Caller Information Popup on Call Arrival (ScreenPop)

The caller information is displayed on the SAP CRM Agent Notification Page as soon as the call arrives. 

Search In  Accounts, Contacts, And Individual Customer

An incoming call phone number is searched in  Accounts, Contacts, or in Individual Customer Entities. SAP CRM manages the search by Itself and searches in all these entities If only the record is found it will display in the Agent notification bar with the match customer name and number. The agent Needs to click on that notification to open the record inside the CRM.

INFO

SAP CRM doesn't search in the Lead Entity for Screen pop

No ANI Match

In the case, that the customer record is not available on either of the Account, Contact, or Individual Customer, It will display the Unknown Caller on the CTI Agent Notification bar. 

If the agent clicks on that Notification bar, the Activity page will open, and then the agent has a choice to create the New Contact / Account/ Individual customer by selecting the appropriate entity from the CRM Manually.

Multiple matches

Note

In the case of a Consult call, On Agent B, System will do the screen pop based on customer ANI. 

Multi-Match Case Activity Limitation

In the case of a Multi-match case, Activity will be created however this will not be linked with the customer record. Agent manually needs to link this with the customer account. 

Phone Call Activity / Call Wrap-up

Activity is created as soon as the agent click on the Agent Notification bar.  Any call notes that you write while handling the call agent need to explicitly click on the save button, only then activity along with notes will be saved.
