Activity
Bright Pattern Contact Center enables your contact center to define data forms for interaction handling. If a form is defined for a particular service, it will be displayed by the Agent Desktop application when a corresponding interaction is distributed to the agent. Activity forms can be prefilled with data from third-party databases (via scenarios) and from calling lists.
Activity forms associated with outbound campaigns can also be used for new data entry during active interaction handling and/or after-call work (ACW). Filled-out forms can be transferred between agents working on the same interactions. The data collected via editable forms can be stored as part of the campaign results and is available for off-line processing.
Note: Some service configuration changes that affect agent behavior are not picked up dynamically by Agent Desktop. Thus, after making any changes to activity forms, we recommend that all affected logged-in agents refresh their browser page.

Search grid columns
Search grid columns allows you to designate specific form fields as searchable within a screenpop activity form in Agent Desktop. With this setting, it is possible to have calling list columns shown as search results. In order to make calling list columns searchable, you must make calling list columns searchable when importing a list. Additionally, you must map the form field to the calling list column in section Services & Campaigns > Activities tab. For more information, see the Form Builder Reference Guide, section How to Display Searchable Call List Columns in Activity Forms.
To add a form field, click add. In the dialog window that opens, select the Field and Sorting options to be placed on the form. The Field options displayed are the labels (i.e., names) of the various controls used in your created form. The Sorting options allow you to customize the display of searched grid columns; the options include the following:
- Disabled - No sorting
- ASC - Sort in ascending order
- DESC - Sort in descending order
