DCA Agents

If your Account has been provided with the Dynamic Call Agent (DCA) feature, when entering Service Designer select DCA -> Agents from the toolbar menu. Clicking this will open the DCA Agent Manager screen:

This default view will not show Agents in any of your sub accounts. To do this select the 'Include Sub Accounts' checkbox which will automatically refresh the results and include those Agents.

You can filter the results by searching by AgentID or Agent Name.

You can also search just a specific account by clicking on the magnifying glass search button and then selecting the account you wish to search using the Account Selector screen. To remove that account selection just click on the [ x ] button next to the name.

Clicking the [ Export to Excel ] or [ Export to PDF] buttons will export all the Agents currently displayed in those results and corresponding information to a .XLSX or .PDF file.

Clicking [ New Agent ] button (top right of Agent Manager screen) will present the New Agent set up screen:
