You can create personal response items that contain information you often need when handling interactions. These personal responses appear in the My Responses folder in the My Responses Window. You can arrange personal responses in subfolders (categories). For more information, see Organize Personal Responses.
Note: Personal responses are private and are not available to other Interaction Client users.
You can create two kinds of personal responses:
Use messages to save standard text responses that you often use when interacting with customers. For example, you can save a message that contains your typical office hours, phone number, and email address. You can then use this response in a Chat or Email message and never have to type this information again.
Note: A stored message can contain a working URL hyperlink or an email message address.
To create a response message:
From the Interaction Client View menu, select Response Management Editor.
Result: The My Responses window appears.
Click the My Responses folder or any of the folders under My Responses.
Click the Create new item toolbar button.
Result: The My Responses Editor appears.
In the composition area, do one of the following:
Type the text of the message.
Import an existing HTML file by clicking the Select HTML To Insert toolbar button. In the HTML Import dialog box, locate an HTML file and click Open.
Tip: By default, the Open dialog box lists all the files in a directory. You can import only files with an HTM or HTML extension.
Optionally, do any of the following in the My Responses Editor:
Format the text: Use any of the text formatting tools.
Add a link: You can create a clickable link to a URL or an email message address: Select some text in your message and click the Link tool. In the Link dialog box, from the Link Type drop down list, select URL or E-mail. Supply the necessary address and other information, as prompted.
Tip: If a URL is the only text in the message, it converts automatically to a hyperlink. The icon for this stored response becomes the logo for the browser you are currently using.
Add an image: Select a place in your message and click the Image tool. Supply a URL ending in the image file name. This URL must be accessible to your browser. Click OK.
Example: https://xyzcorp.com/Support/help/setup.gif
Add a Response Macro: Response macros automatically insert a constant like today’s date, an interaction attribute such as the customer’s name, or another response item into your response at the time you use it. See Create Response Macros for more details.
In the Name text box, type a name for this stored message.
Note: Response Management provides a full-text search tool that uses the information in Name, Shortcut, and Labels along with the response item’s content to find a response. For more information, see Search for a Response.
Tip: Name identifies the response item, but does not have to be unique. If you do not provide a name, it defaults to New Item.
In the Shortcut text box, type a short name, abbreviation, or code.
Tip: To insert a response item where needed, type the shortcut and then press Ctrl+Space. The shortcut does not have to be unique. For example, you could use the shortcut "Hi" for all the variations of your standard greeting.
Note: Do not use any of these restricted characters in your shortcut: ~ ! ? * ^ \ . These special characters prevent the shortcut from working.
In the Labels text box, type a space-separated list of words that identify or classify this response item.
Result: The new response item appears in the selected folder in the My Responses Window.

Result: The directory path and file name appear in the text box next to the Verify button.
Click Verify.
Result: This action verifies that web server can locate and access the file. One of two things happens:
If verification is successful, a green check mark appears next to the Verify button.
