= Purpose= The Bright Pattern Contact Center ''Desktop JavaScript API Specification'' describes the Desktop JavaScript API that provides access to a number of functions of the Bright Pattern Contact Center Agent Desktop application from the web pages or IFrames loaded into this application from other domains. For general information about the Bright Pattern Contact Center Agent Desktop application, see the [[#topic_agent-guide/Purpose|''Agent Guide'']]. For information about loading web pages into Agent Desktop from scenarios, see the ''Scenario Builder Reference Guide'', section [[#topic_scenario-builder-reference-guide/WebScreenPop|Web Screen Pop]] block.
[[#topic_desktop-javascript-api-specification/Audience|Next >]]
= Audience= This guide is intended for the IT personnel responsible for the data infrastructure of Bright Pattern Contact Center-based contact centers. Readers of this guide are expected to have expertise in web application development as well as a solid understanding of contact center operations.
[[#topic_desktop-javascript-api-specification/Purpose|< Previous]] | [[#topic_desktop-javascript-api-specification/GeneralInformation|Next >]]
= General Information= The API supports a number of desktop telephony functions, including call initiation, voice and screen recording, interaction completion, and the setting of interaction dispositions and notes. These functions are available via a global object called ''window.bpspat.api''. For example: ''window.bpspat.api.dialNumber(“1234567”);'' The object is created when the script file is included in the web page loaded into the Agent Desktop application as follows: ''<script type="text/javascript" src="[agent-desktop-web-server]/app/libs/servicepatternapi-dev.js"></script>'' For example: ''<script type="text/javascript" src="''[http://barco.brightpattern.com/app/libs/servicepatternapi-dev.js ''https://barco.brightpattern.com/app/libs/servicepatternapi-dev.js'']''"></script>''
