Initial General Configuration

As the main source of information for all types of contact center configuration tasks, this guide generally follows the structure of the main menu of the Contact Center Administrator application. This enables the reader to easily find information about specific configuration resources using the table of contents. This also means that the order in which the information is presented in this guide is not necessarily the order in which you configure the resources of your contact center during your solution setup.

The recommended order of the most common contact center configuration tasks is described in this section. Each configuration step is referenced to a specific topic where more details can be found. Note that every configuration step recommended below is optional and depends on your specific environment. Because every contact center is unique, it is impossible to suggest a process that would universally apply to all possible types of installations. Use the information below as general guidelines only.

The table below suggests the order of the initial general contact center configuration that can be recommended regardless of whether the contact center will be used for inbound services, or outbound campaigns, or both.
