Cisco Finesse Basic Features: Operator / Supervisor Web App

In this article we’ll describe the most important features of Cisco Finesse agent & supervisor workspace. This software was designed to work with the “hearts” of UCCX and UCCE-based contact centers.

Connecting to Extension Mobility

To access Extension Mobility from a phone:

The phone will be restarted and will get a new profile and number. Similarly, you can log off.

Launching Finesse Agent App
