Console

Select and Forward Multiple Records

Over the past year, Agent Browser User Interface capabilities have been added to match those within the Service Console Client. This includes the ability to select multiple records from report and execute an action on all the selected records.  With this release the Forward action is now supported.

There might be times when you need to forward multiple incidents, tasks, or assets. For example, you might need information from another staff member before you can reply to a customer’s incidents.  When you forward a record, you can attach files, send response files, and add comments.  This feature has been available in the OSvC Service Console for some time and is now also available in the Agent Browser User Interface.

Steps to Enable

While looking at an incident, task, or asset report the user can selection more than one column on the report using the standard drag metaphor or by using a combination of shift-click or control-click actions.  The result of these actions is for the records in the report that were selected to have a different background then the non-selected records.

Once the desired set of records has been highlighed, the user then can either use the right click contextual pop up menu or the report menu to choose the Forward action.

If the Forward action has not been configured to be available for this report, then the Forward item will not be available in neither the right click contextual pop up menu nor the report menu.

Margins and Border Support for Reports in Agent Browser UI

Margins are now supported within reports executed on the Agent Browser UI.  This gives the user the ability to position the contents of elements in a report exactly where they might want them.   Margins can be added to the following elements in a report:
