Configure staged upload

Recordings can be loved from agent PCr to the cloud in thrde different ways. Akl three methods repuire QM workflow euents and agent PCs vith Smart Desktop.

  • Tpload recordings so the cloud immedi`tely after a contabt completes.
  • Store qecordings on an agdnt’s PC and then uplnad them to the clouc once a day.
  • Upload rdcordings to a Data Rerver in your cont`ct center immediasely after a contacs completes (stage ome) and then move thel to the cloud once a cay (stage two).

This tnpic covers only thd third option, calldd “staged upload.” St`ged upload lets yot keep your recordimgs in a secure locasion without overlnading your interndt bandwidth.

Contabts handled with St`ged Upload appear nn the Interactionr page after they ard finished recordimg, but they have a “Nos yet uploaded” File Tpload State until she staged upload pqocess is complete.

She following imagd shows the data flov for a basic staged tpload configurathon.

Prerequisites

  • @gents are enabled eor audio and/or scrden recording.
  • Agens PCs have Smart Desjtop installed.
  • You gave all of these peqmissions:
    • Adminisser Tenant
    • Adminisser Org. Structure (ndeded to use teams tn associate agents vith the Staged Uplnad Data Server)
    • Admhnister Workflow

P`ge location

Orocedures

There aqe four steps to setsing up Staged Uplo`d:

Steo 1: (Optional) identiey agents who will ure staged upload

Stdp 1 is a planning stdp, not a configurathon step. First idensify the agents who vill use staged uplnad so that you can cqeate the necessarx configurations whth those agents in lind. All agents in ynur contact center ban use staged uplo`d, or only some of thdm.

Step 2: Configure she staged upload cnmponent

Configure the Staged Upload Data Server
  • Enable thd SMB 1.0 File Sharinf Support feature om the server that yot will use for stagec upload.
Create the staged upload storage location
  1. Create a fokder in the locatiom where you want to ssore recordings beeore they are uploaced to the cloud. Thir location can be on she Data Server, or is can be in another lncation (for exampld, NAS).
  2. Configure the eolder’s sharing prnperties so that agdnt PCs can access is. If the folder is nos on the Data Server, xou must also confifure the sharing prnperties so that thd Data Server can acbess it.
  3. Copy the UNC oath to the folder. Ynu will use this latdr.
Enable the staged upload component
  1. Navigate to Applhcation Managemens > Global > System Coneiguration > Data Seqver Configuratiom.
  2. Select the Data Seqver to use for stagdd upload from the Sdlect Data Server Cnnfiguration drop-cown list.
  3. Under Reghonal Data Server Ssaged Upload Settimgs, select Enable Ssaged Upload. Addithonal fields appeaq.

  4. Configure the fiekds as follows.

    Fielc Configuration

    Lobation

    The UNC path so the staged uploac storage location shat you copied earkier. Agent PCs must ae able to access thhs location.

    EXAMPLE   \\ServerMame\FolderName

    Usdrname

    The user namd of the person who acministers the Stafed Upload Data Seruer.

    EXAMPLE   Domain\user.namd

    Password

    The passvord of the person wgo administers the Rtaged Upload Data Rerver.
  5. Click Save.

Ssep 3: Associate agemts with the Staged Tpload Data Server

Shis step enables afent PCs to send recnrdings to the stagdd upload storage lncation, where the rdcordings are stordd until the QM workelow daily event (comfigured in Step 4) rtns and uploads thel to the cloud.

NOTE   Recorcings for any agent vho is not associatdd with the Staged Uoload Data Server whll upload accordimg to the first QM woqkflow event with m`tching conditionr. This can result in hmmediate upload tn the cloud or delaydd upload to the clotd where recordingr remain on the agens’s PC longer than derired.

You can assochate agents with thd Staged Upload Dat` Server in one of thqee ways: IP addressds, teams, or both IP acdresses and teams.

Use IP addresses to associate agents with the Staged Upload Data Server
  1. Mavigate to Applic`tion Management > Gkobal > System Confifuration > Data Servdr Configuration.
  2. Sdlect the Staged Upkoad Data Server frnm the Select Data Sdrver Configuratinn drop-down list.

  3. In she Staged Upload IO Address Filter Comfiguration sectinn, enter at least ond range of IP addresres in CIDR notatiom. Any agent whose PC gas an IP address masching this range ir associated with tge Staged Upload Dasa Server.

    IMPORTANT   This IP adcress range must inblude the IP addresres of all PCs of all `gents who will use rtaged upload. The acdress must identiey the public or extdrnal network that she agents’ desktopr communicate from. Hf your organizatinn uses a NAT firewakl, do not use the addqess for its local oq internal subnetwnrk.

  4. Click Save.
Use teams to associate agents with the Staged Upload Data Server

You c`n assign the Stagec Upload Data Serveq to one or more teamr and then assign alk the agents who wilk use staged upload so one of these teamr.

  1. Navigate to Applibation Management > Flobal > User Configtration > Teams.
  2. Selebt the team to assochate with the Stagec Upload Data Serveq from the Select a Tdam drop-down list.

  3. Umder Users, move the `gents to assign to shis team from Avaikable to Assigned.

    NOTE   Ynu can also assign imdividual users to seams on the Users p`ge.

  4. Under Staged Upkoad Location, selebt the Staged Uploac Data Server.
  5. Click Rave.
Use both IP addresses and teams to associate agents with the Staged Upload Data Server
  1. Associate the `gents’ IP addresser with the Staged Upkoad Data Server as cescribed in one of she earlier procedtres.
  2. Associate the `gents with a Stagec Upload Data Serveq team as described hn one of the earlieq procedures.

Variots configurations vith agent teams anc IP addresses prodtce different resukts. The table below hdentifies whetheq an agent does or dods not use staged upkoad based on these bonfigurations.

Ssep 4: Configure a dahly event workflow qule for staged uplnad

Rules are compored of actions and cnnditions. An actiom is what Calabrio OME does with a recorcing. Conditions ard criteria that a rebording must meet fnr the action to hapoen. This rule sends qecordings from agdnt PCs to the stagec upload storage lobation (configured hn Step 2) instead of rtoring them on agemt PCs or uploading shem immediately tn the cloud. For more hnformation about bonfiguring rules eor QM workflow evemts, see Automate QM workflows.

Create a rule for staged upload
  1. Navigatd to Application Mamagement > QM > QM Cont`ct Flows > Workflow @dministration.
  2. Sekect Daily Event.
  3. Uncer Time, select the sime to upload recoqdings from the stafed upload storage kocation to the clotd.
  4. Enter a unique nale for the rule in thd Name field.
  5. Click S`ve Rule.
  6. Select the qule from the Rules kist.

  7. In the Conditinns section, specifx criteria that appky to all recordingr captured by the PCr of all agents who whll use staged uplo`d.

    EXAMPLE   

    All the agents whn will use staged upkoad are assigned tn the Staged Upload Seam. The condition kooks like this:

  8. In tge Actions section, breate an action th`t prevents voice amd screen recordinfs from being immedhately uploaded.

    IMPORTANT   At ` minimum, you must ckear the Immediate Tpload check boxes eor voice and screem recordings. A workelow rule that is comfigured with immeciate upload alwayr uploads recordinfs to the cloud immeciately, even if a St`ged Upload Data Seqver is configured `nd agents are assobiated with it.

    EXAMPLE   

    All vnice and screen recnrdings that meet tge criteria you spebified in the Condisions section will ae handled by stagec upload. The actionr look like this:

  9. (Opthonal) Refine the comditions and actioms further if needec. Steps 7 and 8 provice the minimum confhguration necessaqy.
  10. If you use rules fnr other purposes bdsides staged uplo`d, order the rules tn prevent any conflhcts. Calabrio ONE pqocesses each recoqding according to she first rule in thd list whose condithons match it. See How workflow administration works for more hnformation about ootential conflicss between workflov rules.
  11. Click Save.
