Figure 1-4 shows the layout of the Contact Center within the Microsoft 
CRM window.  The contact center is divided into two major parts 
consisting of four functional areas, each providing important information 
and features.  Figure 1-5 shows a closer detail of the Contact Center and its 
two major parts, the Contact Controller at the top and the Contact Data at 
the bottom. 
The Contact Controller 
The top third of the Contact Center page, made up of functional areas one 
(1), two (2) and three (3) is a contact controller.  It allows you to perform 
work session and call control actions, as well as view important 
information about your current calls.   
NOTE:  The information and control context in the contact controller 
stays synchronized with your phone.  At any time you may use either 
your telephone or the contact control to view and control calls, and to 
change your ACD work state.   
Area 1:  Agent State (work mode) 
Agent State shows your current work mode and allows you to 
change work modes.  Use this to log into and out of the ACD, set 
your work mode, and select reason codes if you are required to 
enter a not ready reason. 
Area 2:  Contact Information 
Contact Information shows information about phone calls and 
customer contacts.  Use it to switch between calls and set the 
current contact.  There will be one line for each phone call.  Each 
line corresponds to a customer contact and displays the contact 
information and call times.  The radio buttons on the left select the 
current contact.  The drop down in the upper right allows you to 
create and associate an activity with the current contact. 
Area 3:  Phone Controls 
Phone Controls are context sensitive call controls and the favorites 
list, the recent contacts list, and a destination box used to enter 
outbound phone numbers for dialing, transferring and 
conferencing calls.   
The Contact Data 
The remaining two-thirds of the Contact Center page is the customer work 
area called the Contact Data.  It shows the customer record from the last 
screen pop.  This can only open one customer at a time.
