End User Productivity Enhancements
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.
7
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.
8
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 call log notes’
ensuring that the reports are standardized, and that sensitive customer information does not get added
to the customer database.
9
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 administrators, 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. 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.
10
7. Automatic Synchronization to Redundant Servers
Any changes made with the Runtime Admin tool are automatically synchronized with the redundant
servers. This feature automatically maintains consistency of configuration data across redundant servers.
Previously the changes were synchronized by selecting a Sync button, which is no longer required.
ServiceNow Features
8. 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/.
11
Mitel MiVoice Business & Contact Center 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.
New Genesys Support
11. InGenius Connector Enterprise integration with Genesys PureEngage
InGenius now connects Genesys PureEngage to ServiceNow® Customer
Service Management or IT Service Management applications and
Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM. The Genesys integration helps voice-
centric personnel increase agent productivity, call capacity and overall
customer satisfaction.
The new InGenius integration for ServiceNow and Microsoft Dynamics with Genesys PureEngage supports
screen pop, click-to-dial, automated call logging and other standard InGenius features within the
ServiceNow interface.
