Overview
Webex Contact Center management is part of VOSS Contact Center Management, which is an add-on to VOSS UC Automation and requires the VOSS Core Platform. Contact center features follow the same platform principles used throughout VOSS:
This ensures a consistent operational experience when managing Webex Calling, Webex Contact Center, and other UC services from a single platform.
Webex Contact Center Management in VOSS focuses on agent administration and related configuration, providing centralized visibility, controlled access, and automation for day-to-day operational tasks.
Access to features and data is controlled using role-based access control (RBAC) and organizational segmentation, ensuring users see and manage only what is relevant to their role.
Webex Contact Center management becomes available in VOSS after the required platform and integration configuration has been completed, including enabling the Contact Center Customer setting for the connected Webex Organization.
Contact Center Management supports both enterprise and service-provider environments, including scenarios where multiple organizations or customers are managed from a single platform.
Once enabled, Automate provides tools to manage contact center agents and related configuration using the same operational model as other UC services, including hierarchy-based segmentation, role-based access control, automation, and audit tracking.
When Webex Contact Center is enabled, VOSS provides configuration and management capabilities for the following areas:
These features allow administrators to manage agent capacity, routing behavior, and agent experience from a single interface.

For continuity and ease of use, the menu structure and terminology for Contact Center Management in VOSS closely follow the layout used in the Webex Control Hub. This allows administrators who are already familiar with Control Hub to navigate and manage contact center configuration with minimal retraining.
Administrators can view agent, license, and configuration data for Webex Contact Center alongside other UC services managed in VOSS, providing a centralized operational view across UC and contact center environments.
In addition to mirroring the Control Hub structure, VOSS introduces capabilities that support controlled administration at scale.
VOSS uses an internal business hierarchy to segment Webex Contact Center configuration data by region, site, or organizational unit. This makes it possible to:
All access and configuration changes are governed by RBAC policies and recorded in transaction logs, supporting centralized oversight, auditability, and consistent operational control.
This administration model is suited to environments with high agent churn, multiple operational teams, or shared service ownership.
Contact Center Management streamlines common agent lifecycle tasks, including:
Agent onboarding and changes can be performed individually, in bulk, or through automated workflows such as flow-through provisioning from identity sources or IT service management platforms. All configuration changes are logged, providing a complete transaction history for operational review.
Timely agent offboarding helps ensure unused contact center licenses are released and made available for reuse.
Webex Contact Center management in Automate supports:
Automation of repetitive administrative tasks, reducing manual effort and configuration errors Bulk operations for agent and configuration changes at scale Integration with external systems using APIs, including HR systems, ITSM platforms, and other business applications Dashboards and summaries that provide visibility into agent capacity, license usage, and configuration status, with access controlled by role
These capabilities help administrators respond more quickly to operational change while maintaining consistent governance.
Enabling Contact Center Management
Contact Center Management must be enabled on the VOSS Platform before use:
Overview
The settings in this category allow you to set up or manage the agent desktop experience. Settings include multimedia inactivity timeouts and system settings.
Multimedia profiles
A multimedia profile for the user, that includes enable and timeout settings for all types of media.
Outdial ANI
The Outdial Automatic Number Identification (ANI) is only synced from the Webex Control Hub and instances can then be selected in Automate. The number allows an agent to select a phone number as the caller ID for an outdial call.
Dial plans
The dial plan is only synced from the Webex Control Hub and instances can then be selected in Automate. The dial plan allows you to define validation criteria for the Dial Number (DN) that an agent uses to sign in to the Agent Desktop, as well as the DN used to dial out. DNs are validated against the syntax rules that are defined in one or more dial plans.
Address books
Address books can be managed in Automate. These contain entries with phone numbers that agents can use, and are associated with a selected Parent Type and Contact Center Site - as available from the Sites list under the User Management group - see: Webex Contact Center User Management.
Desktop profiles
Desktop profiles can be managed in Automate. These are a group of permissions and desktop behaviors that can be assigned to an agents.
The following permissions and settings are available:
Idle/Wrap-Up Codes
Idle and wrap-up codes can be managed in Automate. These contain entries that agents have available in their Desktop Profiles and use to indicate their unavailability or status of the customer contacts.
The codes are also associated with available Work Types that are synced from the Webex Control Hub or managed in Automate. See: Webex Contact Center Advanced.
