Call Management
This section covers the core operational flows for handling calls inside Uniconnect Edge: inbound, outbound, consult (new call during active session), transfers, conferencing and wrap‑up behavior.
Inbound Calls
- Incoming notification displays caller name/number and rings via selected audio device.
- Agent clicks Answer (or auto‑answer activates if enabled).
- Active call view shows controls: Mute, Hold, Transfer, Merge, Keypad (DTMF), Notes.
- End call with End Call; if wrap-up workflow is configured a summary/disposition panel appears.
In-Call Actions
- Mute / Unmute microphone
- Place on hold & resume
- Blind or attended transfer
- Start a conference (add or merge)
- Open keypad for IVR / secure DTMF entry
- Add internal notes (if CRM link enabled)
Outbound Calls
- Open the Dial Pad or select from Recents / Contacts.
- Enter destination number or pick a contact.
- Click Call; status transitions Dialing → In Call when connected.
- Use standard in‑call controls; finish with End Call.
New Consult Call (Parallel Call)
Used to speak with a third party before completing a transfer or forming a conference.
- While on an active call, open the dial pad again and place a second call (original call auto‑holds).
- Toggle between the two calls as needed.
- Either transfer the original caller, merge to conference, or end one leg independently.
Blind Transfer
Directly redirect a live call without consultation.
- Click Transfer.
- Enter extension / number.
- Confirm transfer; agent disconnects immediately.
Attended (Consult) Transfer
- During the active call, initiate a New Call to target recipient.
- Provide context; confirm availability.
- Complete the transfer (original and consulted leg connect, you disconnect) or merge all parties.
Conference Call
Two methods:
- Add Participant: From active call choose conference/add, dial participant, auto‑merge on answer.
- Merge Two Calls: Have two active legs (one on hold), select Merge to form a multi‑party session.
Participant Awareness
Future enhancement placeholder: display roles (active / on-hold / pending) (TODO).
Auto Answer
Optional feature for rapid contact center workflows:
- Enable in Settings → Call Settings.
- Auto answers after a brief delay with audio routed to default device.
Multi-Account Handling
If the agent profile has multiple accounts/tenants, a selector (planned) will allow switching context for outbound identification and logging (TODO details).
Keyboard Shortcuts (Planned)
