Genesys GCP-GCX - Questions & Answers

The most likely reason for a user not seeing the phone call icon on the left pane is that the user is not assigned the appropriate role. A role is a collection of permissions that define what a user can do or see in Genesys Cloud CX. A permission is a granular setting that controls access to a specific feature or function.
To make or receive calls in Genesys Cloud CX, a user needs to have certain permissions assigned to their role, such as Telephony > Plugin > All and Telephony > Call > Control > All. If a user does not have these
permissions, they will not see the phone call icon on the left pane and will not be able to use telephony features.

Microservices Architecture is an architectural approach that is used to develop a single application as a suite of small services. Microservices Architecture is a design pattern that breaks down an application into independent components or modules that communicate with each other through well-defined interfaces or APIs. Microservices Architecture enables faster development, deployment, scaling, testing, and maintenance of applications by allowing each service to run in its own process and be managed by a small team.

No, deleting an inactive agent from the queue will not affect the metrics that Alex is monitoring in queue reports in Genesys Cloud CX Performance menu. A queue report is a report that shows various metrics and details related to queue performance and activities in Genesys Cloud CX. A queue report can help you measure and improve various aspects of your queue, such as: Service level Abandon rate Average speed of answer Average handle time Interaction volume Deleting an inactive agent from the queue will not affect the metrics that Alex is monitoring in queue reports because: A queue report only counts interactions that spent time in the queue, but an agent-based report counts any interactions an agent worked with. This means that the totals in a queue report and an agent-based report may not match exactly, even if they include the same agents or queues. This is because a queue is a stand-alone entity from the perspective of Genesys Cloud CX reports, and queue metrics and agent metrics can differ for various reasons, such as: An inactive agent is an agent who has not logged in to Genesys Cloud CX or has logged out. An inactive agent does not affect the metrics in queue reports because they do not contribute to various metrics and details related to queue performance and activities, such as:

The call was transferred to voicemail after a timeout by a routing strategy.
The call was handled by an IVR or a bot without reaching an agent Flow-outs can affect various metrics in Genesys Cloud CX Performance menu , such as : Flow-out Count : The number of calls that flowed out of a queue or an agent group during a specified period of time .
Flow-out Rate : The percentage of calls that flowed out of a queue or an agent group during a specified period of time .
