Unsupported features and configurations for Progressive and Predictive Agent Outbound
Unsupported Features and Configurations for Progressive and Predictive Agent Outbound
-
The "Get Reporting Statistic" step isn’t supported for progressive and predictive agent-based outbound campaigns.
-
Unified CCX doesn’t support the translation or modification of the phone number that it uses to dial outbound calls. If any
"voice translation rules" that are configured in the gateway modify the phone number, those rules aren’t supported.
Note
|
You can use either of the following two supported methods to modify a dialed number in the gateway:
-
To remove the initial digits of the phone number, use forward-digits or digit-strip in the dial-peer configuration.
-
To add a prefix to the phone number, use prefix in the dial-peer configuration.
|
-
For Outbound campaigns outside North America, additional configuration is required to add the area-code-to-time-zone mapping.
For more information, see the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Administration and Operations Guide, located at https://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/custcosw/ps1846/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.
-
For multi-country Outbound campaigns, the area code must also include the country code.
-
Unified CCX dialer dials outbound contacts only if the publisher database is in the "IN SERVICE" state.
-
Finesse doesn’t support the Do Not Call option.
-
If you aren’t on Smart Licensing, outbound license usage isn’t captured in the License Utilization Cisco Unified Intelligence
Center report.
-
You must enable Agent AutoAnswer manually for agent-based progressive and predictive calls when you upgrade from an older Unified CCX release.
Unsupported configuration for IPv6
Unsupported configurations and scenarios for Unified CCX
Unified CCX doesn’t support the following configurations:
-
CTI route points with directory numbers (DNs) that are members of line groups and, by extension, that are members of hunt
lists of Unified CM.
-
Shared lines for CTI ports and CTI route points.
-
Agent devices can’t be shared with any other Directory Number, irrespective of the configured partition. (The Agent device
and Directory Number must have a 1:1 relationship).
-
ICD call answer or ICD call transfer using any third-party attendant console desk software.
-
Within the same script, using the "Place Call" step to generate a call and then placing the call, back into the same queue (creating a call loop).
-
SIP REFER between a switchboard and Unified CCX if the transfer is completed after the call is answered on the Unified CCX
CTI port because of media reestablishment issues.
-
During TTS prompt playback, if the call is put on hold and then retrieved, the prompt doesn’t continue from the position at
which it was left.
-
Use of "Consult Transfer", "Direct Transfer", or "Redirect" to a translation pattern that maps back to a route point.
-
Use of "Consult Transfer", "Redirect", and "Place Call" steps to invoke or dial into "Conference Now" conferences.
-
The following scenarios have issues:
-
External -> Redirect to Unmonitored device -> Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) to UCCX RP
Use of Redirect Step to an unmonitored device which then uses CFNA to a UCCX route point.
-
External -> Consult Transfer to RP ->Consult Transfer to RP -> Redirect to Unmonitored device
-
External -> Redirect to RP -> Consult Transfer to RP -> Redirect to Unmonitored device
-
External -> Consult Transfer to RP -> Redirect to RP -> Redirect to Unmonitored device
-
External -> Consult Transfer to RP -> Redirect to Unmonitored device
Thus, use the Call Redirect Step in the script instead of Call Consult Transfer.
-
Unified CCX doesn't completely support the E.164 numbering plan for route point directory numbers (DN).
This limitation is because of the Unified CM limit on device name length set as 15 characters. We add "_" between the device
name prefix and the DN. So we support a maximum of 13 characters in the DN as the device name prefix is mandatory and hence
at least one character is needed there. For example, (Device name prefix) + '_' + (length of DN) = 15 ==> [(1 + '_' + 13)
= 15].
-
Cisco Unified CCX system doesn’t support modification, addition or deletion of the CTI ports and the CTI Route Points from
the Cisco Unified Communication Manager. Performing the same can lead to issues with the non-contiguous DN range for which
Cisco Tomcat on Unified CCX Server needs to be restarted.
-
When the supervisor monitors the Team Performance report and during the time if there’s any update or modification done to
the team, this doesn't get updated automatically. The supervisor should refresh the browser page or select the respective
team again to view the Team Performance report.
-
Use of two(2) wildcard CTI Route Points that overlap with each other isn’t supported. For example, Route Point 1: 123XXXX
and Route Point 2: 1234XXX overlap with one another and isn’t supported.
However, a wildcard CTI Route point can overlap with a full DID (best match pattern) that doesn't contain a wildcard. For
example, Route Point 1: 123XXXX and Route Point 2: 1234567 is supported.
-
A discrepancy in reports is observed when a call is transferred using Cisco Jabber by multiple agents in the same call flow.
Use the Cisco Finesse desktop to transfer calls.
-
SIP URI dialing for CTI route points, CTI ports, and agent extensions.
-
Mid-Call Caller ID updates when the call is routed to Unified CM through MGCP gateway.
Note
|
When incoming calls are routed to Unified CM through MGCP gateway, any mid-call caller ID updates are reflected only after
the call is connected.
|
Unsupported actions for Unified CCX agents
Use of the following softkeys on a Cisco Unified IP Phone isn’t supported:
-
Barge
-
cBarge
-
DND
-
GPickup
-
iDivert
-

-
Park
-
Pickup
Unsupported configurations for agent phones
The following configurations aren’t supported for agent phones:
-
Two lines on an agent phone that have the same extension but exist in different partitions.
-
Configuring the same Unified CCX extension in more than one device profile, or configuring the same Unified CCX extension
in any combination of device profiles and devices. (Configuring a Unified CCX extension in a single device profile is supported.)
-
Silent Monitoring by supervisors who are logged in with Extend and Connect.
-
In the Unified Communications Manager Administration Directory Number Configuration web page for each Unified CCX line, setting
Maximum Number of Calls to a value other than 2.
-
In the Unified Communications Manager Administration Directory Number Configuration web page for each Unified CCX line, setting
Busy Trigger to a value other than 1.
-
No Cisco Unified Communications Manager device can be forwarded to the Unified CCX extension of an agent.
-
The Unified CCX extension of an agent can’t be configured to forward to a Cisco Unified CCX Trigger or CTI route point.
-
Configuring the Unified Communications Manager Intercom feature.
-
Configuring the Hold Reversion feature.
-
Agent extensions can’t be added to hunt lists or hunt groups. If an agent has only one line, the agent phone can’t be part
of a hunt list or hunt group. In case of multiple lines, none of the first four configured lines must be part of the hunt
group. For more details on multiple lines support and the number of monitored lines, see the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express Design Guide, located at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/customer-collaboration/unified-contact-center-express/products-implementation-design-guides-list.html.
-
Call Forward All to extensions which Unified CCX doesn’t have control over. For example, if an agent extension has Call Forward
All to a PSTN extension or Directory Number on another cluster which Unified CCX is unaware of.
-
All the Cisco IP Phones for Cisco Finesse IP Phone Agent currently don’t support the Simplified New Call UI.
Supported configurations for agent phones
To determine the phone devices that are supported by Cisco Finesse and for use by Cisco Finesse IP Phone agents, see the Unified
CCX Compatibility related information located at: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/customer-collaboration/unified-contact-center-express/products-device-support-tables-list.html.
The following configurations are supported on agent phones:
-
A Unified CCX extension that is configured on a single device (but not on multiple devices).
-
A Unified CCX extension that is configured in a single device profile (but not in multiple device profiles).
-
Multiple agents sharing the same Unified CCX extension, which you can set up as follows:
-
Configure the Unified CCX extension to a single phone (not in a device profile).
-
Associate the phone with all the agents who use this extension.
-
Select the appropriate directory number (DN) as the Unified CCX extension for each agent.
In this configuration, only one agent at a time can be logged in.
Note
|
All agents who currently have the Unified CCX extension to be shared must log out before you configure more agents to share
that extension.
|
-
Video is now supported if you’re using Cisco Jabber for Windows as the agent phone. The agent desktop where Jabber is used
for Video should comply to the Cisco Jabber hardware requirements listed in the Cisco Jabber for Windows 11.0.x and 11.1.x Release Notes , located at:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/11_0/RN/JABW_BK_C5E7828C_00_cisco-jabber-windows-11-release-notes.html.
Unsupported and supported configurations for remote agents
Unified CCX supports Cisco Expressway 8.7.1. The current version of Cisco Expressway doesn’t support BiB and thus the Contact
Center can’t achieve silent monitoring and recording functionalities.
Unsupported features in Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Business Edition 6000
The following Unified Communications Manager features aren’t supported by Unified CCX. These features are disabled by default
and you shouldn’t enable them for Unified CCX. For more information about these features, see the Unified Communications Manager
documentation, located at:
https://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/tsd_products_support_series_home.html.
-
Block External to External Transfer.
-
DSCP IP CTIManager to Application service parameter.
You can enable this service parameter for Unified Communications Manager, but doing so doesn’t affect Unified CCX.
-
Advanced Ad Hoc Conference Enabled service parameter.
-
Drop the Ad Hoc conference when the creator leaves the conference.
-
Signaling (QSIG) Path Replacement (PR).
This feature must be disabled when Unified CCX is deployed. To disable this feature, set the Unified Communications Manager
service parameters Path Replacement Enabled and Path Replacement on Tromboned Calls to False.
-
Forced Authorization Code and Client Matter Code.
Because these features can be enabled per route pattern, you should turn them off for all route patterns in the Unified Communications
Manager cluster that Unified CCX might use. Enabling these features for route patterns that Unified CCX doesn’t use and doesn’t
affect Unified CCX.
-
Multilevel precedence and preemption (MLPP).
You can enable this feature for devices in the cluster that don’t interact with Unified CCX.
-
Don’t use Unified Communications Manager Administration to add or change CTI ports or route points that are used by Unified
CCX or application users that are created by Unified CCX.
Unsupported features in Custom reports
-
The Do Not Call field is no longer available. While upgrading, a report won’t be generated if the Do Not Call column is present in the custom report. You can generate the report by removing the Do Not Call column from the custom reports.
-
A Custom report that was created from a Unified CCX Stock Report may not work as expected if the report definition of the
original Stock Report is modified in the new release.
