1. EULA
Before your first use of VCC Live Mobile, you need to read and accept the End User License Agreement. If you have done so, press Accept & Continue.
If you have any questions regarding VCC Live’s EULA, please get in touch with our Customer Care Team.
2. Sign In
On the login screen, you need to submit your username, password, and account name for authentication to access your data.
3. Project Selection Screen
The project login screen allows you to select one primary project and one or more secondary projects. When you select secondary projects, you will receive calls from those projects as well.
TIP: Once you have selected a primary project, you can quickly select or deselect all the other projects on your list as secondary projects with this dedicated button:
4. The Layout of VCC Live Mobile
When you log in to VCC Live Mobile, there are four tabs you can use to navigate your way through the app. These are:
- Dialer
- Phone
- History
- Settings
Let’s take a look at what each of these screens can do.
Note: The Dialer tab only displays whether you are in predictive or manual dialing mode.
4.1 Phone
The Phone screen is the main work area of VCC Live Mobile. Here you can manage calls that are initiated by the power/predictive dialer, or accept incoming calls. When accepting an incoming call, the project and queue name appear with the call, making it clear to the agent where the incoming call belongs.
While handling a call, the actions listed below are available:
- Mute or unmute yourself
- Put the call on hold
- Transfer the call
- Set a disposition (In case of a callback disposition, you can set the time and date of the callback.)
- Take notes
Note: It is possible to initiate calls by entering phone numbers manually. In such cases, these calls are considered as custom calls and do not require to have a disposition when the call ends.
To use VCC Live Mobile, ‘New records handling’ in the selected projects needs to be set as ‘Automatic’ or ‘Automatic – Looking up Records’.
When the call ends, you still have the option to set the disposition and take notes in the Afterwork status – this works the same way as in the standalone VCC Live application.
The Phone screen has 3 tabs: the Keypad, Extensions, and Agents tab.
On the Keypad tab, you can manually enter a phone number, using the virtual keypad on the screen.
On the Extensions tab, you select one of the extensions from the list and initiate a call to that extension.
On the Agents tab, you can select one of the available agents from the list and call that agent.
On the Phone book tab, you can call a number in the phone book.
4.1.1 Transferring a Call
While you are on a call, you can transfer a call by clicking on the Call transfer icon:
The Transfer call to… window then appears, which works similarly to the Phone tab.
Here you can:
- Transfer the call to a number you dial in
- Transfer the call to an extension number
- Transfer the call to another agent
- Transfer the call to a queue
- Transfer the call to a phone number in the phone book
In all of the above cases, you can also use the search function.
When transferring the call to another agent, you can decide to either use the attended transfer or the blind transfer option:
Attended transfer means that before transferring the call, you can speak with the other agent to see if they can accept the transfer.
Blind transfer refers to the instant transfer of a call to another agent without prior discussion.
Once the transfer takes place, you can set a disposition to the call in the Afterwork part.
Note: Agents can transfer a call to any queue that belongs to a project that they are logged into as either primary or secondary. Transferring to a queue is possible without an agent being currently available to receive a call in it.
4.1.2 Agent Statuses / Breaks
Agent statuses/break codes represent non-work-related periods of time, such as lunch breaks or coffee breaks. Using these statuses allows agents to leave their workstations, but still have their time tracked and measured, so supervisors can plan projects accordingly.
To choose a break code from the agent interface, follow these steps:
- Click the arrow button at the top of the plugin
- Select a break code from the drop-down menu
- Once your break is over, resume work by clicking on the arrow button again, and select Available.
4.2 History
The History screen lists all inbound and outbound calls you have had in the past. The list includes additional information regarding the call event, such as set disposition, callback time, and date.
The direction of the call is indicated by the small arrow next to the log entry:
- The blue arrow indicates an outbound call
- The green arrow pointing in the opposite direction, indicates an inbound call
The History screen also groups your call log based on the time it took place. For example, you can see the calls you made earlier that day in a separate group from the other calls that were handled earlier than that day.
The History screen loads the last 50 history logs on the screen. If you need to see more, then by pressing the “Load more” button, you can see more call logs. The History refreshes itself every few seconds, so it makes sure your History section is always up-to-date.
Note: Call History only appears for the Agents when they have the right to view the CDR Log functionality.
4.3 Settings
In the Settings screen, you can adjust your Audio settings or visit the General and About sections.
- The system detects the available microphones and speakers. In the Audio settings section, you can select the microphone and speakers you want to use. You can select a secondary speaker as well, which will be used to play a ringing sound when you receive an inbound or dialer call
- In the General settings, you can change the language of the solution or select to minimize the Plugin when the call starts.
- The About section includes the End-User License Agreement and general information about VCC Live.
