ABSTRACT:
Allowing an agent to customize their CTI terminal with respect to a variety of terminal attributes such as those associated with previous phone activity, configuration information such as color, and graphical statistical representation of ACD center information. The telecommunication agent is able to store information defining this customization and to retrieve it at another CTI terminal at a later point in time. The storage of the customization information is performed as a file on a file server common to all CTI terminals. The result is that no software must be custom written for the file server in order to allow the saving of customized information. In addition, the programs controlling the CTI terminals are independent of the communication protocol that is utilized between the CTI terminals and the file server. A second embodiment of the invention allows the administrator of a call center to specify that each group of agents will utilize the same customization information. This group customization information is stored on each CTI terminal which reduces the real time load on the file server when a new agent work session starts. Also, each CTI terminal periodically polls the file server to see if a new set of group customization information has been stored on the file server. Call center administrators will routinely store new group customization information on the file server. If a new set of group customization information has been stored on the file server, the CTI terminal accesses this information and stores it internal to the CTI terminal.
