Adding Attributes to Avaya Control Manager

Last Updated : Jul 04, 2022 |

About this task

Add attribute values for categories to support Avaya Oceana® contact routing.

Important:
  • To use the sample self-service applications or workflows to validate contact routing, you must add values for the Language, Service, and Location categories. For the Location category, add the ‘Inhouse’ value for the sample workflows to function correctly.

  • Avaya Oceana® supports viewing Customer Journey in Avaya Workspaces by topic. A topic is an identifier that you can use to correlate intent across multiple channels. For example, a customer inquiry about an insurance claim can traverse across multiple media channels. Topics can unify those interactions in the customer journey. If no topic value exists when a contact is created, a default value is provided. The default value is a combination of the Language and Service attributes, which demonstrates how to link cross-channel interactions that arrived for a topic. The default value can only be provided if Language and Service attribute values exist.

Before you begin

  • Avaya Oceana® Cluster 1 should be in a running and accepting state.

  • On the UI page, attributes are listed based on the logged-in user's permissions to view the Avaya Control Manager groups of Avaya Oceana® attributes. Users can only view attributes that belong to assigned attribute groups.

  • Avaya Control Manager administrators and supervisors should have appropriate Avaya Control Manager groups of attributes assigned as part of groups to view permissions.

  • Avaya Control Manager administrators or supervisors with no groups-to-view permission on attribute groups can view all attributes in the location without restrictions.
