Hiding header icons for unused features

In the Interaction Portal header, hide icons for unused features so that CSRs can more quickly find the tools that they use most.

The following figure shows the Interaction portal header icons that CSRs use during customer interactions:

  • The Phone icon is hidden if you do not have a CTI phone system configured.
  • The Messaging system health icon is hidden if you do not have manager privileges.
  • The Start My Day icon is hidden if you have not enabled that feature in the Robotics settings.
