automatic prediction, provided that no
Presence Technology
30
default values have been set for the interval.

For scenarios other than the above mentioned, the algorithm works in Prediction by
Time mode.
In the Prediction by Time mode, the algorithm calculates in real-time the predictive
dialing time and the number of concurrent calls. This is intended to achieve
maximum productivity and generate the lowest possible number of queued calls,
while considering the available time parameter set for the agent.
The algorithm configuration parameters are described below:
Interval time: This parameter allows you to specify a time value during which
the predictive algorithm accumulates statistical data. The default value is set to
1200 seconds. The minimum value you need to specify for this field is 600
seconds. You should bear in mind the following:
1. Setting a short interval value provides a quicker response to sudden changes
of the system, but the calculation of statistical data is less reliable.
2. Setting a long interval value provides a slower response to sudden changes of
the system, but the calculation of statistical data is more reliable.
Agent availability time: This is the time you wish the agent to remain available
between the end of the call handling and the time when a new call is received by
the agent. This parameter allows the user to specify how long the agent must
remain in the 'Available' status. The default value is 20 seconds.
Maximum number of concurrent calls: This option allows you to specify the
maximum number of calls the system must make concurrently to find a new
contact. The algorithm will never make a number of calls higher than the number
set as the maximum value. The default value is 5. The minimum value is 1.
Default values for the interval. The parameters available under this group box
allow you to set average start values when the predictive algorithm is enabled for
a predictive service.
Contact probability: Probability of contacting a customer. This is the ratio
between the number of calls answered by the customer and the total number
of calls made by the system, i.e., the probability to make a successful call (the
customer picks up the phone).
Handling time: Average contact handling time. This is the average time
spent by the agents in handling a contact, from the beginning to the end of
the handling process. This time is obtained by adding the agent talk time plus
the after-call work time.
Classification time: Average call classification time. This is the time elapsed
from the moment the switch receives a call until it detects whether the call is
answered by a customer or it is an invalid record ('Busy signal', 'No answer',
'Answering machine', 'Fax', 'Invalid generic reason', etc.).

Other parameters of an outbound service
This tab is used to configure several outbound service parameters:

The Alternate queues option is used to specify how many initial records are to be
inserted into invalid records. This option allows you to prioritize initial records over invalid
records. For more information about this parameter, refer to the Outbound services,
Configuration, Queues section of the Presence Administrator Manual.
When the Detect answering machine and fax option is enabled, the system tries to
detect automatic answering machines and fax machines. Calls answered by answering
machines are qualified as invalid calls with "Answering machine" and "Fax" status and are
not delivered (routed) to the agents.
The No. of rings for 'No answer' parameter is used to specify how many rings have to
sound before the system considers a call as 'No answer'.
Queue movements
Queue movements are performed when you want to modify manually the lifecycle of the
outbound records. Normally, outbound records have the 'Initial' status when they are loaded in
the service. As the records are contacted in the course of the service and before they are
completed their status changes to 'Invalid record', 'Scheduled' or 'Maximum'. By means of
queue movements you can revert records in the 'Invalid', 'Scheduled' or 'Maximum' status
back to the 'Initial' status. Also, records can be moved between loads or services.
The specific outbound service may be either enabled or disabled; the system allows queue
movements in both cases. However, it is recommended to perform queue movements during
production downtimes, because moving great numbers of records may have a significant
negative impact on the system performance which in turn affects the agents connected to the
system via Presence Agent.
Presence Supervisor provides only a limited set of basic queue movements. The complete set
of movements is available in Presence Administrator. For more information about queue
movements, refer to the Outbound services, Queues section of the Presence Administrator
Manual.
Presence Technology
32
To perform a queue movement, run the Queues command from the Outbound drop-down
sidebar, and select the service to which to apply the movement. The service may be either
enabled or disabled. After selecting the service, a window appears where you can choose
among the following three movements: Maximums to initial records, Invalid to initial
records, and Scheduled to initial records.
These movements allow you to specify whether you want the captured records to be included
in the movement or not, provided the call capturing option is enabled for the selected service.
When the Apply movement to captured records option is selected, the queue movement
takes all outbound records of the selected loads into account, regardless of whether they are
captured records or not. When this option is not selected, the movement only takes outbound
records into account that are not captured.
All queue movements have also the Restart maximum counters checkbox, that allows you
to automatically restart the maximum counters of the records affected by the applied
movement. Checking this box resets the maximum counters and the counting process starts
over again. By default, this option is enabled.
Finally, all three available queue movement types allow to perform a movement on a single,
on various or on all enabled loads of the selected service. The movement definition includes
the Apply only to the following loads option which allows this behavior. If this option is not
selected, the system applies the queue movement to all enabled loads of the service. When
this option is selected, all enabled loads of the service are displayed so that you can specify to
which load(s) the movement should be applied.
Maximum to initial records

outbound service parameters.

Invalid to initial records
Invalid to initial records
This movement is used to set back to the initial status those records that have been marked
as invalid when last called.
The Invalid records group box includes eight options: Busy signal, No answer,
Answering machine, Fax, Invalid generic reason, Abandoned call, Dropped call and
Phone no. does not exist. These are the eight types of invalid records that the Presence
system can handle. The invalid to initial records movement will be applied to the types of
invalid records that you select here.
Scheduled to initial records
Presence Technology
34
Scheduled to initial records
This movement is used to set back to the initial status those records that have been
scheduled manually by the agents from Presence Agent.
This movement provides support for time zones, therefore the date fields used as
parameters are based on the time zone set for the user of the Presence Supervisor session.
The Scheduled record data group box contains the options Apply to period and Apply to
time frame.
When the Apply to period option is checked, you can specify a start date in the Start
parameter for filtering the scheduled records to be moved. When the End option is also
checked, you can specify an end date. In that case, only scheduled records with a scheduled
date falling within the range specified by the Start and End date will be moved. When
specifying a Start date with no End date, only records that were scheduled for a date later
than the specified one will be moved.
When the Apply to time frame option is selected, you can use the Start time and End
time parameters to specify a time period for filtering the scheduled records to be moved.
Finally, if custom scheduled qualification codes have been set for the outbound service in
Presence Administrator, the Custom qualification codes group box will be displayed.
Within this option either all or some of the qualification codes can be selected to filter the
scheduled records when applying the movement. If the service has previously had custom
qualification codes that no longer exist, these records will be included in the Scheduled
option when performing the movement. For services that do not have custom scheduled
qualification codes, all scheduled records will be moved regardless of the code they were
qualified with.

Enable/disable loads
From Presence Supervisor, only loads of an outbound service can be enabled or disabled. The
remaining load management operations (i.e. creating, deleting, exporting, etc.) must be
performed using Presence Administrator. For more information, refer to the Outbound
services, Loads section of the Presence Administrator Manual.
To enable or disable the loads of an outbound service, run the Loads command from the
Outbound drop-down sidebar, and select the desired service. The service may be either

Contacts per hour report
The report contains the following information for each agent:

Connection time: Agent's total connection time to the system. Connection time includes
the period of time elapsed from the agent's starting Presence Agent and logging in to the
application in order to connect to the system until exiting the application.
Work time: Agent's total work time in the service. Work time includes the period of time
that elapses between the agent's starting the work session in Presence Agent by clicking
the Start button until stopping the session by clicking the Stop button. The work time is
determined by adding the times spent by the agent in the service with either of the
statuses 'Available', 'Talking', 'ACW', and 'Other'.
Contacts: Total number of (both useful and non-useful) contacts that were answered by
the agent.
Useful contacts [Useful C.]: Number of useful contacts answered by the agent.
Useful contacts per hour of connection time [UC/h (connec. t.)]: Number of useful
contacts answered by the agent per hour connected. This number is calculated by dividing
the number of answered useful contacts by the connection time.
Useful contacts per hour of work time [UC/h (work t.)]: Number of useful contacts
answered by the agent per hour of work. This number is calculated by dividing the number
of answered useful contacts by the work time.
Useful positive contacts [Positive UC]: Number of useful positive contacts answered
by the agent.
contacts.
Useful positive contacts per hour of connection time [+UC/h (connec. t.)]:
Number of useful positive contacts answered by the agent per hour connected. This
number is calculated by dividing the number of answered useful positive contacts by the
connection time.
Useful positive contacts per hour of work time [+UC/h (work t.)]: Number of useful
positive contacts answered by the agent per hour of work. This number is calculated by
dividing the number of answered useful positive contacts by the work time.
Presence Technology
Outbound
45
The parameters Useful contacts per hour and Useful positive contacts per hour provide
information about the performance of the agents relative to either connection or work time.
The Useful contacts per hour may increase mainly because the agent limits the call duration
for each contact to a minimum so that a higher number of contacts may be serviced per time
unit. The Useful positive contacts per hour may increase mainly because the agent
manages to complete more useful contacts with a positive qualification code. Useful positive
contacts are contacts completed (closed) with a service-specific qualification code that was
defined as positive in Presence Administrator.
At the bottom of the report, the total number of each item is stated.

Contacts per hour report

Work time: Agent's total work time in the service. Work time includes the period of time
that elapses between the agent's starting the work session in Presence Agent by clicking
the Start button until stopping the session by clicking the Stop button. The work time is
determined by adding the times spent by the agent in the service with either of the
statuses 'Available', 'Talking', 'ACW', and 'Other'.
Contacts: Total number of (both useful and non-useful) contacts that were answered by
the agent.
Useful contacts [Useful]: Number of useful contacts answered by the agent.
Useful contacts per hour of connection time [UC/h (connec. t.)]: Number of useful
contacts answered by the agent per hour connected. This number is calculated by dividing
the number of answered useful contacts by the connection time.
Useful contacts per hour of work time [UC/h (work t.)]: Number of useful contacts
answered by the agent per hour of work. This number is calculated by dividing the number
of answered useful contacts by the work time.
Useful positive contacts [Positive UC]: Number of useful positive contacts answered
by the agent.
contacts.
Useful positive contacts per hour of connection time [+UC/h (connec. t.)]:
Number of useful positive contacts answered by the agent per hour connected. This
Presence Technology
82
number is calculated by dividing the number of answered useful positive contacts by the
connection time.
Useful positive contacts per hour of work time [+UC/h (work t.)]: Number of useful
positive contacts answered by the agent per hour of work. This number is calculated by
dividing the number of answered useful positive contacts by the work time.
The parameters Useful contacts per hour and Useful positive contacts per hour provide
information about the performance of the agents relative to either connection or work time.
The Useful contacts per hour may increase mainly because the agent limits the call duration
for each contact to a minimum so that a higher number of contacts may be serviced per time
unit. The Useful positive contacts per hour may increase mainly because the agent
manages to complete more useful contacts with a positive qualification code. Useful positive
contacts are contacts completed (closed) with a service-specific qualification code that was
defined as positive in Presence Administrator.

Presence Technology
84
The axis of ordinates (y-axis) represents, for each hour of the day, the average number of
contacts generated per work hour by an agent of the service. This value is obtained by
dividing the total number of contacts generated in one hour by the number of hours worked by
all agents of the service at that same hour. If a range of days is specified, the average is
calculated from the accumulated number of contacts and work hours of each hour for all days
specified in the range.
The evaluation of the contacts per hour chart may help to optimize the range of the services
provided in the different time frames throughout the day. Due to holidays and bank holidays,
seasonal changes, climatic variations, etc., the boundary conditions for productivity may vary
which is why it is recommended to monitor those parameters continually.

Displaying a mail
Each mail folder, except for the 'Erroneous' folder, features a parameter to display mails within
the specified date range. By default, only mails for the last 15 days are shown. The Display
mails parameter allows you to select one of the following ranges: Last 15 days, Last 30
days, Last 60 days and Custom. Selecting the Custom option enables the Start date field,
used to specify the starting date from which you wish to display the mails. The status bar at
the bottom of the screen provides information on the number of mails in the selected folder,
as well as the date range for the displayed mails. This information is automatically refreshed in
the status bar as you perform some action (for example, when moving mails between folders,
deleting mails, etc.), or when selecting a new date range.
The upper toolbar area of the window includes a number of commands for managing the mails
in the different folders:
Open: This command is used to obtain more detailed information on the selected mail and
its content (refer to View mails).
Move to...: This command is used to move the mail to another folder, or to another
mailbox (applicable only to mails in the 'Unanswered' folder). It is possible to perform
multi-selection of the existing items, i.e., more than one mail can be moved at a time.

Presence Technology
128
moved.
If the mail is located in the 'Suspended' folder, it can be moved to the 'Unanswered'
folder in order to be handled again by any agent, or to the 'Deleted' folder to delete the
mail. Moving a suspended mail involves the deletion of the associated partial mail (if
any) from the 'Partial' folder.
If the mail is located in the 'Completed' folder, it can be moved to the 'Unanswered'
folder in order to be handled again by any agent.
If the mail is located in the 'Deleted' folder, it can be moved to the 'Unanswered' folder
in order to be handled again by any agent.
Outbox
If the mail is located in the 'Unsent' folder, it can be moved to the 'Deleted' folder to
delete the mail.
If the mail is located in the 'Sent' folder, it can be moved to the 'Unsent' folder so that
the system may send it again.
If the mail is located in the 'Erroneous' folder, it can be moved to the 'Unsent' folder so
that the system can retry sending it, or to the 'Sent' folder where it will be considered as
finished and sent.
If the mail is located in the 'Deleted' folder, it can be moved to the 'Unsent' folder so
that the system may send it again.

Templates/Predefined texts
This option allows the definition of templates for mails and predefined text elements that can
then be used by the agents for automating the incoming mail reply process.
A template is used to define the complete layout of an outgoing mail (reply) including its
subject, message body and attachments. Also, using fields of different types (such as text,
date, number, etc.) the message body can be formatted. When an agent makes use of a
template including fields, a value must be input for each field so that the fields are no longer
displayed in the message itself but are replaced with their corresponding values.
Predefined texts are used to create lines of text or text paragraphs that can be inserted
anywhere in the message body of the outgoing mail.
To manage the different templates and predefined text elements, run the Templates
command from the Mail drop-down sidebar. The following window is then displayed:
Template and predefined text management window

Recordings

The Presence system handles the recording of voice calls through the Presence Recording
module. This module provides two different operating modes: integrated with the Presence
suite using Presence Server, or as a standalone recorder (that is, separated from the rest of
the Presence product suite).
In Presence Recording integrated operating mode, access to the interface is achieved via
Presence Supervisor. For full information on the management of recordings from Presence
Supervisor, refer to information specific to the integration with Presence Server in the
Recording Supervisor Manual.

Dispatchers
The Dispatchers option is located in the Intelligent Routing drop-down sidebar, which is
only available if Presence Intelligent Routing is licensed. Presence Intelligent Routing Server
does not necessarily have to be started to run this option.
Call dispatchers provide the capacity to route calls handled by a strategy of Presence
Intelligent Routing to the different destinations of the selected dispatcher. This is done from
the specified routing percentages allocated to the dispatcher destinations.
Presence Supervisor allows you to define the call dispatchers and the routing percentages
allocated to the different destinations set for each of the existing dispatchers. Presence
Intelligent Routing is capable of deciding the routing of a call from the routing percentages
defined for the call dispatcher destinations. As far as Presence Intelligent Routing is
concerned, dispatchers are specified through the Call Dispatcher property of a strategy. For
more information on dispatchers in Presence Intelligent Routing, refer to the Strategy
properties and DispatchCall sections of the Presence Intelligent Routing Designer Manual.
The management of dispatchers allows you to specify a routing percentage based upon time
frame and day of the week. This is applicable to all destinations allocated to a particular
dispatcher.
You may create as many dispatchers as necessary, and as many destinations as needed for
each dispatcher.

The management screen consists of two clearly divided sections:
- The left pane displays a list of all existing dispatchers. This is the management area.
- The right grid panel displays -for the selected dispatcher- the destinations created and the
time frames set for each of these destinations. The first column displays the names of all
destinations. Each of the following 24 columns displays the distribution percentages for a
particular time frame. The Week day parameter allows you to select the day of the week for
which you wish to set the routing percentage for a particular destination.
NOTE: Please, note that the total value of percentages for a particular time frame,
day of the week and dispatcher must always add up to 100, otherwise the
system will display an error message. If the value of the added percentages of
all existing destinations is lower than 100, you may auto complete the
percentages up to 100 using the Complete option, available from the shortcut
menu displayed when right-clicking on any of the destinations.
The upper toolbar has the following options:
New dispatcher: This option allows you to create a new call dispatcher.
New destination: This parameter allows you to create a new destination associated with
a particular dispatcher. By default, the new destination is set to value '100' for each of the
time frames.
Edit: When the selected item is a dispatcher, this option allows you to modify its name.
When selecting any of the existing destinations the screen below is displayed, where you
must specify a name and two routing extensions (VDNs, phone numbers or internal
extensions) for the destination. In both cases, you may also access this option by
right-clicking on the applicable item.
Screen to edit an existing destination
Name: Descriptive name of the destination. Names of destinations within a particular

dispatcher cannot be duplicated.
Main: This extension will be used as destination if it is decided to route the call to
this destination.
Secondary: Alternative extension to be used for any other case.
Delete: When the selected item is a dispatcher, this option allows you to delete it. All
destinations and routing percentages allocated to the dispatcher will also be deleted. The
system will prompt the user for confirmation before the dispatcher is deleted. When any of
the existing destinations is selected, a dialog will be displayed prompting the user for
confirmation before the destination is deleted. In both cases, you may also access this
option by right-clicking on the applicable item.
Up: This parameter is available only for destinations. This allows you to move up one
position a destination through the list of destinations. You may also access this option by
right-clicking on the destination.
