What Is a User Portal and What Is Its Purpose?
A user portal is a web-based interface where users can access and manage their accounts, settings, and preferences. Its purpose is to provide a centralized platform for users to conveniently control various aspects of their interactions with a particular service or system.
An Overview of the Vodia PBX User Portal
You might want to think of the Vodia PBX User Portal as the deck of a spaceship - it boldly takes you into all of the features and functionalities of Vodia's best-in-class cloud phone system. Let's take a look at just some of what you can do with the Vodia PBX via the user portal.
Calling and Contacts
Make and receive calls directly from your web browser using secure, encrypted WebRTC (SSL).
Access the centralized company directory and sync with Microsoft and Google contacts (tenant-level configuration required).
Features include call forwarding, FAX, and ad-hoc conference creation.
Real-Time Presence and Status Monitoring
Stay informed about your colleagues' availability with real-time presence indicators.
Quickly see who is online, on a call, or has activated Do Not Disturb (DND).
The portal also allows users to manage parked calls using park orbits and control service flags for time-of-day routing, allowing for dynamic call handling.
Advanced Call Queue Management
For businesses with call centers or high call volumes, the portal offers robust call queue management tools.
Supervisors and admins can monitor and manage call queues, access real-time wallboards for performance insights, and (with appropriate permissions) log agents in and out of queues.
The portal also facilitates the management of call queue callbacks, providing a better customer experience.
Voicemail and Recordings
Users can conveniently check their voicemail messages directly through the portal, on-site, or with a mobile device - they can also receive notification of voicemails via email.
For added convenience, voicemail transcription can be enabled, converting audio messages to text.
Access to call recordings is also provided (subject to necessary permissions), which can be invaluable for training, quality assurance, and dispute resolution.
Users have control over a wide range of personal settings, including mailbox configuration, call forwarding rules, device preferences, and the customization of desktop phone buttons.
Importantly, the tenant or system administrator can control the visibility of user fields within the portal, allowing for a tailored user experience that aligns with specific business needs and security policies.
This ensures users only see and interact with the information and settings approved for their roles.
Progressive Web App Support
Experience a more streamlined workflow by converting the User Web Portal into a desktop application using Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).
This feature is supported on Safari, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge.
