inContact Workforce Optimization Widgets Overview
inContact Workforce Optimization offers a variety of widgets which users can choose to display on their Home tabs. Administrators can control which widgets are available to users by adding new widgets, editing existing widgets, and deleting widgets from those available.
Adding or deleting a widget cycles the application pool in IIS, and requires a page refresh and new login to see changes. This will force a logout for all connected users and should be performed outside of regular business hours.
With appropriate permissions, you can view the Home Tab Widgets list, found on the Web Portal Settings page, to see the widgets currently available in your system.
Administrators can upload new versions of existing widgets if they become available. If the file names are identical, inContact WFO will prompt for confirmation to overwrite the existing widget. Uploading a new version resets the widget's date to the current day.
The maximum number of widgets that will be listed per page is determined by the Number of Items to Display setting, found preceding the Home Tab Widgets section on the Web Portal Settings page. If more widgets than that are uploaded, pagination will be used to view the rest.
Achievement Widget
The Achievement widget allows users to view information about achievement awards. Agents can view a list of achievements they have received as well as any achievements potentially available to them. Agents can also see achievements awarded to other agents. Managers and supervisors, as well as agents, can also use this widget to view a list of high-scoring agents and newly-added achievement types.
Information displayed on the widget can be filtered to include only achievements and points received by specific inContact Groups.
inContact Groups are displayed on the widget with the name of the group in inContact WFO at the time the achievement was awarded. If this name is changed after the achievement is awarded, the achievement is still displayed with the old group name.
For information about creating and managing achievement awards, see Achievements Overview.
