Operation of the Wallboard dialog (configuring a wallboard) What is the InfoServer? The InfoServer is a server program within the CIE system that prepares information from different sources dynamically and displays this information on different wallboards. An InfoServer can serve several wallboards of the same type or wallboards of different types simultaneously.
The InfoServer offers the possibility to use online realtime statistics and variables in formulas. These formulas are employed for the following purposes: • To change a numerical value provided by PBX or database for the wallboard. Example: For display purposes a wait time in seconds can be changed to minutes with the following formula: tMaxWait / 60 •...
Starting and closing the dialog The following paragraphs tell you how to start and close the Wallboard dialog and how to save data.

Object format for date and time The output format for date and time objects is selected from a list in the Wallboard module. All formats are presented as 12- or 24-hour time settings. You can choose from the following formats. Format Description Example...
Call center variables Variables come from different areas of the call center, e.g., agent, agent group, topic etc. There are instances in each area that have a name, e.g., an agent group can be called "Central office" or "Dept. IV". These instances differ from call center to call center.
Another group of sources of online realtime statistics or variables is the task type. The task type is added in square brackets. There are the following three task types. • [All] • [Voice] • [Email] The default task type is [Voice]. It is used if no task type in square brackets is added.
Names of variables There is a number of variables from the database for each area. The full name of the variable looks like this: • Name of instance . "Name of tag" or optionally • Name of instance . "Name of tag" [ Task type ] Below are some examples of full names of variables.

Special operators for advanced users There are two additional operators, i.e., modulo division (remainder) % and conditional expression ? :. Modulo Division (remainder) Modulo division % provides the remainder of a division. This makes it possible to calculate the remaining seconds of a duration. 377 / 60 results in value i.e.

Conditional expressions can also be nested. Note: For some examples the variable label is used without its name of instance. This is not valid for the InfoServer but is clearer in the examples of very long formulas. The following example shows the alternative view for a conditional expression in an object: tMaxWait <= 15 ? "Alarm level 1"...
