  • Agent State Trace – Enable this feature to track every state change made by the agent. This feature is available for up to 100 agents total.
  • Username – Required field. Username used for the new supervisor to sign into Portal or other related contact center applications. The username must be unique and is limited to 20 characters. When signing in, the username is in the form of username@tenant-suffix, in which the username is the name used in the Username field. The tenant-suffix is three characters used to identify the organization or contact center.
  • First Name – Required field. New supervisor's first name.
  • Last Name – Required field. New supervisor's last name.
NOTE:
  • The Username, First Name, and Last Name fields for agents and supervisors support the use of the following ASCII characters:

  • The last character of the Username field may not be a period (.).
  • Agent ID – Required field. New supervisor's ID. The new supervisor must have an agent ID for agent team assignment.
  • Enterprise Name – Required field. Name assigned to the new supervisor in Cisco Configuration Manager.
NOTE:

The Enterprise Name is automatically generated based on the Last Name and First Name fields (LastName_FirstName). This field only supports the use of the underscore (_) and period (.) special characters with the following exceptions:

  • If the first character of the Last Name field is any special character, it is removed when the Enterprise Name is generated.
  • Any unsupported special characters are also removed when the Enterprise Name is generated, regardless of character position.

If the first character of the First Name field is any supported special character, it remains when the Enterprise Name is generated.

  • Agent Description – Optional field. Description of the agent used in Cisco Configuration Manager.
  • Person Description – Optional field. Enter a description of the person in this field, if needed.

  • Password – Optional field. Enter a password to assign to the new supervisor.
NOTE:

If the Password field is left blank, a password is automatically generated for the supervisor. The generated password is as follows:

  • <First Character of First Name in Uppercase> + <First Character of Last Name in Lowercase> + <Phone Number> + !!
  • An example generated password for an agent named Tim Smith, with the phone number 555-123-0001, would be: Ts5551230001!!

If the first character of the First Name and Last Name fields contain any special characters, the password fails to automatically generate. In this case, enter the password manually.

There is also an Active Directory policy in place that requires the password to contain at least one alphabetic character.

  • Email – Optional field. Business email address assigned to the new supervisor. Humanify Portal validates the email address entered across all tenants to ensure it is not currently in use.
