Nextiva Call Center: Dispositions

Dispositions in Nextiva represent the outcomes of work items that users assign after they terminate them. Users select the appropriate disposition from a drop-down list, accurately categorizing the outcome of the work item.

Creating Dispositions

  2. Click Plus (+) to the right of the Search field. Enter the required information: 
    • Name: The name of the Disposition.  
    • Description: The description of the Disposition. 
    • Workitem type: Click the checkboxes beside the workitem types that can be assigned this Disposition.
  3. Click OK. The below Disposition fields are optional, depending on customer requirements. 

  4. Click Save when done.

System Integration Tab

Field Name

Description

Note

A message will be displayed to the agent when the disposition action calls the API correctly.

REST API

The field that holds the appropriate REST API from the API Object. 

Options Tab

Field Name

Description

Resolved

Enabling Resolved will mark the workitem as Resolved, indicating no further action is required.

Force Survey Validation

Enabling Force Survey Validation is used with surveys. If a survey has a mandatory field that is not completed, select a disposition with Force Survey Validation, which will alert the user to complete the required fields before selecting this disposition.

Connect Again

For predictive/progressive calls, Enabling Connect Again will allow you to call back the customer. This changes the workitem ID and allows the agent to contact the lead with a different phone number.

Block Number

Enabling Block Number will add the number associated with the workitem to the Blocked Numbers table.

Force Contact Assignment

If enabled, when a user selects the configured disposition and there’s a contact assigned to the workitem, it will be dispositioned. If there’s no contact assigned, a pop-up window will appear saying that a contact must be assigned to the workitem.

User Profiles Tab

A disposition assigned to the user profile is a subset of the dispositions assigned to the campaign.

If the campaign has ten dispositions: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J, and the user profile has 5 A, B, C, D, and E, then only A, B, C, D and E will be presented to the user when dispositioning a work item.

If the campaign has five dispositions assigned C, D, E, F, and G, and the user profile has 5 A, B, C, D, and E when the user dispositions a workitem from this campaign, only the union of the two lists will be shown C, D, and E.

If there is no union, the entire list of dispositions is presented. This is a protection against a bad configuration.

If there are no possible dispositions on the user’s UI, they will be stuck with that workitem on their screen and unable to get any other ACD workitems. They can handle non-ACD workitems, but the undispositioned workitems will stack up on their UI until someone fixes the bad configuration.

Assigning User Profiles to Dispositions  

  1. Once the Disposition has been saved, click Plus (+) under User Profiles to select which User Profiles should be assigned this Disposition.
  2. Click OK. Once saved, the user profile(s) assigned to this Disposition will be presented in the Disposition User Profile list.
