Access to User Interfaces

GenesysPortal.png

Genesys Portal is the main access point to all Genesys Multicloud CX user interfaces (UIs).

These interfaces are divided into three categories, which you can select by clicking the corresponding category links at the top of the Portal. The categories are:

User interfaces – User interfaces are standard Contact Server user interfaces, such as Agent Workspace, Workforce Management, and Reporting. These interfaces can be used by contact-center agents, supervisors, and managers.

Administration interfaces – Administration interfaces can be used by contact-center administrators, supervisors, and managers to configure users and applications based on their roles.

Support interfaces – Support interfaces are used by authorized contact-center administrators to submit requests with Genesys Customer Care, and to view the service status and schedule of service for Genesys applications.

User Documentation and eLearning are accessed via the Help (?) menu, located in the top-right corner of Genesys Portal.

Application Application Description
Agent Workspace Agent Workspace provides agents and knowledge workers with non-intrusive access to the information, processes, and applications they need to perform their jobs more efficiently.
Agent Scripting Administration Agent Scripting Administration is a scripting tool that is used to prompt agents throughout the call-handling process with customers.
Designer Genesys Designer helps you to design assisted service or Routing applications, as well as self-service or Interactive Voice Response (IVR) applications.
Genesys Customer Care Genesys Customer Care is a portal for Genesys customers to locate resources, tools and information that will aid in resolving your issues, including the ability to create and track tickets based on Salesforce.
IVR Administration IVR Administration assists your business with providing cost-effective customer interactions 24/7 for voice, video, and web-based interactions.
Outbound Outbound Contact is an automated system for creating, modifying, running, and reporting on outbound campaigns for proactive customer contact. Outbound Contact Server (OCS) provides automated dialing and call-progress detection, so that an agent is required only when a customer is connected. OCS also intelligently uses customer data to ensure that campaigns are contacting the right customers, not just a large number of customers.
Agent Setup Agent Setup helps you to manage your user accounts and configure settings to maintain your contact center.
Recording Recording provides recording control via a host of integrations across the suite. The recorded segments are linked to the contact's account history, and include information about date and time, duration, and the parties involved for each segment.
Reporting Reporting assists contact-center managers in:
  • Assessing the day-to-day operations of their contact center resources for the routing

and handling of interactions.

  • Better tuning resources to increase utilization and efficiency.
  • Benchmarking key performance indicators of quality and service.
  • Identifying corrective actions to help reduce costs and increase service.
Reporting Administration Reporting Administration is used to provision new users for Reporting.
Workforce Management Workforce Management (WFM) provides tools to enable contact-center managers to better manage their workforce. WFM enables managers to create accurate staffing plans that take into account projected contact volumes and average handle times, as well as the various skills and skill levels of the agent population. Contact center managers can achieve these goals, by using WFM's advanced forecasting, scheduling, and real-time adherence capabilities.
