Keyboard shortcuts

Which keyboard shortcuts you use to operate the Agent — even from other programs — and how you set them up.

Keyboard shortcuts for the Agent

The Agent’s keyboard shortcuts work system-wide: they also work when another program is in the foreground. Each shortcut consists of Alt or Ctrl and a letter. Initially, no letter is assigned to any command.

Setting up

  1. Open Settings › Hotkeys.
  2. Turn on Hotkeys active.
  3. Choose whether the shortcuts start with Alt or Ctrl.
  4. Assign a letter from A to Z to each command you want to trigger from the keyboard. Each letter can only be assigned once.

The shortcuts apply immediately. The Hotkeys button only appears if your profile allows Hotkey changes; otherwise the administrator sets the shortcuts in your profile.

The commands

Command Effect
Accept Conversation Accepts the ringing call, email, fax or chat.
Toggle Wrap-up Turns wrap-up on or off, like a click on Wrap-up. It has no effect during dynamic wrap-up.
Terminate dynamic Wrap-up Ends dynamic wrap-up immediately.

Invoke Softphone Opens the dial pad.
Highlight and dial Copies a phone number that you have highlighted in any program into the dial pad. With Highlight and dial immediately, the Agent dials it straight away.
Make qualified call Copies the highlighted phone number into the dial pad for a call for a skill.
Make private call Copies the highlighted phone number into the dial pad for a private call.
Record Starts or stops recording the connected incoming call, like the button in the ribbon, if recording is allowed.

Invoke Softphone and the three dialing commands only work if your profile allows the integrated softphone and calls of your own.
