--------------------------------------------------------
Previous Revision History in SightMax 7.5:

Fixed and Improved - Server Side OverSight (Dashboard) Report Generation and Database Caching - Reporting is now about 2000% (at least) faster, allowing you to generate months of reporting data in just seconds!  We created the Dashboard as an interactive reporting system that displays and manages a massive amount of historical data. With all the data management it took us awhile to get it ironed out and but we got it fixed and its fast now!

New! Peek Messaging -This cool feature allows Operators to get a head start on their answers while in chat by letting them view each and every character that the visitor types in real-time...before it's actually sent! Operators can prepare responses as visitors' type, which saves valuable time.

New! Campaign Conversion Tracking -  Wow, our developers went all out on this one.  It took awhile, but it's really great.  You can now create Campaign tracking and watch specific campaign URL’s, such as campaigns set up in Google Adwords, or Bing.  Or you can create Chat campaigns, whereby for example, when a chat starts and the visitor ends up in a shopping cart page as a result of the chat, SightMax would count that as a conversion.  Our conversion tracking module allows you to create campaigns based on cost per click, duration of the campaign, or you can turn the campaign on or off. Campaign tracking would not be complete without our vast OverSight Dashboard reporting engine. With this, we've given you ways to see your results at a glance or to get really interactive and massage the results to your liking and drill down to the specific visitor and chat.  Finally, we've included new Business rules for campaigns and conversion allowing you to create additional triggers when campaigns are fired.

Improved! - Invites and Text Invites - We have reworked the javascript for the invite engine. Invites now slide down from the middle of the screen and scroll with the visitor.  There's also an invite which "dims" the screen with the invite in the foreground.

New! Operator Avatars - We've added the ability to dynamically add an operator avatar (picture) when an operator answers a new chat.  Simply drop your images into the SightMaxAgentInterface Images/Operator directory and the chat engine handles the rest.  Avatars even change when a chat is transferred.  This feature has been requested by many, so we are glad to accommodate!

New and improved Business Rules - New Business triggers have been added to 7.5, they are:

Campaign Triggered - Triggers when the defined campaign condition is true.

Campaign Conversion - Triggers when defined campaign is converted.

Queue Changes Status - When the queue status changes, you can select an action to take.  For example, if the queue status changes to offline, the system can be setup to email the queue administrator that the queue is offline.

New! Queue Column added to Visitor Dashboard - Several requests have been made to allow visitor data in the OverSight Dashboard to be sorted by queue, we listened and have added the Queue column to the interactive visitor grid.

--------------------------------------------------------
Previous Revision History in SightMax 7.1:

New! OverSight Interactive Reporting Engine Speed Enhancements -- Reports are 1000% faster and resources greatly reduced with the enhancements made to the “dashboard” reporting engine. With creative programming and your needs in mind reporting is lightning fast; bringing you faster results.

New! Visitor Activity Report Enhancement - We added a session “start time” to the Visitor Activity Report dashboard data grid for enhanced grouping/sorting capabilities. Track visitors and run reports beginning with your visitors’ first website footprints and throughout their visit, including chat time, if applicable.

New! Enhanced Historical Chat History - With the power of our creative data mining development processes the historical chat history data feature has been a greatly enhanced with fantastic new searching capabilities. You can now search by chat name, email address, terms contained in the body of chat sessions, chat tags or on any combination of the search fields, for example: You wish to search for chat name, "Eric", with an email address of sales@sightmax.com; search term of "iPhone™"; date range of June 1, 2010 through June 9, 2010. SightMax will then begin the search, bringing up chats that match the exact criteria entered.

New! Auto Detect Language Translation Engine - In order to further simplify and eliminate any language barriers, we have implemented a brand new translation engine that automatically detects 52 languages! Very simply, when the visitor begins typing in their native language, SightMax automatically detects the language and the visitor's chat segments are translated in real time into the Operator's default language. Operator may also gauge the auto detection by adjusting the confidence level within the Operator console.

Here is a listing of all 52 languages recognized: Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Cherokee, Chinese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh and Yiddish.

Example: As the Operator types in English the chat segments are automatically translated on-the-fly to the website visitors' language. Note: If English is not the Operators primary language, the Operator can easily change the default language within their Operator Console. The translation feature will function in the same manner, allowing for fluid live chat discussion between Operators and Visitors from all parts of the world. We think that is pretty cool!

Dragos 8:51:24 AM SightMax Installable for 2 Operators is $399.

Visitor 8:52:10 AM C'est parfait. Merci beaucoup pour vos réponses.

It's perfect. Thank you very much for your answers.

New! Chat Notes and Chat Keywords Tagging - This great new feature has actually three different functions: First, it allows Operators to write "wrap-up" notes/comments regarding their chats. Second, these “chat” notes can be keyword “tagged” for easy search later on via the Operator console (found under Historical Chat History). Third, Operators can write notes and tags regarding visitors even if they haven't chatted.

New! .NET 3.5 SP1 Framework- SightMax 7.1 now uses .NET 3.5 SP1 for both Server side and Operator.

--------------------------------------------------------
Previous Revision History in SightMax 7:

SightMax Version 7 - Always innovative and designed with your success in mind, this latest release combines behind the scenes innovative technologies which set the path to develop brand new features, functionalities and enhancements. Speaking to the technie in you... version 7 uses the latest technologies available such as .NET 3.5 SP1 Framework, Ajax, the highly optimized jQuery JavaScript Framework and JSON. To the marketing professional...this latest version has fantastic new chat design functionality and customization capabilities, a brand new reporting "OverSight" reporting dashboard, auto detection language translation, iPhone support with our iMaximo mobile application and more!

New! Redesigned and Improved Visitor Chat Window - Our new Visitor Chat Window has been redesigned to be even faster, easier to modify, and more customizable than ever! It was also developed in a way that makes it easier for third party integration, automation, data mining and data manipulation. We also thought of the little things... for instance, your website visitors are now able to highlight text inside the chat window and simply copy individual chat segments or words without selecting the entire chat transcript. It is also compatible and optimized for all popular browsers (including the newer versions).

New! SightMax SmartChat Button - Introducing our new "SmartChat" button! You may now setup your live chat graphic to allow your website visitors to type their question before starting the actual chat. This same SmartChat button graphic will dynamically change when the Operator is Online, Offline, Back in 5, or Out to lunch.

New! SightMax Embedded Chat Window - You can use our new chat window and embed it inline within your webpage. Your visitors will simply complete your survey and press the submit button. When answered by your operator the chat will continue within the same webpage. Setting up an embedded chat window allows you to bypass having a pop-up box and the entire chat will take place within the embedded chat window.

New! SightMax iPhone App (iMaximo) Server Framework - SightMax 7 has our iMaximo Framework built-in which allows your operators to use the iMaximo iPhone App with the SightMax Server without the need of any special plug-ins on the server side. With the iMaximo iPhone App, the Operator will be able to monitor the website traffic in real time, take chats directly on the iPhone, transfer chats to other Operators, co browse and much more. NOTE: The iMaximo iPhone App can be purchased directly from the AppStore (either on the PC/Mac, or the iPhone).

New! Auto Detect Language Translation engine - We have implemented a new translation engine that will automatically detect 52 languages (Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Cherokee, Chinese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yiddish). When the Visitor begins typing in their native language, the language is automatically detected and the Visitor's chat segments are translated in real time into the Operator's default language.

Example: As the Operator types in English the chat segments are automatically translated on-the-fly to the website visitors' language.

Note: If English is not the Operators primary language, the Operator can easily change the default language within their Operator Console. The translation feature will function in the same manner, allowing for fluid live chat discussion between Operators and Visitors from all parts of the world. We think that is pretty cool :-)

New! QuickView HyperChat Engine - This new feature is a great tool for call centers and high volume websites. This is how it works...During a live chat session and based on the first few characters typed by the Operator, a listing of common responses used in previous chats will pop up and the Operator will select the appropriate response. This will speed up the Operator's response time and increase the Operator's ability to handle more concurrent chats. Consider this a real-time dynamic Canned Response Engine.

New! Operator Console Language Translation "Confidence Level" - Our new auto detect language translation has a customizable predefined "Confidence Level". This option when selected acts as a gauge of how confident Google™ is of the visitor's language during detection. This setting can be easily be adjusted in the Operator Console settings.

New! Manual Translation Language Override - This feature allows the Operator to disable the automatic translation. This is beneficial if the Operator determines the language detection is not accurate (as provided by Google™) during the chat and can manually select the correct language.

New! Improved Operator Console - The Operator Console version 7 has been improved to be much faster, better layout and more columns. We've also added more informational columns in the main Visitor panel.

New! User Selectable Visitor Grid Columns - Now you can setup your Operator Console to display visitor information that YOU wish to see.  Just select which columns of information you wish to view as new visitors hit your website. For instance, if you want to see Referring Visitor Details and Organization names for each visitor, simply add those columns to your grid by simply dragging and dropping... it's that easy!

New High Performance Tray Notifications - Our new tray notifications were developed to be lighter, faster and consume less system resources. You can even pin notifications to your desktop. Plus, we've added a few new ones! 

New! OverSight Interactive Reporting Engine - One of our favorite new features! Version 7 development allowed us to extend our reporting capabilities and create new state of the art reporting engine. Our new "OverSight" Reporting Engine allows operators to look at historical report data interactively. You can drag and drop column headings to sort data they way YOU want to see it. Need a visitor report sorted by Organization? Well...simply drag the column to the column header and you've got it. How about visitors by Organization, by State and by City... you've got the idea, that's "OverSight"! OverSight shows you pie charts, line graphs and bar charts as well as tabular data information.

New! Operator Accountability Auditing - New in SightMax 7 is the ability to audit operator actions in real-time! By simply selecting the reports option within the Operator Console, supervisors can generate an Operator Accountability Audit Report which shows you a pie chart with percentages of each operator and their time online, offline and any other status changes. This provides you with an at-a-glance view of all your Operators and their productivity.

New! Improved Canned Response Manager - In order to enable Operators to be more productive, we have made it easier for Operators to add, edit and remove their Operator Canned responses, or the Account wide canned responses. By just double clicking on the selected canned response Operators are able to respond twice as fast to visitors!

New! Microsoft Virtual Earth integration with the Bing API - This new integration with the Bing API enables the Operator to see the exact map location of the Visitor in their Operator Console and to have a true bird's eye view of your website visitors' physical location. In SightMax 7 we load only the map, without any other browser type objects so loading time is very fast! Too cool!

New! Improved Administrator Console - The Admin Console is multi-threaded to increase the connectivity to your SightMax Server. Also, in SightMax 7, you can limit the number of days allowed for the Report Generation per Site.

--------------------------------------------------------
Previous Revision History in SightMax v6:

Business Rules and Triggers – This great new feature enables you to setup and automate business rules according to your customers’ behavior. With over 20 different triggers and nine different action settings you can easily define multiple rules that "fire" on visitors and as they progress through your website. See the “summary” below for details. You will also find powerful scripting elements have been provided that can be placed into automated emails. See Operator Console Help Icon (?) within the Rules Area for complete details. Establish business rules and triggers for returning visitors to your website based upon behavior.

ChatAppExchange™ Open Development Architecture – Calling all Developers! The programmers at SmartMax have now opened SightMax Live Chat up to developers. ChatAppExchange™ allows you to write add-ons via an industry standard SOAP interface. Create and deploy mobile operator clients, web-based front ends to automatically create operators or accounts, scripts that can log operators in and out of SightMax…you have a vision? Now you can write it! The SightMax operator console is actually using the same SOAP Open Development Architecture that is available now to you. Develop away! Visit www.ChatAppExchange.com for more details.

New, Lighter Communication Protocol (SOAP rendered by Microsoft WCF) SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol is a lightweight and simple XML-based protocol.

LINQ Enabled – .NET is Language-Integrated Query aka LINQ, which is an integral part of Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. It is object-to-database mapping technology through which you can query any type of collections, such as, Object or XML databases. LINQ also allows a single general purpose declarative query facility to be applied to all in-memory information, not just information from external sources.

.NET 3.5 - SightMax 6 now uses .NET 3.5 Framework for both the Server side and Operator side.

Clickable Page Details Links - All page links are now "clickable" under the Page Details tab. The extension of this feature enables you to click on all the page links that your visitor shows to have visited while on your website and is helpful to reach the specific pages of interest that the visitor viewed.

Previous Revision History SightMax v5-v3:
EyeQ - EyeQ is our new chat monitoring and thresholding technology designed for "at-a-glance' decision making. At a quick glance of either the Supervisor Chat Panel or the My Chats Panel, the operator or supervisor can instantly gauge the performance and responses of the chat system. We've devised a color scheme system which displays certain colors for newly arriving chats, active chats, chat transfers and ended chats. There are three levels of color monitoring for new chats and active chats. If you glance at the console and see a sea of red, you would instantly know that your chats haven't been answered in 20 seconds. Additionally, if the operator doesn't respond back to a visitor with the allotted threshold times, you will be flagged with different colors as well.

Supervisory Chat Panel - Based on feedback from a few of our select enterprise level call centers, we've redesigned the Chats Panel to handle and manage a much higher volume of chats in 5.1. New additions include (1) the ability to "drill" down from the Master Account which allows viewing all chats under the account (2) Site Level which shows all chats for given site, (3) Queue Level, shows all chats within a given queue, and finally, (4) Operator Level, whereby you click on the operator name and only see the chats for the given operator. Each chat displayed is routed and displayed with our new eyeQ technology.

Status Bar - We've added a new status bar to the bottom left of the operator console. The status bar displays the following:

Total Chat Requests: All unanswered, pending chats.
Total Active Chats: Total number of chats currently within the system.
My Chats: Total number of chats that you are currently in.
Total Visitors: Total number of visitors currently on sites within the account.
Filtered Visitors: If you set the operator console to view a selected site, filtered visitors will only show the number of visitors for the selected site.

Operator Status and Quick Access Filtering - We've added several new buttons to the Ribbon Bar to enable operators' greater control via filtering within the Operator Console. Filters include: Changing the Operator Status, Offline Operators and Visitor Panel to only list your current chats or all chats within the system.

New Visitor Chat Window - We've redesigned the visitor chat window to allow for much easier customization. Each element, chat.aspx, prechatsurvey.aspx and waitingforoperator.aspx has an accompanying CSS file.

Copy to Clipboard - Added "Copy to Clipboard" feature to the Visitor Chat Window.

AJAX Powered Visitor Chat Window - Our new AJAX powered chat window eliminates some behind the scenes updating and allowed us to enable new features such as SmartQueue and the Position in Line indicator. By utilizing AJAX technology, we will be able to add additional new features much more easily.

SmartQueue (Ability for the visitor to pick from a list of queues, with status of each queue) - Visitors can now select from a list of queues at the click of a single chat button. With SmartQueue, visitors can choose the desired queue either from a drop down list or radio buttons. Each queue shows the status (offline/online), plus each dynamically generated prechat survey for the given queue... all from a single chat window.

Additional SmartQueue Features:

Added query string to allow for multiple SmartQueue selection - As part of the SmartQueue feature, the administrator can selectively choose which queues show up in the selection dropdown/radio buttons from which the visitor can select.

Added the ability to customize the PreChat, PostChat, and Offline Banners in the CustomVis.xml

Position in Queue Notifications while waiting on chats - One of the advantages of our new AJAX Powered Chat Window is the ability to dynamically display the position that the visitor is "in queue". When a visitor invokes the chat, the waiting screen now shows their waiting position in line for that queue, i.e., "You are number 3 in queue".

iMaximo (optional) - An industry first! iMaximo is a full SightMax Mobile Operator Console for the Apple iPhone. Written for WEB 2.0, features include complete Visitor Monitoring with Geo-Location, Co-Browse and Chat. Also included in iMaximo are our industry first Coaching and Joining of live chats, plus chat transfers and historical chat lookups; iMaximo even includes our SmartChat language translation. Additionally, our Web 2.0 implementation allows iMaximo to run on Apple MAC's and Windows PC's using browsers with full DOM2 compatibility including Apple Safari 3.0+, Firefox and Opera 9.0+ browsers (see www.sightmax.com for more details)

Operator Generated Dynamic Text Invites - Operators can now send custom text invites to visitors on the site. From the operator console, simply right click on a visitor and select "Text Invite", whatever is typed into the dialog box by the operator is sent to the visitor and overlayed onto the customizable invite image. Now you can pop up messages such as "Hi Bob, welcome back. If you place your order today, we can give you 10% off, just click here".

Added label to identify which operator sent a text invite - When sending text invites, all operators see who was invited and which operator sent the invitation.

Added Operator ability to push session when not in chat - This feature adds the ability to push the visitor to pages within the site, even when they are not "engaged" in a live chat.

Added PostChat Surveys - Now you can create post chat surveys to gauge operator performance or any other type of visitor polling. Post chat surveys are configured just like our Pre-Chat surveys, with our WYSIWYG editor. Simply define your questions from list of field types and hit save! Post chat surveys are emailed to the queue administrator, as well as showing up in historical chat transcripts for retrieval at any time.

Added "Email Transcript" Option to PostChat Surveys - If the visitor doesn't select "Email Transcript" in the Pre-Chat Survey, they now have another option to have one emailed at the end of the chat via the PostChat Survey.

Added time stamps to Operator Console - We have added time stamps to the operator console as well as the database for historical retrieval and auditing. Time stamps are shown down to the second time intervals.

Host Name Field displays Friendly Chat Name - If a visitor has previously chatted and they return to the site, the operator will see their chat name rather than a cryptic host name, for instance, instead of showing amh-ded-rcautomation.dsl.airstreamcomm.net, the returning visitor would be displayed as "Bob Smith".

Corrected storage of Geolocation in the database - Location data was incorrectly stored in the database for the visitor.

Chats with double byte characters are now stored properly in the database - Previously, double byte chat transcripts were not stored correctly into the database.

Operator Chat Area Resizable - Operators can now resize the area in which they type by grabbing the resizable splitter bar.

Completely New Operator Console - The most advanced Live Chat Operator Console ever created. Designed with the latest tools, our new operator interface allows you to dock and undock each element, move each panel around or even turn them off completely. The SightMax Operator Console 4.0 was built around the new Microsoft Office 2007 Ribbon Bar, which provides the future in navigation. (4.0)

New Quick Access Canned Response Panel - We've redesigned the canned response section in 4.0. You can now have 26 keyboard shortcuts tied to your canned responses. They are defined as ctrl+shift+A through Z. We've also added a quick access panel which allows you to sort your canned responses, as well as, see all of them in our grid style presentation. We've also added quick access word completion, simply type the first few letters of the phrase you are looking for, if found, the system will allow for automatic completion of the phrase. (4.0)

New Visitor Grid Panel - We've completely redesigned the visitor panel. You can now do sorting/grouping and filtering to your own liking. Simply drag a column (or columns) header and drop on the sorting bar and SightMax will instantly sort the visitors based on your criteria. (4.0)

My Chats Node - The My Chats node is located off the "All Sites" tab. If you are an operator on a busy site, clicking the My Chats node will filter out all unwanted traffic and chats, allowing you to focus only on your current chat sessions. (4.0)

Optionally Force Chat or Invite Chat on a per Queue/Department Basis - We have enhanced the Auto-Invite option by allowing administrators to choose whether an invite or auto-invite is sent as an image or as a forced chat. Previously, a forced chat would pop open a chat window to the visitor whether they wanted to chat or not. You now have the option for this feature. (4.0)

Color Themes - Choose your desired color scheme from seven themes/skins. (4.0)

Preserving your Console Environment - You can now completely save all your operator settings, such as window position, colors, grid alignment and spacing. (4.0)

Enhanced "White Box" Option - The White Box option now includes co-branding in the operator console with your own logo. If you purchased our White Box option, your operators will now see your logo on the operator login screen, the account name in the title bar and your logo in the "About" box. If you don't own the white box option, contact our sales team and it can be added to your system. (4.0)

Conversion to .NET 2.0 - SightMax 3.0 was built using the latest .NET 2.0 technology, along with all plug-in assemblies to .NET 2.0 as well! (3.0)

Improved! Unanswered Chat Timeout -

Real-time Return Visitor History - At a glance Operators can now see how many times a visitor has come to your website. (3.0)

Custom Visitor Invite Images and Placement - Customize your Visitor Invite Image to be any size you wish. Like a small window? Medium or large...it's your choice! You can also customize where you would like the display position of your invite to show up on your pages. (3.0)

Auto Visitor Invite

Auto Email Transcript to Queue after Chat Session - Automatically email all chat transcripts to a specific Queue Administrator. This allows for parsing into CRM solutions, ticketing systems etc. (3.0)

Enhanced! The SightMax Operator GUI now allows your operators to reorganize/customize all of the visitor information columns to best suit their needs by drag and drop. Each Operators customized GUI is saved to Login memory. (3.0)

Microsoft Virtual Earth Tab - This great little feature courtesy of Microsoft, allows you to have a true bird's eye view of your website visitors physical location. Just too cool and we had to add it! (3.0)

Reporting Generation - With new and improved behind the scenes adjustments, generating of reports is even faster and utilizes even less overhead. (3.0)

a) Using the SightMax IIS Editor
In order for SightMax to work, you MUST create two virtual directories (SightMaxAgentInterface and SightMaxWebServices) under each website that will use SightMax. We have created a program to automate this step. After the installation is complete, a shortcut is placed on your desktop called SightMax IIS Editor as well as in the SightMax Program Group. By default, the file is located in C:\Program Files\SmartMax Software, Inc.\SightMax\AdminConsole\createsightmaxvd.exe.

1. Run the SightMax IIS Editor.

2. Select the website where you want the two virtual directories to be created.

3. By default, the virtual directories will be created in IIS for the following directories:

SightMaxAgentInterface: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SightMax\AgentInterface
SightMaxWebServices: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SightMax\Webservices

If your files are located in a different directory, you can click the 'Browse' button to select the new path.

4. Click the 'Add' button to create the virtual directories.

Note: You will need to repeat steps 1-4 above for every website that needs to have the virtual directories added.

b) Upgrading from SightMax v1.x, v2.x or v3.x to v4.x.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of SightMax, you will need to follow the exact steps in the above section for every website where you have SightMax currently installed.
a) Overview
The SightMax System Administrator (SystemAdmin.exe) is the tool used to carry out all of the following administrative tasks in SightMax:

  • Registration
  • Manage System Administrators
  • Manage Accounts, Sites, Queues and Operators.
  • Manage Operator Memberships
  • Manage Account Wide Canned Responses
  • Generate Site Tags (Monitor Tag/Chat Icon Tag)
a) Logging into the SightMax Administrator for the first time

Administrator Login Information
Administrator Login: sysadmin
Password: newsysadmin
Web Service URL: Simply enter the URL of the website that you installed SightMax under.
(ex. www.MySightMaxServer.com)

Click the 'Login' button to continue.

Remote Administrator Login
System Administrators can now login and administer SightMax from any machine that has the Remote SightMax Administrator installed. By default, it is located in C:\Program Files\SmartMax Software, Inc.\SightMax\AdminConsole\sightmaxadministrator.exe

Note: sightmaxadministrator.exe simply needs to be copied and run on any machine from which you want to remotely login.

b) Creating and Editing System Administrators
A System Administrator has full administrative access to all of SightMax. It is strongly recommended that when you first login to SightMax, you create a new system administrator account. After you have created the new system administrator, you need to close SightMax, log back in as your newly created system administrator and then delete the original one. SightMax will not allow you to delete the last system administrator or an administrator that you are currently logged in with as this would prevent any access for administrative duties.

h) Site Tags

IMPORTANT: If the SightMax Server is NOT installed on your webserver, then the tags MUST have Absolute paths when you paste them into your webpages.

Examples:

Relative Path:
/SightMaxAgentInterface/Monitor.smjs?siteID=1000&queueID=38

Absolute Path:
http://chat.sightmax.com/SightMaxAgentInterface/Monitor.smjs?siteID=1000&queueID=38

Monitor Tag
In order for operators to monitor the activity of their website, a monitor tag (JavaScript code) is generated in the SightMax Administrator and then manually added to all of the pages of their website.

a. Right click on the queue you would like to generate the monitor tag for.

b. A new dialog will open and display the monitor tag. Simply copy and paste the tag into each page of your website directly above the </BODY> tag. The following code is an example of what your monitor tag will look like:

<!-- Monitor tag for site SightMax.com (ID: 1000) on Queue Sales (ID: 38) -->
<script language=javascript src="http://chat.sightmax.com/SightMaxAgentInterface/Monitor.smjs?siteID=1000&queueID=38"></script>

Chat Tag (Chat Buttons)
The chat icon tag is the code that will actually display chat buttons on your webpages. The chat buttons will change indicating the current status of a queue (such as whether or not an operator is available to chat). The chat icon tag is generated in the SightMax Administrator and then manually added to any page where you want the chat button to be displayed.

a. Right click on the queue for which you would like to generate the chat icon tag.

b. A new dialog will open and display the chat icon tag. Simply copy and paste the tag into each page of your website where you want the chat button to appear.

i)SightMax Operator Deployment
As the administrator of SightMax, you will be responsible for making the Operator Client Installation available for download on your website, ftp server or any other means such as a network file share. The operators should then refer to the 'SightMax Operator GUI' documentation, included in the operator installation, for configuration and usage information.

For your convenience, by default, the SightMax Operator Client installation is placed on the desktop where you installed your SightMax server. The file name is SightMaxOperator.exe

a) Registering SightMax
This section is ONLY for registered owners of SightMax that are activating the full version. Demo users have 15 days to evaluate SightMax before it expires. Demo users need to skip to the next section to continue.

The license status, expiration date, number of operators licensed and number of sites licensed is displayed at the top of the SightMax Administrator GUI.

Requesting a License Key File
After purchasing SightMax, you will be sent an Order ID: number by email in order to request a license key file from the SightMax Administrator.

1. To request a license key file, click 'Registration' and select 'Request License Key File'.

2. Enter your Order ID: in the textbox and click the 'Request License' button to continue. An emailed request will be sent to our sales department.

Installing a License Key File
3. Once you have received your SightMax.lic file, you will need to save it to your hard drive. It can be saved anywhere, but we recommend creating a 'SightMax License' folder (or any other folder with the name you choose) for this file. Please keep a backup of this file as it is your license key.

4. Click 'Registration' and select 'Install License Key File'.

5. Explore to the directory where your SightMax.lic file resides and then click the 'Install' button to continue.

6. A dialog will pop up and display the current license you are running as well as the license that you are about to register. If the license information is correct, click the 'Ok' button to continue. Otherwise, contact our sales department for assistance.

7. Click the 'Ok' button to finish activating your license.

a) Customizing "Invite Visitor to Chat' Graphic

Operators can proactively invite visitors to chat. When an operator invites a visitor an invite graphic will appear on the visitor's screen. You can use your own custom invite graphic that you have created or you can use the default image included with SightMax.

Customization of the Invite Chat Graphic - If you opt to customize your invite chat graphic it may be any size you wish and is located by default in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\SightMax\AgentInterface\Images\invitation.png.


Customization of the Text Invite Chat Graphic - If you opt to customize your text invite chat graphic it may be any size you wish and is located by default in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\SightMax\AgentInterface\Images\invitationText.png

b) Text Localization of Visitor Chat Window

You can localize the visitor experience by adjusting to the desired language. Simply edit the strings in the files as shown below. The file is located on the server in the Agentinterface directory. The files are in XML format.
 

CustomLangV2.xml (AgentInterface Directory)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<CustomLang>
<WelcomeMessage>Welcome to {0}, {1} will be right with you.</WelcomeMessage>
<RequestTransfer>{0} is requesting to transfer chat {1}.</RequestTransfer>
<AcceptTransfer>{0} transferred the chat to {1}.</AcceptTransfer>
<RejectTransfer>{0} is requesting to transfer {1} to {2}.</RejectTransfer>
<WithdrewTransfer>{0} withdrew the transfer request for {1}.</WithdrewTransfer>
<Visitor>Visitor</Visitor>
<EndedChat>{0} has ended the chat.</EndedChat>
<JoinChat>{0} has joined the chat.</JoinChat>
<LeftChat>{0} has left the chat.</LeftChat>
<JoinCoach>{0} has joined the chat as a coach</JoinCoach>
<NoopEndedChat>The chat has ended.</NoopEndedChat>
<PushUrl>Sending URL Push to: </PushUrl>
<VisitorTyping>Visitor typing</VisitorTyping>
<OperatorTyping>Operator typing</OperatorTyping>
<TranslationEnabled>Chat is now being translated from {0}, to {1}</TranslationEnabled>
<TranslationDisabled>Translation is now disabled.</TranslationDisabled>
</CustomLang>

c) Customizing "Visitor Chat Window" Graphic

1. To do this you must first copy the 'AgentInterface' folder that is, by default, located in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SightMax folder to another location on your hard drive (You can copy it to any directory you wish).

2. Once you have copied the folder to its new location, you will need to go into IIS under the website where SightMax is located and right click on the 'SightMaxAgentInterface' virtual folder.

3. Select 'Properties'.

4. You will be on the 'Virtual Directory' tab. You will need to click the 'Browse' button next to 'Local Path:' and browse to the directory where you copied the 'AgentInterface' folder. The website will now be using the chat window, chat invite and other images in the new 'AgentInterface' folder.

5. IMPORTANT! The 'WebServices' folder, by default, located in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SightMax does NOT need to be copied, and actually only ONE needs to exist on the server. You can just point all of the 'SightMaxWebServices' virtual directories from the other websites using SightMax to the same physical location where the folder exists.

LIST OF ALL PAGES, FILES AND FOLDERS THAT CAN BE MODIFIED

1. Browse to the AgentInterface folder you want to modify.

2. There are four .aspx files that you CAN edit:

Chat.aspx:
This is the visitor chat window that your users will see and use when chatting with an operator.

ErrorPage.apx:
This is the error page that will be displayed if an error occurs in the SightMax Application.

PreChatSurvey.aspx:
This is the prechat survey page.

WaitingForOperator.aspx:
This is the page that is shown between the time an operator initiates a chat and when the operator accepts a chat.

3. There are two files that you CANNOT edit:

Global.asax and Web.config:
These two files are application system files and should NOT be edited. If they are edited, the SightMax application will be broken.

4. The IMAGES folder is where all of the images for the chat windows are stored.
Note: The invite graphic (FullInvite2Chat.gif) is also stored in this directory.
------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT! There are certain HTML elements that have specific ID's that must NOT be modified or deleted when customizing one of the chat windows. This code MUST be present for the SightMax Application to function properly. For example, WaitingForOperator.aspx has a table with the following code:

id="table3" => You CANNOT edit or delete this part of the code.

d) Account Wide Canned Responses
Account Administrators can create account wide canned responses. These canned responses will be available for all operators to view and use, but only account administrators can add and edit canned responses created at the account level.

NOTE: Operators can add and edit their own personal canned responses as well as using account wide responses.

Adding an Account Wide Canned Response:
a. Right click on the 'Canned Responses' heading under an account you have setup then click 'Add Response'.

b. Next, enter your 'Canned Response Name' and 'Canned Response Text' and then click the 'Add' button to continue.

Editing an Account Wide Canned Response:
a. Click on the Canned Responses heading in the System Items pane to show a list of all the canned responses in the right pane. Simply right click on each canned response and select rename response, modify response or delete response.

e) Auto Visitor Invite

Auto Visitor Invite allows you to enter a specified time value into the 'Auto-Invite Time (Seconds)' for your Visitor Chat Invite Window to automatically pop up on any page of your site.

Based on the settings of the "Attempt Forced Chat On Auto-Invite", if checked, SightMax will first attempt a forced chat whereby the operator is automatically engaged in chat with the visitor. If the forced chat failed (blocked by a popup blocker), SightMax will revert to the standard visitor invite image (which will never get blocked). If unchecked, the auto-invite option will only send the standard visitor invite image.


f) Chat Invitation Images - Change Size and location

You can modify the image (image, size and position) that displays for the Operator Text Invite feature when an operator sends a custom text invite to a visitor. On the server edit the "Monitor.js" file which is located in the SightMaxAgentInterface Directory (by default this directory is typically c:\inetpub\wwwroot\sightmax\sightmaxagentinterface\Scripts). From within the Monitor.js you can define your invite image, size, location, etc.

Below is a snippet of the code showing the text invite feature (image names are bolded).

SightMaxMonitor.prototype.CreateTextInviteDiv = function(){

var inviteDiv = jQuery("<div/>").css({'position':'absolute',
'z-index':'9999',
'top':'130px',
'left':'150px',
'height':'211px',
'width':'250px',
'background-image':'url(\'' + this.Path + '/Images/invitationText.png\')',
'background-repeat':'no-repeat'});

var acceptDiv = jQuery("<div/>").css({'width':'112px',
'position':'absolute',
'left':'122px',
'top':'171px',
'height':'32px'})
.click(function(){
var instance = document.sightMaxMonitor;
instance.ReportChatInvitation(true);
});

var declineDiv= jQuery("<div/>").css({'width':'22px',
'position':'absolute',
'left':'225px',
'top':'7px',
'height':'29px'})
.click(function(){
var instance = document.sightMaxMonitor;
instance.ReportChatInvitation(false);
});

g) Implementing SmartQueue

To display multiple Queues and their availability, you must add or subtract a few different query strings in the Chat Tag. This feature also makes available the ability to display the Queues in a radio button group or a drop down list. For this example we will assume that an Account named MyAccount has been added to the SightMax server with the website MySite and Queues available to the site are Sales, Support, Reviews. We will assume that Sales has an ID of 2, Support an ID of 3, Reviews an ID of 4, and Internal Sales an ID of 5. Below is an example of the Chat Tag we will be using to demonstrate this ability.

Figure 1
<!-- Chat tag for Account MyAccount(ID: 1), Site MySite (ID: 1), Queue Sales (ID: 2) -->
<table border='0'><tr><td>
<a href="javascript: var e = window.open('/SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2',
'chatWindow','width=490,height=404,resizable=0,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,status=no');"
onmouseout="top.status=''; return true;"
onmousedown="top.status='Chat with a company representative';return true;"
onmouseover="top.status='Chat with a company representative';return true;">
<img border=0 src="/SightMaxAgentInterface/chat.smgif?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2"
alt="Buy Live Chat"></a><font color='#000000'><span style='font-size: 9px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Live Chat by <font color='#1071D1'>SightMax</font></span></font></a>
</td><!-- /SightMax Live Chat and Live Help icon v1.0 --></tr>
</table>
<!-- end of chat tag -->

Adding Queues
The only part of the Chat Tag we are concerned with is the bolded portion (see above). The first query string we must add is the "AllQueues" variable:

Figure 2
SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes

The value of "AllQueues" does not matter, as long as it is not null it will work (AllQueues=no produces the same results). "AllQueues" indicates to SightMax that all the queues should be displayed to the visitor. Now, suppose I want to display both the Support and Sales queues. In order to do that I will add two query string variables to the URL:

Figure 3
SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?
accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes&IncludedQ1=3&IncludedQ4

To include a Queue, the query string variable must be in a "IncludeQ + uniqueID" format such as: IncludedQ1, IncludedQ2, or IncludedQ23
The uniqueID must not exceed the total number of Queues available to the site minus one. So for our example, MySite has 4 Queues, so the available uniqueIDs are 0, 1, 2, and 3. A query string named IncludedQ4 would not be parsed. The value of the query string variable is the database ID of the Queue you wish to add. You can find the Queue's database ID by logging in to the SightMax Admin Console and clicking on the Queue you wish to add. On the right hand side of the SightMax Admin Console you will see a summary of the Queue which includes this information.

Removing Queues
To remove a Queue the rules are pretty much the same as including one, the only change is the name for the query string variable. Instead of IncludedQ as used in Figure 3 above, we will use ExcludedQ. For example Figure 4 will display the exact same output as Figure 3:

Figure 4
SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?
accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes&ExcludedQ0=5

Below are some examples and the display results:

Display all the queues:
SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx? accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes

SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes
&IncludedQ0=3&IncludedQ1=4&IncludedQ2=5

Display Support Queue Only
SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes
&IncludedQ0=3

SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes
&ExcludedQ0=4&ExcludedQ1=5

SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes
&ExcludedQ0=4&ExcludedQ1=5&IncludedQ0=3

Display Review and Support Queues Only
SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes
&IncludedQ0=3&IncludedQ1=4

SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes
&IncludedQ0=3&IncludedQ1=4&ExcludedQ0=5

SightMaxAgentInterface/PreChatSurvey.aspx?accountID=1&siteID=1&queueID=2&AllQueues=yes
&ExcludedQ0=5

In order to display the Queues as a radio button list change the m_QueueRBL's visible property to "true".
1. Open PreChatSurvey.aspx in notepad
2. Search for ID="m_QueueRBL" and change the Visible="false" to read Visible="true"
3. Save PreChatSurvey.aspx and close the file.

Notes:
The Queue specified in the default Chat Tag (Figure 1) will always be displayed, even if it is specified in an ExcludedQ query string variable.
The PreChatSurvey will dynamically change to reflect the selected Queue
IncludedQ tags have precedence over ExcludedQ tags.

This filter stops all reoccurring and unwanted website traffic from being logged into the database or being displayed in SightMax. For example, a supervisor that logs into SightMax to run reports, or a web designer logging into your website make changes. This is not valid traffic and will not be logged, thus providing you with accurate data.
