Introduction
There is a chat client that will enable you to communicate with a CRM or gold agent without you having to leave your desk. This chat client is available for you to get help with your calls. They can change purchase dates, send restore CDs at no charge, and provide you with helpful steps to resolve customer issues.
 
Logging In
The first thing you need to do is open up the chat page by entering http://magprox01/chat/ into the address bar of Internet Explorer. Then log in using your network logon as your Username. Then click the Submit button or press <ENTER>.


Once you have logged in, the chat window opens up and a gold agent or CRM will know that you require assistance. At this point you basically wait for a CRM or gold agent to accept your chat.


Getting Help
Once a gold agent or CRM has accepted your chat, the chat window notifies you who you are speaking with and allows you to type in your questions.


Closing Chat
As soon as you are done getting help, click on the Stop button. This will end your chat with the agent who is helping you. This also brings up a confirmation notification. Clicking OK will end the chat, clicking on Cancel will allow the chat to continue. This is just to make sure you did not click the Stop button on accident.


Once you stop the chat and click OK to confirm that is what you meant to do, you will see a dialog box informing you that the chat session has been closed. If you need help again, simply log back in to get help.

Chat Rules
If for some reason you cannot reach a CRM after several attempts, make sure you notify the Duty Sup, a Team Manager, or a roaming CRM.
 
Please keep in mind that the CRMs are usually assisting more than just one agent in chat at a time. Please be patient with them and allow them time to research your issue if needed and help other agents as well.
 
A case number is not a question. The CRM needs you to tell them what is currently happening with the system as they do not always have time to read notes thoroughly while they are assisting other agents.
 
If you require a CRM to take a supervisor call, please look around you for a walking CRM first. If one is not available, someone in chat will help you find one.
 
Do not type in all caps. It is considered shouting and is rude.
 
When asking for help with an error message, get the entire and exact error message from the customer so the CRM can provide you with accurate information as quickly as possible.
 
When asking a CRM to do something, such as ordering restore CDs, do not enter notes in Helix saying we will do it until we have confirmed that we will. Sometimes a different course of action is necessary.
 
If you feel the CRM's response or answer needs further explanation feel free to ask for a detailed reason, but please do so in a respectful manner.
 
When ending a chat please let the CRM know you are doing so and also let them know you no longer require assistance.
