Edit Profile

The Edit Profile page maintains contact information, the language preference for the agent menu on the user's machine and notes about each machine ID/group ID account. Profile information can be maintained in three other places:

To change user accounts settings:

  1. Select a machine ID in the paging area.
  2. Enter Notes, Admin Email, Contact Name, Contact Email and Contact Phone information.
  3. Press Update.

Special Instructions

Enter any notes about a machine ID account. Helpful information can include the machine's location, the type of machine, the company, or any other identifying information about the managed machine. These special instructions display when you hover the cursor over an agent status icon with a badge. The Quick View window displays the Special Instructions text in the bottom of the window.

Icon Badge

Add badges to the lower right corner of agent status icons, such as Word 50% / HTML 50%. These badges display everywhere the agent icon displays in the user interface. For example, you could mark a machine with a badge to indicate the customer requires a phone call before anyone works on that machine. Or mark a server with a badge because you should not do anything to it until after hours.

Select one or more machines on the Agent > Configure Agents > Edit Profile page, then click the Icon Badge link at the top of the page and select one of the available badges. You can define a Special Instructions text message for each badge. Click the Update button to assign the badge to selected machines.

When you hover the cursor over an agent status icon with a badge, the Quick View window displays the Special Instructions text in the bottom of the window.
