For Agent to Agent chat, the agent who initiated the chat will appear in the Conversation with field.

For Client to agent chat, if the Collect Info page for the queue treatment is turned on, and all fields are entered, the name of the client initiating the chat will appear in the Conversation with field; any other information entered in the Collect Info page will appear in the User Information section of the chat window (e.g. First name, last name, email address, phone number, and inquiry). 

If Custom Chat Fields have been created and are requested of the customer initiating the chat, these fields appear in the third row of the chat window User Information section. Custom Chat Fields are created in the Client Admin Portal, and must be created separately for each queue in order for them to appear on the Collect Information Screen. If the Custom Fields are enabled, they will appear on the Collect Information Screen as well as in the User Information section of the initiated chat window. If the custom fields are marked Mandatory, the customer must complete these fields and the information will appear, along with the fields, in the initiated chat window. If the Custom Fields are disabled, they will not appear in the initiated chat window, nor will they be presented to the customer on the Collect Information screen.

Note: UNIVERGE BLUE® ENGAGE Agent for Windows Version 11.7 or higher is required for Custom Chat Fields.

For Client to agent chat, if the Collect Info page is turned off, or if fields are left blank, the Conversation with field will display a generic user code of USR###, where ### is substituted by the number assigned to the client (e.g. USR758), and the User Information fields will remain blank with the exception of the Nickname, which is populated with the generic user code and the IP Address.

In order to not miss any messages agent's have the option to turn on a feature that will force new chat sessions and when a client sends a new message to the forefront of their screen, regardless of how many tabs they may have open. To turn on these features click on the Menu tab at the top of the screen and click on Options from the drop down it produces.

From the Options screen, if the agent wishes to have new chat sessions come to the front of their desktop, they would put a checkmark in the Bring chat window to the top when a new chat session is started checkbox. Click OK to have these changes saved and take effect immediately.      

 If the agent wishes to have the chat session brought to the front of their screen each time a client sends a new message they would put a checkmark in the Bring chat window to the top when a new message is received checkbox. Click OK to have these changes saved and take effect immediately. This behavior will only happen if the UNIVERGE BLUE® ENGAGE Agent's main window is currently in focus.
