5. 4. Agents and Visitors Tree View
The Agent and Visitor view is one of the most important areas of the Support Panel because
this is where we can accept a visitor who is waiting for chat or transfer the visitor to another
agent. This is also where the agent status is displayed as well as those visitors who are in chat.
Agents: The agent node displays all online agents that are in the same department at any given
time.
Online: The online node displays all visitors who are currently in chat with the agent.
Pending: The Pending node displays all the visitors that are waiting to chat with an agent.
Double clicking on the name of an agent accepts the visitor.
After the visitor is accepted, they appear under the online node and a chat window opens
with the corresponding name of the visitor.
Transferred : The transferred node displays all the visitors that have been transferred to
another agent.
To transfer to an agent, right click on the name of the visitor which will open a menu with a list
of all available agents for transfer.

6. 5. Chat Window
Once an agent accepts a visitor, a chat window will open which controls the flow of information
between the visitor and the agent.
An agent can have more than one chat window open at a time, allowing the agent to attend to
more than one visitor simultaneously. The main chat options are:
Push Page: This option sends a link to a page which will automatically open in the browser
window that the visitor currently has open.
Send HTML: this option sends an HTML code to the visitor which will appear in the visitor’s
chat window.

7. Send JavaScript: This option sends a JavaScript code which will be executed in the chat window,
such as a JavaScript alert.
Send Image: This option sends an image that will open in the visitor’s chat window. Remember
that it is necessary to send the complete link to the image.

link, it will open in a new tab or window
View Profile: This option allows the user to Access detailed information about the visitor in the
information window to the right of the chat window.
Send Email: This sends an email directly to the visitor without having to leave the Support
Panel. If the visitor enters their e-mail address at the beginning of the chat request, it will
automatically appear in the sent email window.
Kill Session: This option ends a session with a visitor without notice. This option is designed to
terminate chat when the visitor is rude or simply joining the chat as a joke.
Close: This option closes the chat window after the chat has ended.
The agent also has several additional options to send emoticons and pre-typed messages to
visitors.
Smiles: At the bottom of the chat window, there is a list of emoticons that the agent can send
to the visitor.

8. Pre-written messages: There are also two selection options which control the pre-written
messages. The first option is the language. Currently, the agent can sort the pre-written
messages by language. This way an agent can manage multiple languages and use pre-written
messages to make chat easier for each language.
The first step to send a pre-written message is to select the language, then all the pre-written
messages for that language will be displayed below and the agent can choose the appropriate
message from the list.
The pre-written messages are the best option to rapidly reply to a visitor.
Pre-written messages can be created or edited through the pre-written messages configuration
found in the main menu.

9. 6. Visitor Information
The information area is found at the bottom of the Support Panel. Here, the agent can
access the entire visitor’s information such as chat transcripts and offline messages.
Visitor information tab: In the visitor’s information tab, the visitor’s detailed information is
displayed, beginning with Country, Region and City, referral information and status.
In the detailed information area, there is an option to send a proactive invitation to the
visitor.
With information from the web and GPS technology, Google maps can generate a map of
the visitor’s location.

that the visitor has been on the site.

chat history available on the system. To Access this system, the agent must have global
permission.
There are three filters to Access the chat history:

Access this chat directly.

mail every time a chat is started, an agent can Access the entire chat history using their e-
mail.

displays all chat history for the period chosen by the agent.

Months, Last Six Months.

12. 8. Offline Messages
In this section, the agent can Access all the offline messages that have been left on the site
when there are no agents online.
The agent can also mark the message as read so as not to unnecessarily reopen the

create and select a category.
Update Category/Message : This option lets you edit a previously created category or
