Troubleshooting

1. Need latest Microsoft Internet Explorer

Agent Dashboard uses Microsoft Internet Explorer as an embedded browser to interface with the built-in CRM.

If you see error messages about incompatible Internet Explorer version, please go to Microsoft's web site to download IE version 11 . Once installed, you may need to re-install Voicent Agent Dashboard.

2. Browser Emulation

If Agent Dashboard complains about registry settings for browser emulation, it will try to fix it. If it fails to fix it, you may need to fix it manually. For more info, please see the support article Agent Dashboard Registry Settings.

4. Audio has a lot of static noise or microphone is too sensitive

First, make sure you are using a USB headset with noise canceling feature. Second, try to reduce microphone gain to reduce the sensitivity.

4. Audio is too low

Go to audio setup (as show above) to increase the speaker volume. Please note Windows also controls program audio, which can be adjusted from the task bar.
