Snapper Classic for Microsoft Teams User Guide
The Anywhere365 Snapper can be used to display real-time information about a UCC A Unified Contact Center, or UCC, is a queue of interactions (voice, email, IM, etc.) that are handled by Agents. Each UCC has its own settings, IVR menus and Agents. Agents can belong to one or several UCCs and can have multiple skills (competencies). A UCC can be visualized as a contact center “micro service”. Customers can utilize one UCC (e.g. a global helpdesk), a few UCC’s (e.g. for each department or regional office) or hundreds of UCC’s (e.g. for each bed at a hospital). They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location..
Dashboard
The dashboard gives you a quick insight of what is currently happening in the selected UCC.
Below each component of the Dashboard from top left to bottom right.
DCI
Note
DCI needs to be configured, see: Configure Direct Call Interceptor (DCI) for Snapper
Description
The DCI (Direct Call Interceptor) offers the functionality of the Interceptor to customers who are federated When using Anywhere365 in combination with Federation you can add agents working with a Skype for Business or Teams account to your UCC. or in a hosted solution. It lets Anywhere365 handle your outbound dialogue.
Button Behavior
When the requirements are met the user can typ or click in a number, then press enter or click on the call sign. The UCC will now setup a call to the user and then call the entered number.
Call on Behalf
Note
The selected UCC will determine in which UCC the outbound dialogue will be done from.
Note
The UCC setting "UseOutboundAudioRecording" needs to be set to true to enable Call on Behalf menu.
As of bundle DC2024.01 the settings EnableOutboundInterception needs to be set to true to enable Call on Behalf menu.
The DCI will use the agents Call on Behalf endpoint for the outbound dialogue, see: Call on Behalf
UCC Switch
Description
When the user is an agent or supervisor in multiple UCC you can use this drop down to switch between UCC. By default the UCC are auto-discovered or can be added manual using the settings.
Behavior
When opening the dropdown you will see a list of all the found UCC (auto-discovery) and added UCC using the settings.

- Nothing (added manually)
- Agent
- Supervisor
- Supervisor / Agent
Some controls will only be active when you are a supervisor.
Formal change
The last icon show what your current state (Formal active / inactive) is, these can be:
- Green with lock icon = Informal agent When you create an 'Informal Agent' in the agent list, then this agent will be part of the agent circle as soon as he signs in to his Skype for Business or Teams client. In contrast, by marking the checkbox 'Formal' upon creating a new agent, the agent first has to actively sign in to the UCC to be available for call distribution., you cannot sign out of the UCC.
- Green = Formal agent A Formal Agent is able to sign in and sign out of the UCC. This can be achieved when the Agent sends a start or stop command to the Skype for Business client of the UCC., active. Click to sign out.
- Red = Formal agent, not active. Click to sign in.

Call Statistics
Description
This item shows you the call statistics of the selected UCC for today. You can manipulate the values using the settings. More details can be seen by clicking on the item.

Note
The Snapper uses a simplified source for the statistics compared to the Dialogue Intelligence (reports).

Differences:
- Dialogue Intelligence distinguishes between Missed and QuickDrop, Snapper combines them as Missed.

Dialogue details
Incoming / IVR
Show Audio, Chat and Autonomous Dialer in IVR Interactive Voice Response, or IVR, is a telephone application to take orders via telephone keypad or voice through a computer. By choosing menu options the caller receives information, without the intervention of a human operator, or will be forwarded to the appropriate Agent..
Show Audio, Chat. Email, Campaign Dialer and Autonomous Dialer in Queue.
Actions (Agent and calls only):
- Take = Take the call directly from the queue.
Connected
Show Audio, Chat. Email, Campaign Dialer and Autonomous Dialer connected.
Actions (Supervisor only, Learn More):
- Listen – Join conversation silently (neither Agent nor Customer can hear Supervisor speak)
- Whisper – Join conversation in whisper mode (Agent can hear Supervisor speak but Customer cannot)
- Speak- Join conversation in talk mode (Both Agent and Customer can also hear Supervisor speak)
- TakeOver- Take over conversation instead of agent (Agent gets muted but can still listen, Supervisor and Customer can both speak to each other)
Note
In TakeOver mode the Supervisor becomes primary owner of the conversation instead of the Agent. This means when Supervisor ends the call while in this mode the enitre conversation will be terminated (i.e. call will also be ended for both agent and customer).
When Supervisor reverts back or is still in another mode (Listen, Whisper or Speak) and ends the call, only Supervisor leaves the call and Agent and customer remain connected.
Important
As of Bundle DC2024.01 whenever a supervisor joins or leaves an ongoing call a discrete audio tone will be played to the Agent to alert them of the change in presence of a supervisor.
Quality
Show Audio, Chat. Email, Campaign Dialer and Autonomous Dialer in QM.

Advanced Statistics view
Warning
Collecting and sending of Advanced Statistics data is not enabled by default on Dialogue Cloud. For the Advanced Statistics to be shown in Snapper, Advanced Statistics need to be enabled from Dialogue Cloud on request. Use with caution! Advanced Statistics were developed for on-premise deployments of Anywhere365 and Snapper where the bandwidth and latency of real-time data streams to ALL active Snappers can be monitored and controlled.

Warning
Enabling Advanced Statistics may cause substantial higher data traffic in rich deployments (with many skills, or agents, or calls, or conversation-state-changes, or presence changes, or combinations thereof) or low bandwidth which may cause throttling Throttling, in the context of a software cloud delivery service, is the practice of temporarily suspending or diminishing access to a service offering to a cloud customer. Because cloud platforms are mostly multi-tenant, shared platforms and the usage at any moment of many customers is unpredictable, throttling is a normal and logical procedure of retaining a cloud service for all customers, sometimes at the expense of one or a handful of customers who are at that time using too many resources for the backend platform. Not only a customer itself, but also a "noisy neighbour" on the same platform can be the cause of throttling. Usually service will be resumed at a normal level after a short cool-down period, but can even take up to 24 hours or more. In Microsoft 365 throttling is usually indicated by "429 errors" or "server too busy" messages in logfiles or replies. issues resulting in delayed or incorrect portrayal of the status of your UCC. This can have a detrimental effect on ALL metrics and functions in your Snapper. Advice is to use only use on networks under full control. (i.e. not the internet)
