This topic is part of the manual Agent Workspace Agent's Guide for version Current of Agent Workspace.

A contact is a person that your company does business with. Your company has information about that person that you can manage and use to do your job. An interaction is a communication with the contact over one or more channels, such as Voice or Digital, such as Chat or Email, and the tools that help you address the contact's needs and the needs of your company. Agent Workspace provides tools that you can use to manage previous interactions with a contact (the contact's interaction history, your History, and your company's interaction database).

Important
Due to continual changes to Agent Workspace, screen shots in this manual might show interface elements that are not yet available for this product or might not accurately reflect what you can access in the product when you use it.

How do I search through previous interactions with customers?

You can access customer interactions in the Contact Directory and in the History tab of an active interaction.

You can access customer interactions in three ways:

  • The My History view lets you browse your interactions.
  • The Contact Directory view lets you browse all interactions with a customer or team member.
  • The Interaction Search view lets you browse the complete interaction database using either a Quick Search or an Advanced Search.

Contact management videos

The following videos introduce you to some of the basics of contact and interaction management, but be sure to click the links on this page to read about contact and interaction management in detail.

Managing Contacts

Overview of the Contact Directory

Finding Interactions

Agent Workspace provides three different tabs in the Connect group that you can use to find interactions in the Interaction Database:

  • My History: Search for interactions that you have worked on.
  • Interaction Search: Search for interactions that anyone has worked on.
  • Contact History: Search for interactions of a particular contact.

Opening Completed and in Universal Queue interactions

In environments where Genesys Intelligent Workload Distribution is used, your account might be configured to enable you to open interactions that have already been completed (marked Done) or are In Progress but are still in the Universal Queue. This capability might be restricted to certain media types, such as Workitems or Email.

If this capability is enabled, you can open In Progress (In Universal Queue) interactions and re-open Done (Completed) interactions in the following views:

In the image below, an agent selects a Workitem interaction in the Interaction Search tab. The Status of the interaction is In Progress. The Details tab displays information about this Workitem, including the State property. In this example, the state is In Universal Queue.

A screenshot of the Interaction Search tab showing the state of a selected In Progress workitem as In Universal Queue. The Open button is available.

If the agent opens the interaction, it can be saved in the agent's personal workbin. The state is updated to Assigned to <Agent Name> - in <Workbin Name> workbin.

In the image below, an agent selects a Workitem interaction in the Interaction Search tab. The Status of the interaction is Done. The Details tab displays information about this Workitem, including the State property. In this example, the state is Completed.

A screenshot of the Interaction Search tab showing the state of a selected Done workitem as Completed. The Re-Open button is available.

If the agent re-opens the interaction, the agent can saved the interaction in their personal workbin. The state is updated to Assigned to <Agent Name> - in <Workbin Name> workbin.

Finding interactions related to the current interaction

When the Open Interactions In Universal Queue and Re-Open Completed Interactions functionality is enabled, you can find and open or re-open interactions related to the contact of your current interaction. Use the History tab in the Contact tab of an active interaction to find related interactions. For example, you might be handling an Email interaction and need to find and attach a Workitem with the In Progress or Done status and attach it to the Email interaction.

In the image below, an agent selects a Workitem interaction in the History tab of the current interaction. The Status of the interaction is Done. The Details tab displays information about this Workitem, including the State property. In this example, the state is Completed. The agent can click Re-Open to attach the workitem to the current Email interaction.
