ABOUT UNITY WALLBOARD

Unity Wallboard is a Microsoft® Windows® application designed for use with the BroadSoft Call Center Standard or Premium service. Unity Wallboard is an essential tool in providing real-time visibility of queue conditions across the call center. Suitable for call centers of any size, Wallboard is highly configurable and can display any mix of call centers and statistics, presented in a clear line format. By auto sizing to the dimensions of the host PC, customers can make best use of the Wallboard interface by changing the font size and display to their requirements.

STATISTICS REFRESH TIMER

Wallboard is designed to display real-time, daily statistics. All statistics are from midnight the previous day and are automatically reset by Broadworks.
If the Client Call Control service is assigned to the queue in BWKS then the “Calls in Queue” stat will be a real-time stat. All other stats are polled from BWKS on a default 900 second timer. The timer can optionally be configured to a minimum level specified by the Service Provider with the minimum permissible duration being 60 seconds.

LICENSING

Unity Wallboard licenses against the MAC address of the network adaptor of the host PC. To see which MAC is currently licensed click About Unity Wallboard in Settings
