Other Settings

Client admin can configure other client-level settings such as:

Time Zone

Client admin can configure the time zone for a tenant using time zone settings. The administrator can even search a time zone by directly typing the time zone name in the Time Zone drop-down list rather than scrolling through the exhaustive time zones list. The time zones are sorted in the ascending order of their offset values. The time zones that share the same offset value are sorted alphabetically. Once a time zone is configured, all message time stamps and reports will display information per the time zone configured here.

📘

Note:

  • In general, the default time zone value remains tenant time zone and is highlighted in grey for easier identification.
  • The user time zone takes precedence over the tenant time zone.

API IP Access Restriction

Client admin can configure the IPs that are allowed to access the Webex Engage APIs.

Auto Logout Settings

By default, all teams within a tenant follow the auto logout duration set at the team level. However, client admins can override this behaviour and enable all teams to follow a single auto logout duration by turning ON the Override Team Settings toggle.

📘

Note:

  • The administrative users (client admins and group admins) will always inherit the tenant level auto log out settings configured by the client admin. This is irrespective of the team level auto log out settings configured by the team managers.
  • The user will not be logged out of the application even after the configured period of inactivity if they are on the Client Admin or Customer Care Console dashboards.

Configure Customer ID

Client admin can define the character type (Numeric/Alphanumeric) and maximum character limit for the Customer ID field within a tenant.

Enable Emojis on Customer Care Console

Client admin can use this toggle button to turn emojis on or off on the channels supported by the Webex Engage application. These emojis are Unicode-based and will render as per the browser's capabilities. The admins can turn default emojis on/off. The admins can click on an emoji to deactivate it, and the emoji will be greyed out. The admins can click on the greyed-out emoji to enable it. The admins can add new emojis to the default list from the emoji list.

📘

Note:

Hover on an emoji to view the emoji name.

Add New Emoji

Follow these steps to add new emojis to the default list:

  1. Go to Admin Console > Settings > Other Settings > Enable Emojis on Chat Console.

📘

Note:

  • Webex Engage will support emojis only on Internet Explorer (IE) 12 and above.
  • By default, emojis are enabled for all the tenants and the same configured set of emojis are applicable for 'Chat Console' and 'Feed' (social listening) replies for a tenant
  • The users using Windows OS version 10 and below should download and install Segoe UI Emoji and Segoe UI Symbol font styles to render emojis seamlessly. This method also holds good if emojis are not rendering properly in any of the OS versions.
