From:

  • Self Help: versions Oxygen 1.1 and later.
  • Service Manager: versions Oxygen 2.0 and later (for using the Service Manager package).

This package enables you to create a virtual agent to provide a set of answers to questions asked by Support persons who require information on data stored in Service Manager. These answers can concern the list of assets (equipment, licenses, contracts), tickets of employees and information on employees.

  • Once the virtual agent is created, the Desktop Studio in edit mode will display a set of procedures grouped in three subfolders, i.e. Assets, Tickets, Employee Directory. Open url.png See the description.
  • Customers can adapt the procedures to the identity of their Operator virtual agent and corporate style guide.

Examples
