Requirements to configure Engagement Panel Display Options for Chat in the Browser User Interface
Answer ID 12711   |   Last Review Date 01/09/2025

How can I configure the display options for chat in the BUI?

Environment:

Chat, Browser UI, Engagement Panel
Oracle B2C Service

Resolution:

Agents handling chats within the Browser UI can adjust the font & colors within the agent chat panel, so it’s easier for agents to read the content of a chat session. The Chat Display Options menu offers several ways for an agent to control the font style & color, as well as background colors and chat bubble colors. These capabilities were initially released in 23D, however we continue to make improvements – the latest is a configuration option that provides agents the ability to choose a background color for the chat header when the session is in wrap-up mode.
 
The “Chat Display Options” menu is automatically enabled for all chat agents, when the following is true:
 
1.    Engagement Panel version 17+ must be deployed for the site:
2.    This feature does not require a CX update
3.    This feature does not require any additional configuration or custom config verbs 
 
To access the “Chat Display Options” menu:
  • Agents with chat enabled on their profile, can
    • Login to the Browser User Interface
    • Go to the Preferences menu
  • Within the menu "Chat Display Options"
    • Agents can adjust the Font Style to their personal preference. Options for this configuration include, but are not limited to: Arial, Comic Sans & Courier
    • Agents can adjust the Font Color & Background Color for the Chat Header, during the live session and when the chat is in wrap-up mode
    • Agents can adjust the Background Color for the Chat Transcript control
    • Agents can adjust the Font Color & Bubble Color for Customer Posts
    • Agents can adjust the Font Color & Bubble Color for Agent Posts
    • Agents can adjust the Font Color for the System Messages that appear within the Chat Transcript control
If the agent makes a selection, then the "Chat Display Preview" updates to show the selection. 
 
After display options are selected, an agent can
  • “Save” the selections
  • Click the "Save & Close" button, which saves the selections and closes the "Chat Display Options" menu
  • Click the "Refresh" button, which reverts all selections to the previously saved values
  • Click the "Reset" button, which changes the selections for all of the chat display options to their default values (the original settings for the Engagement Panel)
Please note, 
  • Any Chat Display Options saved are seen by the agent upon their next login to the Browser User Interface
  • The selections made within the Chat Display Options menu, only apply to the agent logged into the Browser User Interface and do not apply to any other agent’s experience
  • The selections made within the Chat Display Options menu, does not show to the end-user in any way
  • Any selections made within the Chat Display Options menu remain saved after the agent selects a Browser UI “Theme” or changes the theme
