Learn More About the Settings Page in MAX

The Settings page in MAX allows you to control the look, feel, and performance of your agent application. Your preferences are retained even if you log in with a different work station or clear your browser data. The following sections provide explanations of the many different settings accessible through the Settings page, and are organized by the main options of the Settings page: Display, Accessibility, A/V Notifications, Integrated Softphone, and Voice Threshold.

Display

Multi Chat Display	Click this area to display multiple chats side-by-side, or one at a time. The default setting is On.
Panels	Click this area to turn panels on or off. Off displays screen pops as an external browser page. Ondisplays screen pops inside MAX next to the contact. Note that popped webpages must support being displayed within an iframe in order to be displayed properly inside MAX.

Accessibility

Field	Details
ADA High Contrast	Click this area to turn high contrast coloring in MAX on and off.
ADA Screen Reader	Click this area if you use a screen reader. When this setting is turned on, MAX is optimized for your needs. For example, popover windows appear with an X icon and a tab-stop there.

Integrated Softphone

This settings menu is only available when an agent has logged in using an integrated softphone for the voice connection. This menu contains the following settings:

Field	Details
Volume	Controls the volume of the integrated softphone output device (usually a headset). The volume slider only impacts the volume of the audio path for the call and not the ringtone.
Auto-Accept	On / Off. This setting applies only to Integrated Softphone agents in an Available state whose agent leg is not connected. With this setting On, MAX will automatically connect and accept incoming phone calls despite the agent leg being disconnected. When Off, the agent will be presented with an Accept or Reject option each time a call is offered to the agent. Administrators can force this setting on or off using the Agent Softphone: Auto-Accept setting. If forced off, the setting does not display for the agent and calls will not be automatically accepted. Note: if an agent is in an Available state and has their agent leg connected, calls will automatically be delivered without an accept/reject option. The default Auto-answer feature provides this functionality, which optimizes call delivery as the system assumes that a connected agent is actively waiting to handle incoming calls. If you have both Supervisor and MAX open in Chrome while using the MAX Integrated Softphone, you may experience calls automatically accepted even with this setting Off. The Supervisor feature which enables the ability to coach, monitor, or take-over calls supersedes the Accept or Reject option and automatically connects the voice path. You can run Supervisor and MAX in different browsers to avoid unexpected calls being connected.
Ringtone	Ring 1 (default) / Ring 2 / Ring 3 / None. Sets the ringtone played to the agent while MAX waits for a manual Accept or Reject from the agent. Only available if Auto-Accept is off.
Device	This dropdown lists all connected speaker devices as well as none. The agent's selection determines the secondary speaker device that plays the ringtone while MAX waits for a manual Accept or Reject from the agent. Only available if Auto-Accept is off.
Delay Seconds	This dropdown lists 1 - 10 as well as none. The agent's selection determines how many seconds the secondary device will wait before it plays the ringtone. Only available if Auto-Accept is off.

Voice Threshold

This setting only appears if you are assigned a Personal Connection skill and are in an unavailable state.

Calibrate the ability for MAX to distinguish between the volume of your voice when speaking to a contact and other background noise. Click Tune to receive an automated call, prompting you to speak several sentences to fine-tune the ability of MAX to detect your voice. Be sure to speak clearly and with the same volume that you would use when interacting with a contact. Also, when the prompt asks you to remain silent, do not mute yourself to mask the background noise.
