Overview

The Verba Recording System supports direct Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) integration as part of the Verba Cisco JTAPI Service. Using this integration the recording system provides access to Cisco UCCX specific call data. 

Multiple new possibilities are available in your Verba Recording System based on the collection of UCCX information: 

  • dialed number searches - search for calls that came through a specific phone number
  • queue-based QM projects - add all calls coming from a queue to a certain quality management project
  • identifying calls of an agent - focus on the calls of a certain agent (no matter where they sit in the contact center)

  • search in IVR input - search for IVR collected information, like customer IDs and zip codes

  • more CDR information - get more insight into the history of your recorded calls

The UCCX integration is only available when using Cisco network-based recording.

Configuring the Cisco Central Recording Service for UCCX integration

In order to read the data of custom fields from UCCX, in the UCCX Metadata Template set the UCCX Property Id of Call Variable X to the identifier of the custom field (as shown in UCCX)

Cisco UCCX integration is built-in into your standard Verba Recording System solution.

Step 1 - The metadata is stored in a pre-configured metadata template. To use the built-in Cisco UCCX template, associate it with the desired Verba user group (the group where your UCCX agents and supervisors are) via the following web interface configuration page:
Users / Groups / <select a group> / Metadata Template Association

Step 2 - On the Verba web interface, navigate to System / Servers, select the Recording Server where the Verba Cisco JTAPI Service is enabled.

Step 3 - Click on the Change Configuration Settings tab and expand the Cisco JTAPI Configuration / Cisco UCCX Integration section.

Step 4 - Type the IP addresses of your UCCX servers into the Cisco UCCX IP Address(es) field. Master and Slave UCCX servers should be listed in the same row separated by commas. Independent UCCX servers should be separated by new lines.

Step 5 - Click on the  icon to save your settings.

Step 6 - A notification banner will appear on the top. Click on the click here link, so you will be redirected to the Configuration Tasks tab. Click on the Execute button in order to execute the changes.

After executing the steps above, UCCX related metadata is being collected for all new calls. Check Call Details.

You can show Cisco UCCX metadata as columns in your search results by modifying the Conversation list layout.
