End User Productivity Features

InGenius decreases call handle time with call logging features designed to improve agent

productivity and standardize call reports. With InGenius Connector Enterprise 6.0 InGenius

has extended the call log capability to make call logging even faster and reports easier to

read.

1 Click to Create allows a user to Pre-fill or Create new records dynamically

InGenius introduced a new Click to Create feature that improves productivity by reducing

case creation clicks by more than 60%. When a case is created, the record is pre-filled with

subject, comments, contact information from a popped record, and then saved and opened in

edit mode. InGenius automatically saves and relates the call activity to the case for accurate

reporting.

And since the case is saved, then opened in edit mode, the Agent can make additional notes if

required. When the Agent hangs up, the case information is saved, and the call results are

automatically saved and attached.

4

Agents who have a workflow requirement to create a case or incident for every call can

create the record with two clicks. InGenius automatically saves and relates the call activity to

the case for accurate reporting.

The InGenius click-to-create feature reduces call handle time, reduces data entry errors and

allows the Agent to focus on delivering exceptional customer service.

For more information, please watch the video https://www.ingenius.com/resource/click-create-ingenius/

2 Efficient Call Result Logging

InGenius has introduced a feature designed to minimize wrap up time and improve overall call

handle time. With InGenius Connector 6.0, Agents can disposition a call while the call is

active. This feature integrates seamlessly into a workflow that requires agents to move

quickly to the next call.

The administrator can select the

option to show dispositions from

with the Runtime Admin. This

feature will be off by default.

The user will observe that the

“Select Call Result” option is

available to them while the call

is in progress.

3 Extended Call Log Notes Field

End users now have the ability to enter and view exhaustive notes without the need to scroll.

The Agent is able to personalize the size of call log note field, and will observe that the call

log field size persists across tabs and sessions.

4 Read-only Call Log Notes

InGenius introduces new call log template capability that allows one-click entry for call log

notes, resulting in faster note creation and standardized report data. This means

Administrators can create read-only call log templates such as “Left Voicemail %DATE%”. The

agent would then be able to simply select the correct call log template button to drop the

following information into the note “Left Voicemail 13/12/2017”.

No additional information can be added to the note if the Admin has selected ‘Lock the call

log notes’ ensuring that the reports are standardized, and that sensitive customer information

does not get added to the customer database.

With this addition the Administrator now has three options for call logging templates. They

can allow Agents to create their own templates, they can drop specific information that is

then editable by the Agent, or they can drop specific information that cannot be edited by

the Agent.

Enterprise Administration

InGenius has created an update to the licensing management and granularity of permissions

on an organizations basis.

5 License Optimization

InGenius provides a time-saving capability for Admins, so that they do not need to manually

determine which users have been inactive. The new License Optimization feature ensures

that the customers are maximizing their investment by removing licenses from inactive users.

Administrators can choose to remove inactive users after a specific interval (2 - 52 weeks).

The program runs nightly and is managed from the Runtime Admin Users tab | Manage Users |

Advanced View.

6 Per Group Administration

Organizations can now restrict or grant admin rights to specific groups of users. This allows

different administrators to manage settings like speed dials, call log templates and call

dispositions for different teams within an organization. The Super Admin can optionally assign

admin access to the configuration tab, and the user and licensing tab for all users in the

system.

ServiceNow Features

7 Screen Transfer Support for ServiceNow ITSM and CSM

InGenius introduces Screen Transfer support to ServiceNow ITSM and CSM customers. Screen

Transfer gives a warm start to all calls for a better customer experience, and more efficient

hand off between reps. Information captured and logged by a rep is easily transferred to a

subsequent agent so that customers never have to repeat themselves.

To see how Screen Transfer works, please watch the Video https://www.ingenius.com/resource/screen-transfer/.

8 InGenius Connector Enterprise integration for ServiceNow & Genesys PureEngage

InGenius now connects Genesys PureEngage to ServiceNow®

Customer Service Management or IT Service Management

applications and helps support centers increase agent productivity, call capacity and overall

customer satisfaction.

The new InGenius integration for ServiceNow and Genesys PureEngage supports screen pop,

click-to-dial, automated call logging and other standard InGenius features within the

ServiceNow interface.

Mitel MiVoice Business Features

9 Blind Transfer Support

Blind Transfer support for MiVoice Business allows an agent to quickly transfer calls to another

agent. Blind transfer may be used with screen transfer so all relevant data is captured and

passed on to the receiving agent.

10 Screen Transfer Improvements

In Mitel MiVoice Business environments, screen transfer now includes related records as

information included in the screen transfer. The transferred data allows the receiving agent

to quickly access case details and related records at a glance.
