Respond Using Alternate Email

The OE_SVC_SENDMAIL_SINGLE_ADDRESS configuration option is used to specify whether a response is sent to all email addresses that have been captured for a particular contact, or allows the agent to choose a single email address for the list on email addresses that have been captured.  If the OE_SVC_SENDMAIL_SINGLE_ADDRESS configuration option is set to No, then the response is sent to all email addresses for the primary contact.  If OE_SVC_SENDMAIL_SINGLE_ADDRESS configuration option is set to Yes, then the response editor User Interface is changed to allow the agent to select from the available email addresses.  Please see the figure below for the user interface that is rendered in the case that the configuration option is set to true.

Steps to Enable

  1. Open the Configuration Options Editor
  2. Search for the OE_SVC_SENDMAIL_SINGLE_ADDRESS configuration option
  3. Change the value to Yes

HTML Format Type Support for Workspace Answer Control

Previous to this release, if an Answer Control was placed on a workspace and configured to render an answer that has been created as one of type HTML, then the Agent Browser User Interface would render a link that the agent would then click to bring up a separate browser window to view the loaded answer.  With this release, that has been rectified so that the HTML answer is now rendered in the Agent Browser User Interface itself, not requiring the additional click by the agent or the additional browser window to view the contents of the Answer.
