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:
- Click Services button;
- Enter your User ID and PIN;
- Confirm.
The phone will be restarted and will get a new profile and number. Similarly, you can log off.
Launching Finesse Agent App
- Launch a compatible web browser;
- Enter the URL of your Finesse application;
- On the authorization page, enter:
- ID – the agent’s ID;
- Password;

That’s it. If you need to log off, you should change your status to “Not ready”, “End of shift” or similar status indicating the end of work. Then click “Sign Out” in the upper right corner.
