About This Guide

Purpose

This manual describes how to use the Cisco Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) software's Script Editor tool to create and maintain routing and administrative scripts.


Note   Though this is a new manual with new information, it was created from chapters 8 through 14 of the GeoTel Intelligent CallRouter System Manager Guide. That book has now been divided into this book and the Cisco ICM Software Configuration Guide.

Audience

This document is intended for Cisco ICM system managers. A system manager should have a general understanding of call center operations and management and specific information about the call centers and carrier networks connected to the Cisco ICM.

The following table describes the information contained in each chapter of this guide.
