Teleopti WFM Reports

Teleopti WFM reports are used to provide historical data to the Teleopti WFM application for workforce scheduling/forecasting.

Note that in order to generate Teleopti WFM reports, the WFM Reports feature must be enabled for your contact center by the service provider.

Report Types

Report types are the types of reports that may be generated: Queue, Agent Performance, and Agent Queue.

For more information about the data contained in these reports, please refer to Teleopti's specification titled "Pre-requisites and information. Teleopti WFM integrations – standard historical data. Version 1.4."

Please note that Bright Pattern Contact Center permanently sets values of some fields in these reports to "0." This generally means that either the given parameter was confirmed not to be essential for the scheduling/forecasting functions, or that the corresponding functionality is not supported.

Schedule

Schedule settings allow you to configure automatic Teleopti WFM report generation. The settings are as follows.

Reporting interval

The frequency, in minutes, that reports will be delivered via FTP/SFTP; the default setting is 15 minutes.

Deliver reports

Choose between Daily or Continuously.

Run time

Allows you to configure what time you want the report generated at. To do this, enter a time and select from a drop-down menu the time zone that applies. The default time is "Midnight UTC."

On demand

On Demand settings allow you to generate Teleopti WFM reports on an as-needed basis. Click Schedule to edit the Teleopti WFM On Demand report settings.

Teleopti WFM Integration

Integration with the Teleopti WFM (workforce management) application makes it possible to send real-time agent state data to Teleopti for schedule adherence monitoring via API.

The Teleopti WFM integration account connects Bright Pattern Contact Center to Teleopti WFM using Teleopti-provided authentication credentials like URL and auth key.

For this integration, note the following:

• The feed will provide full updates of all agents every 15 minutes.
• The feed will provide periodic updates at the configured Periodic update interval of agents who have changed their states.
• Updated agent data will include the user’s unique ID and their state at the time of the update.
• The feed includes the following agent states:
  • Ready
  • Busy
  • After Call Work
  • Not Ready (or configured/system Not Ready reason)
  • Logged Out

Teleopti WFM Integration Account Properties

The parameters that must be configured on the Bright Pattern side to enable the real-time data feed are described as follows.

Name

The name of the integration account.

Periodic Update Interval

The period (in seconds) in which real-time metrics will be updated.

URL

The URL for the real-time feed, which is provided by the Teleopti application administrator.

Source ID

Source ID (string, 50 character max.) identifies your contact center and is received from the Teleopti application administrator.

Auth Key

The authentication key (string) that is provided by the Teleopti application administrator.

SCIM

The SCIM (RFC 7643 / RFC 7644) integration account is required for using the BPCC SCIM-Compliant User Provisioning API. Only one SCIM integration account is allowed for your contact center. If the SCIM integration account is not configured for your contact center, the method Create User will fail to process requests.

For more information, see the BPCC SCIM-compliant User Provisioning API documentation on Postman.

Properties

The properties of the SCIM type of integration account are described as follows.

Type

SCIM

Name

The name of the integration account (any)

Default team

The team to which the new user should be automatically assigned upon creation.

Users

A user is anyone who may need access to any functionality of Bright Pattern Contact Center. Each user in the Bright Pattern Contact Center configuration must be assigned to a team. The level of users' access to the system's functions is defined by their assigned roles. Thus, you should typically have both the roles and teams defined in your configuration before you begin to register your users.

Most of the users will access Bright Pattern Contact Center via the Agent Desktop application. The exact set of functionality available to a logged-on user via this application depends on the role(s) assigned this user in your contact center configuration.

• The Agent Guide provides detailed instructions for the use of Agent Desktop by contact center agents and back-office (PBX) workers.

• The Supervisor Guide provides detailed instructions for the use of Agent Desktop by contact center supervisors and campaign operators.

Although most of the Agent Desktop functionality is implemented using thin-client technologies, some of its capabilities require a software component that is installed on users’ computers. This component is called Agent Desktop Helper Application. For more information about the functions of this component and methods of its installation, see section Agent Desktop Helper Application.

The computers of users of the Agent Desktop application must conform to a number of system requirements.

How to Define and Edit User Information

To view, define, and edit user information, select the Users option from the Users & Teams menu.

The Users list provides the following information:

• First Name - The first name of the user
• Last Name - The last name of the user
• Extension - The extension number of the user
• Roles - The assigned role(s) for the user (e.g., agent, supervisor, etc.)
• Team - The assigned team(s) for the user
• Created on - The date that the user was created in the system
• Last login on - The date of the user's last login to the system

Importing Users from a Spreadsheet

You can import user information from an Excel spreadsheet instead of entering it manually. You can also export user information to an Excel spreadsheet. Import and export operations are activated by the arrow buttons at the bottom of the user list view. For information about the spreadsheet format, click the import button. An easy way to obtain a user import template is to add a few users manually first, apply the export operation, and use the produced spreadsheet as an import template.

If you do not wish to use certain records during a particular instance of import, but you would like to keep those records in the spreadsheet for possible use in the future, you can add a column with name Delete to the spreadsheet and set its value to yes for the records that are not to be imported.

Screen Properties

Person tab

The Person screen properties are described as follows. Note that users can change some of their profile properties directly via the Agent Desktop application. These properties are marked with an asterisk (*). For more information, see section Configuring Your User Profile of the Agent Guide.

Note: Some service configuration changes that affect agent behavior are not picked up dynamically by Agent Desktop. Thus, after making a change to user information that appears in the user's profile, we recommend that all affected agents re-login to Agent Desktop and/or refresh their browser page.

Username

Username is the name that the user will enter when logging in to Agent Desktop or any other Bright Pattern application. Username is mandatory and must be unique within the contact center.

Note that a username can be changed; in order for changes to be made, this feature must be enabled by your service provider for your contact center. If enabled, username changes can be done only via the Contact Center Administrator application and the BPCC SCIM-Compliant User Provisioning API. Username changes cannot be done via the Agent Desktop application, user import, or the BPCC Configuration API.

When changing a username, please consider the following:

• Username change does not change the historical records created prior to the username change, which contain the old username. If a user’s username is changed and you wish to include the user’s data in historical reports from before and after the change, do the following:
  • From the Agent filter, select the user’s current name.
  • From the Agent filter, select the Show disabled/deleted agents checkbox, then select the user’s former name.
  • Please note that the Agent filter uses first and last name, so if the username was changed, but the first and last name stayed the same, a person with the same name may appear in both active and disabled/deleted users.
• If a user is logged into the Agent Desktop application when her username is changed, a banner displays the message, "Your username has changed. Please log out and log in with the new username." The user’s softphone will continue the current call; however, they will not be able to refresh registration, accept, or make new calls.

Password

Password is the password that the user will enter when logging into Agent Desktop or any other Bright Pattern application. This field is displayed for new users only and its specification is mandatory. Note that some rules related to password complexity (i.e., length, special characters, etc.) may be defined and enforced at the service provider level.

Confirm password

The Confirm password field is mandatory.

Change password

The Change password option is displayed for existing users only, and it is used to change the selected user’s password. This option will typically be used by an administrator to change passwords of other users. Users can change their own passwords via the Agent Desktop application.

API secret

The API secret is a unique, secret string that identifies the user (i.e., user credentials). The API secret is used during authentication to request an access token for Bright Pattern APIs, such as the Configuration API and others.

Disabled

Disabled indicates whether the user is active. Select this checkbox to disable user's access to all system functions temporarily. Disabled users are shown dimmed in the user list view.

Note that inactive user accounts may also be disabled automatically. See section Security Policy for more information. Disabled users are still counted as named users in your configuration.

User must change password on next login

This property indicates whether the user will be forced to change the password upon the next login. To comply with the PCI DSS security standard, select this checkbox for every new user.

As soon as the user changes the password, the check mark will be removed automatically. You can force the user to change password at any time by selecting this checkbox again.

This property exists to support manual password change enforcement. Note that the system also supports automatic password expiration. See section Security Policy for more information. The related automatic password changes are not reflected by this property.

Lockout

Lockout indicates whether this user can access the system or is currently locked out due to a security policy violation. See section Security Policy for more information. You can click the link to view current lockout status. If the user account is locked out, you can unlock it by clicking the Unlock button.

First name

First name is the user’s first name. This field is mandatory.

Last name

Last name is the user’s last name. This field is mandatory.

Team

Team is the team to which this user is assigned. A Bright Pattern Contact Center user must be assigned to a team, and a user cannot be assigned to more than one team. See section Teams for considerations regarding assignment of users to teams.

Note that teams may be associated with services. Upon assignment to such a team, the user may get a corresponding service skill with a certain level automatically. You can change the level or remove the skill from the user manually using the Skill Levels option.

Training Class

Training Class, a feature of the Omni QM module, allows you to define a training class for a given user. Training Classes are created in the Contact Center Administrator application, section Users & Teams > Training Classes. Training Class is used as an optional search parameter in select QM Reports; for more information, contact your service provider.

Supervisor in charge

Supervisor in charge, a feature of the Omni QM module, allows you to define a specific supervisor as being responsible for a given user. Supervisor in charge is used as an optional search parameter in select QM Reports; for more information, contact your service provider.

Record calls

The Record calls checkbox allow you to record a specific agent's calls. Note: If call recording is enabled as a global setting, this checkbox option will change to Do not record calls and you can mark specific agents to not record.

Title

Title is the user’s job title. This property is used for information only. For user’s access privileges, see section Roles below.

About me

About me is the optional information that users will typically enter themselves via their Agent Desktop profile settings.

Photo

This is the user’s photo. The photo will appear in the Contact Info Panel of the Agent Desktop application during internal communications. If you use chat services, the photo can also be displayed to customers when they communicate with this agent via chat. To upload a photo, click upload. To remove the photo, click remove.

The default maximum size of uploaded photos is 10 MB; the photo will be compressed to fit the user interface elements where it is displayed. Note that the maximum size of uploaded files may be further limited by your service provider.

Maximum concurrent chats - Limit number of chats on the agent

Maximum concurrent chats lets you define the total number of concurrent chats an agent will process at a given time. If this setting is configured, the system will choose the smaller number from between this setting and the Omni-Channel Routing setting for chat (i.e., if chat is configured at the maximum, too).

Note that when set to a lower number of chats than set in omni-channel routing, this setting will impact agent occupancy, where 100% of occupancy will be the maximum number of chats from the omni-channel routing setting, and less when clamped down by this per-user setting (e.g., 4 chats in omni-channel routing - 100%, clamped to 3 - 75%).

Contacts tab

Chat nickname

Chat nickname is the name that will be displayed to other parties when they communicate with this user via chat.

Rank

Rank is the user’s rank. This optional setting can be used as an additional selection criterion in custom agent reports. This setting is essential for users who are agents only.

Phone extension

Phone extension is the extension number of the user’s softphone. This mandatory setting must contain numeric characters only and must be unique within the contact center. Note that if you have any hardphones registered in the system, their numbers cannot be assigned as users' phone extensions. See section Hardphones for more information.

The extension can be used in combination with a user’s PIN code for phone login (see below) for authentication through interfaces that only accept numeric input (e.g., an IVR system).

Bright Pattern Contact Center assigns extension numbers to new users automatically in ascending order starting from 1000. You can change the default number to any other value. In this case, the default extension number assigned to the next new user will be the newly defined value + 1. Extension numbers are recycled (i.e., when you delete a user, that user's extension number will be assigned by default to the next new user).

A user’s extension number cannot be changed while the user is logged on to that extension; if a change is attempted, an error message will display, "Cannot change extension number while agent is logged on that extension." Also note that the user can log in with a different number (e.g., a hardphone number).

For more information about user phone device options, see section Selecting a Phone Device of the Agent Guide.

Forward all calls for ext…

This indicates whether call forwarding is activated for the user’s phone extension.

Call forwarding can also be activated via the extension’s properties; see section Softphones. Section Forwarding and Voicemail Operation explains how forwarding will work with various phone devices that the user can select upon login.

Note that call forwarding takes priority over voicemail. If the user has had voicemail enabled (see below), activation of call forwarding for this user will automatically disable the voicemail function.

to

This field represents the phone number to which incoming calls will be forwarded. The phone number must be specified if the Forward all calls to ext… checkbox is selected.

Forward on no answer after

Forward on no answer after is the time (in seconds) after which incoming calls will be forwarded to the number specified if the user is logged on and does not answer. The amount of time must be specified if the Forward all calls to ext… checkbox is selected. For immediate (unconditional) forwarding, set the timeout to 0.

If the user is unreachable (busy or logged out), incoming calls will be forwarded to the specified number immediately, regardless of this setting.

Default hardphone number

Default hardphone number is the extension number of the hardphone assigned to the user. This setting is optional but if specified, it must be one of the existing hardphone extension numbers (see section Hardphones). This parameter should be defined only for users who normally use permanently assigned hardphones installed at their personal desks. To log into the Agent Desktop application with this hardphone, the user should select option Default phone. For more information about a user’s phone device options, see section How to Select a Phone Device of the Agent Guide.

The call forwarding settings will not take effect on the default hardphone. Instead, the forwarding settings configured for the hardphone itself will apply (see section Hardphones).

Enable voicemail

Enable voicemail indicates whether the voicemail function is enabled for the user. For general voicemail settings, see section Voicemail.

Section Forwarding and Voicemail Operation explains how voicemail will work with various phone devices that the user can select upon login.

Note that call forwarding takes priority over voicemail. The voicemail function cannot be enabled if the user already has call forwarding activated. If the user has had voicemail enabled, a temporary activation of call forwarding for this user will automatically disable the voicemail function; however, the voicemail configuration (the No Answer timeout and current greeting) will be preserved and will take effect as soon as call forwarding is deactivated.

Send to voicemail after

Send to voicemail after is the time in seconds after which an incoming call will be forwarded to voicemail if the user is logged on and does not pick up the call. The amount of time must be specified if the Enable voicemail checkbox is selected.

If the user is unreachable (busy or logged out), incoming calls will be sent to the user’s voicemail immediately, regardless of this setting.

Use this voicemail greeting

This option lets you upload up to three different personal voicemail greetings for the user and select which one should be used. Individual greetings may be deleted as necessary.

Users can also record their personal greetings directly via their Agent Desktop application. For more information see section Configuring Your Voicemail of the Agent Guide.

Work phone

Work phone is the user’s work phone. This optional setting is used for informational purposes only.

Mobile phone

Mobile phone is the user’s mobile phone number. This optional setting is used for informational purposes only.

PIN code for phone login

The PIN is the user’s numeric password that can be used in combination with user’s Phone extension for authentication through interfaces that accept only numeric input (e.g., an interactive voice response (IVR) system).

Email address

Email address is the user’s email address that the system will use for delivery of password reset instructions, voicemail messages, and scheduled reports. It must be specified if the voicemail is enabled because the user will be notified of new voicemail messages via email.

Note that this email address is not used for distribution of service email interactions to the agents.

Location tab

This tab lets you specify various optional properties related to a user’s geographical location.

Region

The geographic region for the user (e.g., "US"). This property is required.

Your contact center is associated with a region by default. The Region selector is used to initialize user region at the time of creation. If your service provider has enabled multiple regions to be used for your contact center, you will be able to select a non-default region for the user from the selector.

Time zone

The time zone for the user (e.g., "-08:00 America/Los_Angeles"). This property is required.

Country

The country in which the user works (e.g., "United States"). This property is optional.

State/Province

The state or province in which the user works (e.g., "CA"). This property is optional.

City

The city in which in which the user works (e.g., "San Bruno"). This property is optional.

Login Info tab

This tab provides a variety of user login information; it may be consulted for quick user diagnostics. The properties are as follows.

Last login

Captures the date and time the user is first authenticated within the system for the day (i.e., the Contact Center Administrator application or the Agent Desktop application); note that it is not updated if the user opens additional applications or changes to/from the Supervision mode

Last logout

Captures the date and time the user last logged out of the application for the day (i.e., the Contact Center Administrator application or the Agent Desktop application)

Browser type and version

Displays the name and the version of the web browser the user used in the most recent session

Selected phone device option

Displays the phone device option the user used in the most recent session

OS

Displays the name of the user's operating system

IP address (public)

The public IP address of the user

Raw User-Agent string

Displays the HTTP User-Agent browser identification header, which is automatically submitted by the web browser

Roles tab

A user can be assigned any number of roles that define what kind of system functionality can be accessed. For more information, see section Roles. Select a role from the list in order to assign it to the user.

By default, new users do not have any roles assigned to them. Since the majority of users registered in your configuration are likely to be agents, you can configure automatic assignment of the Agent role to every new user. See the description of property Assign this role to newly created users in section Roles for more information.

Privileges

Registered users of your Bright Pattern Contact Center solution are assigned privileges that can be used to control access to various contact center functions. Privileges are arranged in the same way as they appear on the Roles page of the Contact Center Administrator application. For general information about privileges and roles, see section Roles.

Privileges are organized into seven categories (i.e., groups):

• Interaction Handling
• Quality Management
• Security and Administration
• Service and Campaign Administration
• Supervision
• System Administration
• BPO Client

Note: Some service configuration changes that affect agent behavior are not picked up dynamically by Agent Desktop. Thus, after making a change to privileges, we recommend that all affected agents re-login to Agent Desktop.

Interaction Handling group

Access full-screen Agent Desktop

The Access full-screen Agent Desktop privilege allows the user to enable full-screen Agent Desktop view within CRM applications.

Because CRM systems typically have their own email and case management capabilities, the full-screen mode normally would be used by supervisors only.

Delete contacts

The Delete contacts privilege allows the deletion of contacts. If enabled, users can delete individual contacts via the Agent Desktop. When a contact is deleted, its activity history is deleted too. Cases are not deleted automatically.

Edit contacts

The Edit contacts privilege provides write access to contacts. If enabled, users can create new contacts, and users can modify any fields in existing contacts (but not activity history).

Force pop-out phone window

The Force pop-out phone window privilege allows the user to open Agent Desktop in a pop-out window. For more information, see section Understanding Screen-Pop of the Agent Guide.

Enabling this privilege is generally not recommended if you plan to deliver activity forms and/or other web content to agents via screen pop.

Note that if the user has any privileges in the Supervision group (see below), the user will not be able to open Agent Desktop in a pop-out window even if the user has this privilege.

Handle automatically distributed interactions

The Handle automatically distributed interactions allows the user to receive calls from a service queue and preview records. This is the basic privilege that allows the user to perform typical call center agent work (i.e., provide services over the phone and participate in outbound campaigns).

The ability to handle customer chat or email interactions is controlled via separate privileges (see Handle email and Handle service chat).

Handle email

When enabled, the Handle email privilege allows users to:

• Edit cases
• Create new cases manually
• Open cases from search results (even if they are already open by other agent)
• Mark cases as spam

Handle service chats

With the Handle service chats privilege, the user may handle chat interactions with customers. This includes chat interactions started by customers via SMS.

Note that the ability to initiate a chat with a customer via SMS is controlled by a separate privilege (see Initiate SMS conversation). Likewise, the ability to use internal chat is controlled by a separate privilege (see Send internal chats).

Initiate SMS conversation

The Initiate SMS conversation privilege allows the user to initiate chats with customers via SMS.

Listen to call recordings and view chat transcripts on assigned services

With this privilege granted, the user may review call recordings and chat transcripts of the services that the user is qualified to handle (i.e., has corresponding service skills).

Listening to own call recordings and view own chat transcripts

This privilege provides Agent Desktop users the capability, via activity history, to access recordings where the agent participated (at least partially). This privilege applies to Agent Desktop only.

Login to Agent Desktop

Login to Agent Desktop allows the user to log in to Agent Desktop application and perform basic back-office telephony functions. Any user who needs access to Agent Desktop must have this privilege. Note that this privilege alone is not sufficient for performing typical contact center agent work.

Note that any user who logs into Agent Desktop will be counted as a concurrent user for the duration of the login session. Your service provider may impose a limit on how many of your users may be logged on concurrently.

Make external calls

A user with the Make external calls privilege may make external calls and blind transfers to external destinations from the Agent Desktop application. If the user does not have this privilege, an attempt to make an external call or blind transfer will result in a text error message displayed on Agent Desktop.

Note that the absence of this privilege does not prevent users from making external calls using the dial pad of their hardphones.

Mask original email content

The Mask original email content privilege allows the user to mask fragments of original customer email text. For more information, see section How to Mask Sensitive Data of the Agent Guide.

Modify own identification data

The Modify own identification data privilege allows the user to be able to modify specific fields of the user profile. If the privilege is not present, the following fields are locked:

• First Name
• Last Name
• Chat Nickname

See other agents/teams in directory

This privilege lets the user see all configured teams and team members in the Agent Desktop directory and view their current availability (presence). For more information, see section How to Use the Directory of the Agent Guide.

See other agents’ cases

See other agents’ cases allows the user to see cases handled by other agents. If the user does not have this privilege, the user will be able to see only cases that with which the user has worked. This privilege affects case search only. Absence of this privilege does not affect the user’s ability to receive emails related to existing cases that the user has not worked on.

Send internal chats

The Send internal chats privilege allows the user to initiate internal chat conversations.

Start recording of interactions

With this privilege, the user may start call recording.

Stop recording of interactions

Stop recording of interactions allows the user to stop call recording.

Transfer calls

The Transfer calls privilege allows the user to transfer customer interactions to consultation parties and host conferences (both via-consultation and single-step).

Absence of this privilege does not affect user’s ability to

• make blind transfers of customer interactions
• transfer or conference internal calls

Use Calendar

The Use Calendar privilege enables users to use the Agent Desktop calendar for scheduling.

Use Favorites tab

Use Favorites tab is an agent-level privilege that controls whether the user can see and set favorites from the Agent Desktop application. This privilege is an agent behavior control to prevent users from dialing destinations that they should not based on FCC/TCPA and organizational rules.

Use Recent Calls tab

The Use Recent Calls tab privilege lets the user restrict access to recent calls. This privilege uses TCPA manual dialing to limit which agents can access recent calls.

Use RightNow

Use RightNow allows the user to use Agent Desktop embedded into the Oracle Service Cloud application (formerly called RightNow). This privilege enables access to the Agent Desktop widget within Oracle Service Cloud.

For more information, see the Oracle Service Cloud Integration Guide.

You are in the [No answer] state because you did not accept a customer interaction at [HH:MM]. Select the Ready state when ready to handle customer interactions.

If you do not accept an incoming service call, chat, or email within a certain amount of time, the system will return the interaction to the queue and change your state to Not Ready with the “No answer” reason. (Note that because Not Ready reason names are customizable you may see something other than “No answer” in the message text.) This is done to prevent other interactions from being distributed to you in case you accidentally leave your desk without making yourself Not Ready manually.

You can manually make yourself Ready when you are ready to handle interactions again.

You are in the [Connection loss] state because at [HH:MM] a call to this phone was not delivered due to network, firewall, or computer configuration issues. Please ensure this phone can accept calls before switching into the Ready state.

If a call cannot be delivered to you due to problems with your network connection, firewall, or computer configuration, the system will return the interaction to the queue and change your state to Not Ready with the “Connection loss” reason. (Note that because Not Ready reason names are customizable you may see something other than “Connection loss” in the message text.). This is done to prevent other interactions from being distributed to you while the problem persists.

Report this message to your system administrator. When the problem is resolved, you can manually make yourself Ready.

You have been logged out by [Name] at [HH:MM].

This message indicates that you have been manually logged out of the system by your supervisor. Contact your supervisor about the possible reasons.

You can either try to login from another computer or contact your system administrator for help.

Single Sign-On Integration

Bright Pattern integrates with Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 identity providers, allowing you to configure single sign-on (SSO) functionality for the Agent Desktop application or the Contact Center Administrator (Admin) application.

Note that only one instance can be created per contact center.

Note that SSO bypass is allowed by privilege. For more information, see section Privileges.

For specific instructions on configuring SSO with specific providers see Administration Tutorials, section Integrations.

Properties

There are two types of properties for Single Sign-On integration accounts: Agent Desktop SSO and Admin SSO. You can enable just Agent Desktop SSO functionality and keep Admin login credentials local or you can enable both Agent Desktop and Admin SSO functionality.

Name

The name of the integration account (any name).

Enable Single Sign-On

Select the checkbox to enable single sign-on functionality for the Agent Desktop application.

Use SSO for administrator portal login

Select the checkbox in order to enable SSO for users of the Contact Center Administrator application (i.e., the "administrator portal") who have the admin role.

Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL

The login URL of your identity provider.

Identity Provider Issuer

The unique identifier of your identity provider.

Identity Provider Certificate

The contents of the SAML certificate that the identity provider uses to sign the SAML tokens that it sends to the application.

Enable Just-in-time user provisioning

Select this checkbox to enable Just-in-time user provisioning (JIT). JIT user provisioning automatically creates call center users on the first SSO login attempt authorized by the identity provider.

Note that JIT is disabled if SSO is not enabled.

You should enable JIT user provisioning if:

• JIT user provisioning is enabled for the application
• The tenant URL is known (extracted from the domain name, tenantUrl parameter, or SAML additional parameter)
• The user with login Id does not exist in that tenant
• SAML assertion is signed and valid

When creating a new user using JIT user provisioning:

• The newly created user should copy assignments (e.g., roles, teams, skills, etc.) from the selected user template
• User contact information should be copied from SAML assertion. As a minimum, this contact information should include first name, last name, login ID, and email address (others are optional)
• Once the user is created, that user should be logged in immediately

Use Template

Select this checkbox to copy assignments (e.g., roles, teams, skills, etc.) from a specific user, and apply them to new call center users created by JIT user provisioning.

Note that SSO templates are required if JIT user provisioning enabled. SSO templates are disabled if JIT user provisioning is disabled.

Known Issues and Workarounds

This page provides information about known issues for Bright Pattern Contact Center software.

Reports do not display properly in Firefox 67

Due to a JavaScript root name conflict between Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and Firefox, reports are not displaying in Firefox 67—running a report brings up a blank browser tab.

As a workaround to this issue, we recommend doing the following:

1. In Firefox, navigate to about:config to bring up preferences.
   
   
2. Search for preference security.webauth.u2f
   
   
3. Set the value to false by double-clicking on the preference.

Embedded Agent Desktop Widget in Safari

Due to recommended system changes that address cookie handling in Chrome 80, the Embedded Agent Desktop widget (i.e., iframe) will not work in the Safari web browser. This issue affects only customers who use integrated Bright Pattern Contact Center software in third-party applications (e.g., Salesforce, Zendesk, etc.). Currently, Apple is working on a fix for this issue. Our recommended workaround is to use a web browser other than Safari. Note that users may still access the regular Agent Desktop application on Safari.

Externally Linked Images in Jaspersoft Reports

Bright Pattern tightened the security addressing a recently discovered Jaspersoft reports vulnerability in 5.5.5. As a result Jaspersoft reports cannot use links to external URLs (e.g., links to custom logos). Bright Pattern suggests using embedded images in reports, if a custom logo is absolutely necessary.

Workaround for Integration With Multiple Salesforce Accounts

If your contact center requires multiple Salesforce integration accounts to be configured, it is likely that you will encounter issues when requesting access tokens for any integration account other than the initial one.

That is, if you have successfully configured one integration account, while completing step 2 of the Add Salesforce Integration Account in Bright Pattern procedure for a subsequent account, when you reach the point where you click Request token, the login window that pops may appear with the URL of the initial Salesforce integration account.

Should you experience this issue, take the following steps:

1. After configuring the initial account, clear all cookies from your web browser. Note that this action will log you out of the Contact Center Administrator application.
2. Log back into the application and complete step 1 and step 2 of the procedure.
3. When you reach the point in step 2 when you click the Request token button, a window will pop. Ensure that the URL in this window matches the Url configured in the basic properties for the subsequent account.

Note that this workaround applies to all versions of Salesforce (i.e., Classic, Lightning, and Service Cloud).

Windows Administrative Remote Assist Task Manager

Due to Windows Security features, agents may lose mouse and keyboard control over their Remote Assist sessions, but this will only occur when ALL of the following are true:

• Customer is using Windows, AND
• Customer is logged in as an admin, AND
• The Task Manager is opened on the customer's computer, AND
• The Task Manager window has a focus, AND
• The Remote Assist session is not elevated

No matter how the Task Manager is opened, this specific combination of events may cause the agent to lose keyboard and mouse control.

To work around this issue:

• Elevate the session, OR
• Ask your customer to close the Task Manager while speaking with them via phone or chat
