Manage Calls

Unless constrained by their role and department, administrators have full access to all tools under Unified CCE Adminstration > Manage > Call. Supervisors do not have access to these tools.

Bucket Intervals

Configure bucket intervals to report on how many calls are handled or abandoned during specific, incremental time slots. Each bucket interval has a maximum of nine configurable time slots, called Upper Bounds. Upper Bounds are ranges measured in seconds to segment and capture call-handling activity. You can run reports that show calls answered and calls abandoned for these intervals.

For example, if your goal is to have calls handled within 1 minute, you might set up Upper Bounds for intervals that show how many calls are handled in less than or more than 1 minute. Intervals might be for 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 80 seconds, 120 seconds, 150 seconds, 180 seconds, and 240 seconds. Using these intervals, you can see if calls are being answered within 1 minute or if callers are waiting longer. The intervals also give you insight into how long callers are willing to wait before abandoning a call. Perhaps many callers do not abandon a call until they have waited for two minutes. This might indicate that you can modify your goal.

You can associate bucket intervals with call types, skill groups, and precision queues.

The system automatically creates a built-in bucket interval, which you cannot edit or delete.

Add and Maintain Bucket Intervals

Procedure

Step 1

Navigate to Unified CCE Administration > Manage > Bucket Intervals.

Step 2

Click New to open the New Bucket Interval window.

Step 3

Complete the following fields:

Field Required? Description

Name

yes

Enter a name for the call type using a maximum of 32 characters.

Upper Bound 1

yes

Enter a value in the Upper Bound 1 field, using a number greater than 0 and less than 2147483647. This value is interpreted as seconds. For example, your entry of 10 in this field creates an Upper Bound 1 interval with a time slot of 0 to 10 seconds.

Upper Bound 2 - 9

no

The value for each Upper Bound must be higher than the value of the previous Upper Bound. If you leave an Upper Bound field blank, all remaining fields must be blank.

For example: To configure three intervals that span 10 seconds each and then have all other calls grouped into an interval that extends beyond your third defined interval, enter the following values:

  • Upper Bound 1 interval: 10 This time slot is 0 to 10 seconds. Reports will show the total number of calls answered and calls abandoned from 0 to 10 seconds.

  • Upper Bound 2 interval: 20 This time slot is any time greater than 10 seconds and less than 20 seconds. Reports will show the total number of calls answered and calls abandoned between 10 and 20 seconds.

  • Upper Bound 3 interval: 30 This time slot is any time greater than 20 seconds and less than 30 seconds. Reports will show the total number of calls answered and calls abandoned between 20 and 30 seconds.

  • All other Upper Bound fields blank. Reports will show the total number of calls answered and calls abandoned after 30 seconds.

Step 4

Click Save to return to the List screen, where a message confirms the successful creation of the bucket interval.

Call Type

Call types categorize calls. Based on call type, the system maps a dialed number to a routing script that ultimately sends the call to the appropriate destination. Consider the call types you need to create to meet your reporting needs, and configure a separate call type for each type of call treatment that you want to offer.

For example, you might create call types for the following:

  • Calls answered by agents

  • Calls abandoned at the VRU

  • Calls that reroute when the agent does not answer

  • Calls that are transferred and conferenced

  • Outbound Option calls

  • Calls that require supervisor assistance

Add and Maintain Call Types

Procedure

Step 1

Navigate to Unified CCE Administration > Manage > Call Types.

Step 2

Click New to open the New Call Type window.

Step 3

Complete the following fields:

Field Required? Description

Name

yes

Enter a name for the call type using a maximum of 32 characters. This name must be unique among call types in the system.

Description

no

Enter a maximum of 255 characters to describe the call type.

See Native Character Sets.

Service Level Threshold

no

This value is used in reports to identify the percentage of calls that are answered within that time threshold, enabling you to see whether agents are meeting the target goal. The field defaults to the System Default .

To select a different service level threshold, enter a value in seconds, from 0 to 2,147,483,647.

Service Level Type

no

Indicates how the system software calculates the service level. The field defaults to the system default To override the system default for this call type, select one of these other options from the drop-down menu:

  • Ignore Abandoned Calls: This selection excludes abandoned calls from the service level calculation.

  • Abandoned Calls have Negative Impact: Select this if you want only calls that are answered within the service level threshold time to be counted as treated calls. The service level will be negatively affected by calls that abandon within the service level time.

  • Abandoned Calls have Positive Impact: Select this if you consider a call abandoned within the service level threshold time as a treated call. Abandoned calls will have a positive impact on the service level.

Bucket Interval

no

Bucket intervals appear in call type reports and display the number of calls answered and abandoned for different time intervals.

Configure the bucket interval associated with this call type.

The field defaults to the System Default .

To select a different bucket interval:

  • Click the magnifying glass icon to display Select Bucket Interval.

  • Click the row to select a bucket interval and close the List.

Step 4

Click Save to return to the List window, where a message confirms the successful creation.

Dialed Number

Dialed numbers are string values used to select the appropriate routing script so that a voice call or a nonvoice task (such as an email or a request for a web chat) can be delivered to an agent. Each dialed number string is configured with a routing type and a Media Routing Domain and can be mapped to a call type.

A typical call center requires multiple dialed number strings. In addition to creating dialed number strings for each telephone number that customers can use to reach you, you must set up dialed number strings for the following reasons:

  • So that an agent can transfer to, or conference in, another agent

  • For requery on no answer (RONA)

  • For supervisor/emergency assist calls

Add and Maintain Dialed Numbers

This procedure explains how to add a dialed number.

Procedure

Step 1

Navigate to Unified CCE Administration > Manage > Dialed Numbers.

Step 2

Click New to open the New Dialed Numbers window.

Step 3

Complete the following fields:

Field Required? Description

Dialed Number String

yes

The value used to route the call or direct the nonvoice task. Enter a string value that is unique for the routing type, maximum of 25 characters.

Description

no

Enter a maximum of 255 characters to describe the dialed number string.

Department

yes (for departmental administrators)

A departmental administrator must select one department from the popup list to associate with this dialed number. The list shows all this administrator's departments.

When a departmental administrator selects a department for the dialed number, the popup list for call type includes global call types and call types in the same department as the dialed number.

A global administrator can leave this field as Global (the default), which sets the dialed number as global (belonging to no departments). A global administrator can also select a department for this Dialed Number.

When an administrator changes the department, selections for call type are cleared if the selections do not belong to the new department or the global department.

Site

yes

The Site field displays Main by default.

To add a different site:

  1. Click the magnifying glass icon to display the list of sites.

  2. Select the required site.

Routing Type

yes

From the drop-down menu, select one of the following options: (Options may vary depending on the PG types configured on the selected site.)

  • External Voice: This option is available if the remote site is configured to VRU PG. Select this option for dialed number strings that apply to voice calls coming from Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP). These calls are referred to as external because they typically come from outside of the enterprise through a gateway. External Voice is the selection for calls that come in from customers and must be answered by agents or sent to the VRU.

  • Internal Voice: This option is available if the remote site is configured to Agent PG. Select this option for dialed number strings that can be called from a Cisco Unified Communications Manager phone. These calls must have a route point on Unified Communications Manager that corresponds to the internally dialed number. They are referred to as internal because they can be accessed only by Unified Communications Manager.

    Internal Voice is used for dialed numbers that agents use to transfer calls to other agents, to enable the system to redirect calls internally when the agent does not answer, and to direct a call from an agent to a supervisor for assistance.

    Dialed numbers with the routing type Internal Voice appear on the Supervisor Script Dialed Number list when you create or edit a team.

  • Outbound Voice: This option is available if the remote site is configured to Multichannel PG. Select this option for dialed number strings that are used by the Cisco Outbound Option Dialer. These dialed number strings are referenced and used to route calls to agents or to VRU scripts in the Campaign Skill Group Selection.

The following multichannel routing types are available if you have configured the peripherals for the multichannel machines using Peripheral Gateway Setup tool, and added external multichannel machines to the System Inventory:

  • SocialMiner: Select this option for dialed number strings that originate from SocialMiner and are routed to an agent who interacts with a customer by Agent Request.

  • Enterprise Chat and Email: Select this option for dialed number strings that originate from Enterprise Chat and Email and are routed to an agent who interacts with a customer by email or by web chat.

  • 3rd Party Multichannel: Select this option for dialed number strings that originate from a third-party application and are routed to an agent who interacts with a customer by email or by web chat.

See the Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise Features Guide at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/customer-collaboration/packaged-contact-center-enterprise/tsd-products-support-series-home.html for information about configuring the peripherals using Peripheral Gateway Setup.

Media Routing Domain

no

The Media Routing Domain associated with the dialed number. Media Routing Domains (MRDs) organize how requests for media are routed. The system routes calls to agents who are associated with a particular communication medium; for example, voice or email. The selection of Routing Type determines what appears in this field.

  • If the Routing Type is External Voice, Internal Voice, or Outbound Voice, the Media Routing Domain is Cisco_Voice and you cannot change it.

  • If the Routing Type is Multichannel, click the magnifying glass icon to display the Select Media Routing Domain popup window.

Call Type

no

Use the drop-down menu to select a valid call type to map to this dialed number strings. Associating a dialed number with a call type ensures appropriate routing and affects reporting. The default is the system default set in System > Settings

To select a different call type:

  • Click the magnifying glass icon to display the Select Call Type popup window.

  • Click a row to make a selection and close the list.

Step 4

Click Save to return to the List screen, where a message confirms the successful creation.

Expanded Call Variables

Calls can carry data with them as they move through the system. This data, called expanded call variable data, is embedded within the call and is visible to the agent on the agent desktop. Expanded call variable data can assist the agent in working with the caller.

The expanded call variable can be set or updated by Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP), by Unified CCE scripting, or by an agent who is transferring the call.

  • If the call is at Unified CVP for VRU treatment, the call context is exchanged between Unified CVP and Unified CCE.

  • If the call is at an agent, the call context is exchanged between the desktop and Unified CCE.

Note that this is a two-way exchange: in some cases the expanded call variable data is sent to Unified CCE from Unified CVP or the agent desktop, and in some cases the data is sent by Unified CCE based on script configuration to Unified CVP or the agent desktop.

Built-in expanded call variables are identified by the BuiltIn check box on the Edit Expanded Call Variable window. You cannot delete these expanded call variables. You can create new expanded call variables subject to certain sizing constraints.

Add and Maintain Expanded Call Variables

Procedure

Step 1

Navigate to Unified CCE Administration > Manage > Expanded Call Variables to open the List of Expanded Call Variables.

The window tracks the number of bytes used by the expanded call variables, measured against the system total and the CTI Server total.

Step 2

Click New to open the New Expanded Call Variable page.

Step 3

Complete the following fields:

Field Required? Description

Name

yes

The name of the expanded call variable, prepended by user. This field allows a maximum of 32 characters. (This maximum includes the four characters in user.)

Description

no

Enter up to 255 characters to describe the expanded call variable. There is no restriction of characters.

See Native Character Sets.

Max Length

yes

Specifies the maximum number of characters allowed in the value that will be stored in the expanded call variable value. The range is from 1 to 210 characters.

Array

no

This check box is unchecked by default to indicate that the expanded call variable is scalar. Check the check box to configure the expanded call variable as an array, not a scalar.

Maximum Array Size

no

This field appears when Array is checked. Use it to indicate the maximum number of elements (1-255) in the array.

Enabled

no

Checking this check box indicates that the expanded call variable is currently enabled—it can be used in scripts and appears on the agent desktop.

Persistent

no

Checking this check box indicates that data for this expanded call variable will be written to the historical database; specifically to the Termination Call Detail (TCD) and Route Call Detail (RCD) tables. Note that storing excessive call variable data can degrade historical database performance. Only persistent call variables are written to the historical database. Nonpersistent variables can be used in routing scripts, but are not written to the database.

Cisco Provided

—

This check box is display-only, and appears when editing existing built-in or custom expanded call variables. The New Expanded Call Variable window does not include this check box.

Bytes Required (if enabled)

—

This display-only field indicates the number of bytes required to store the expanded call variable in the system.

Bytes Required in CTI Server (if enabled)

—

This display-only field is similar to Bytes Required, above, but applies to the CTI Server. In CTI Server, the number of bytes required includes the length of the expanded call variable name.

Total Bytes Required for Enabled Variables: # of maximum 2000 bytes (# bytes remaining)

—

This display-only field keeps a running total of the number of bytes used by all expanded call variables.

Total Bytes Required for Enabled Variables in CTI Server: # of maximum 2500 bytes (# bytes remaining)

—

This display-only field keeps a running total of the number of bytes used by all expanded call variables in CTI Server.

Step 4

Save the expanded call variable and return to the List window, where a message confirms the successful creation.

What to do next

If you change the configuration of any ECC variable, restart the Unified CVP Call Server or VRU PIM to force a renegotiation of the ECC variables.

Sizing Expanded Call Variables

Expanded call variable usage impacts PG, Router, and Logger bandwidth. The Expanded Call Variables List, Add, and Edit windows track the space that your expanded call variables are consuming, as compared with the system maximums.

The maximum amount of space that all expanded call variables can take up in Unified Contact Center cannot exceed 2000 bytes.

Each expanded call variable in Unified CCE is calculated using the following formula:

  • For scalar: 5 + Maximum_Length

  • For array: 5 + (1 + Maximum_Length) * (Maximum_Array_Size)

The maximum amount of space that all expanded call variables can take up in CTI Server cannot exceed 2500 bytes. Each expanded call variable in CTI Server is calculated using the following formula:

  • For a scalar variable, the size is length of Name + Maximum Length + 4.

  • For an array variable, the size is (length of Name + Maximum Length + 5) * Maximum Array Size.

Media Routing Domains

Media Routing Domains (MRDs) organize how requests for each communication medium, such as voice and email, are routed to agents.

An agent can handle requests from multiple MRDs. For example, an agent can belong to a skill group in an MRD for email and to a skill group in an MRD for voice calls.

Configure at least one MRD for each communication medium your system supports. You do not need to configure an MRD for voice; the Cisco_Voice MRD is built in.

You can add and update only Cisco_Task MRDs using the Unified CCE Administration Media Routing Domain tool.


Note

To add or update Multichannel MRDs for Enterprise Chat and Email, use the Configuration Manager Media Routing Domain List tool.

Add and Maintain Media Routing Domains

This procedure explains how to add a Multichannel Media Routing Domain (MRD). For information on maintaining MRDs, see Update and Delete.

Procedure

Max in Queue

Enter the maximum number of tasks allowed to be queued at one time.

Max Time in Queue

Enter the maximum amount of time, in seconds, a task can be queued.

Step 4

Click Save.

Network VRU Scripts

Not all calls are delivered directly to agents. Some are sent to a Voice Response Unit (VRU) instead of, or before, they are sent to an agent. In the Packaged CCE deployment, the VRU is Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (Unified CVP). You must configure network VRU scripts to direct Unified CVP on how to handle the treatment of individual calls, using Unified CVP microapplication functions.

There are six Unified CVP microapplication types:

  • Play Media (PM): Retrieves and plays a media file such as a welcome.wav or an agent greeting.

  • Play Data (PD): Retrieves and plays data of various types, such as numbers, characters, time of day, or currency.

  • Get Digits (GD): Plays a media file and retrieves digits from the caller.

  • Menu (M): Plays media menu file and retrieves a single telephone keypad entry from the caller.

  • Get Speech (GS): A "GS,Server,V" script is provided with Packaged CCE and appears in the List of Network VRU Scripts.

  • Capture: Allows you to trigger the storage of current call data at various points.

Add and Maintain Network VRU Scripts

Procedure

Step 1

Navigate to Unified CCE Administration > Manage > Network VRU Scripts to open the List of Network VRU Scripts.

Step 2

Click New to open the New Network VRU Script window. Complete the following fields:

Field Required? Description

Routing Type

yes

Retain the default (Voice) or select Multichannel from the drop-down menu. Voice routes the script to Unified CVP. Multichannel routes the script to Enterprise Chat and Email (ECE).

VRU Script Name

yes

Enter the name of the script as it is known on the Unified CVP. See VRU Script Name Parameters.

Configuration Param

no

A string used by Unified CVP to pass additional parameters to the IVR Service. The content of the string depends on the microapplication to be accessed.

RNA Timeout

yes

Enter a number to indicate the number of seconds for the system to wait for a response from the routing client after directing it to run the script. The default value is 180 seconds. Valid values are 1 to 2147483647. The destination phone rings until it exceeds the ring-no-answer (RNA) timeout setting.

Interruptible

no

Checked by default, this check box indicates whether or not the script can be interrupted; for example, when an agent becomes available to handle the call.

Step 3

Click Save to return to the List window, where a message confirms the successful creation.

  • Use double commas (,,) to skip a parameter; Unified CVP will supply the default.

The Play Media position sequence is PM,media file name,media library type,Uniqueness value.

The Play Data position sequence is PD,Data Playback Type,Uniqueness value.

The Get Digits position sequence is GD,media file name,media library type,Uniqueness value.

The Menu position sequence is M,media file name, media library type,Uniqueness value.

Parameter Name

Used For

Notes

Media File Name options are as follows:

  • A filename--(for instance, a .wav file)

  • (number 1-10)--Unified CVP plays the file in the corresponding Call.PeripheralVariable file.

    For example, a value of 2 instructs Unified CVP to look at Call.PeripheralVariable2.

    If you use the (number 1-10) option and set the Media Library Type to "V," Unified CVP plays the external VoiceXML file specified in the corresponding Call.PeripheralVariable.

    If you set the value to (no value) and set the Media Library Type to "A" or "S", the IVR Service creates VoiceXML without a media prompt.

  • a--Unified CVP automatically generates the media file name for agent greeting when this option is specified. The filename is based on GED-125 parameters received from Unified ICM. This option is only valid if the Media Library Type is not set to V.
