Abstract: One implementation provides a method for accessing a window previously viewed by a user in a graphical user interface (GUI) during an interaction with an individual. The method includes displaying to the user a first window in the GUI. The first window contains a collapsible/expandable menu. The menu contains an entry that refers to a window previously viewed by the user. Upon selection of the entry in the menu, the method further includes displaying to the user the corresponding window previously viewed by the user in the GUI. The corresponding window has a data-entry field that contains a latest version of information that is related to the interaction with the individual that was previously entered or modified by the user.

Abstract: An improved user interface improves call center agent responsiveness by persistently (i.e., without interruption) displaying key information at fixed locations in an integrated user interface. The integrated user interface may be partitioned into physical areas on the agent's display screen. While some areas of the agent's display screen may rapidly change, at least one area in a reserved location may persistently display a collection of interaction-specific information that the call center agent can view at all times during a call/chat/email session. The user interface persistently displays each piece of key information at a reserved and unchanging physical location on the agent's screen.

Abstract: Various implementations of the present invention provide systems and methods for customized scripting. One implementation provides for a visual display of a script to a user. The user makes use of the script in communicating with a specified person during a session. A computing system receives information relating to a specific session being conducted with the specified person. The computing system then processes the received information to generate output information that specifies a display of a customized script. The customized script contains a standard script determined by the specific session being conducted and information particular to the specified person. The output information is then received at a display device, and a display is generated thereon of the customized script for use by the user during the specific session with the specified person.

Abstract: A method and system for displaying identifiers for one or more series of recordable events is described. A system, such as the system of a digital video recorder, may receive a set of recordable events data, such as a listing of all television shows to be broadcast over a two-week period. The system analyzes the set of recordable events data for determining one or more sets of recordable events, where each set includes recordable events having the same title. The system analyzes each set of recordable events to determine sub-sets of recordable events based on relationships between the recordable events of each sub-set. The system displays an identifier for each sub-set of a given set of recordable events when the given set of recordable events is selected for display. A user may select to record a sub-set of recordable events by selecting the identifier that represents the sub-set.

Abstract: An agent or customer representative can use a graphical user interface (GUI) when the agent is in contact with one or more customers. In a computer-implemented method for providing navigational aids to the GUI for an interaction center, the method can include displaying the GUI with a work area for an agent and a navigation area. The navigation area can include a standard section with multiple links defined for the agent at a supervisory level and a personalized section of the navigation bar. The personalized section can include one or more links selected by the agent at an agent level from a list of links compiled for the agent in the supervisory level.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for providing a scratchpad window in a graphical user interface (GUI) while using an application that manages an interaction between an agent and an individual. Upon entry of a first selection made by the agent in an application window used by the application and displayed in the GUI to the agent during the interaction with the individual, the method includes displaying the scratchpad window in the GUI and accepting input from the agent that is entered as information into the scratchpad window. Upon entry of a second selection made by the agent in the application window within the GUI, the method further includes importing the information contained within the scratchpad window into a data-entry area of the application window.

Abstract: Automated interaction sequences for interactions with a target group during a marketing campaign are created and monitored using a graphical user interface. A received user input graphically creates an interaction sequence that has one or more actions associated with a target group. The interaction sequence is executed to cause performance of the actions in an automated manner. Responses to the actions are automatically processed.
