Business administrators can configure Expertflow CX services and solution components from the Unified Admin Console.

• The business admin can login to the Unified Admin using the user's login credentials defined in Keycloak. 

• The business admin can upload the license information for agents and supervisors.

• The business administrators can select the time zone as per their server location, choose the language that the system should support and can set it as default language.

• The administrators can make various configurations to make the system ready such as add bot connector, add media routing domains, map MRD's to the channel type, create attributes, assign these attributes to agents, create queues, add steps to queues, change maximum task limit for agent's MRD, add channel providers, and can set up a new channel.

• The business administrator is authorized to make other configurations such as adding Web Widget for web chat, add reason codes for being not-ready or logout, add wrap-up forms, add new channel type,  add lists to handle PULL-Mode requests.

• Routes customer interaction requests from any channel to the same conversation and the same agent

• Introduces two ways of routing the requests. Precision routing/Push-mode routing and PULL-mode routing.

• CX routing facilitates categorizing and prioritizing customers in a way that best meets the business requirements.

• A wide range of routing logic that can accurately target and selectively route different classes of customers by prioritized routing treatment

• Implements multi-queue priority to define priority for each queue (1-10 with 10 being the highest). In cases where multiple queues have the same priority, the system considers an individual task’s priority and longest waiting time respectively.

• Introduces Interruptible and Non-interruptible MRDs to define whether a chat MRD should be interrupted if there is a voice call and vice versa.
