1. Access CX Create

• Click Scripts in the left-hand navigation bar

• Click the  button
  
  The button will turn green when you hover your mouse over it. 

The New Script page loads:

• Enter a Label for the script
  This is going to be the title of the script
  
  *This script is called SingleComm Basic Script.
  Having a useful naming convention for your scripts’ labels and descriptions can help you identify them more easily.

• Optional Settings for Your Script
• Enter a Description for the script
• Choose a Tag for the script
  *This feature is not yet implemented
• Set Active flag
  Defaults to Yes.
  This ensures that the script appears in the Home>>Scripts list, and that it is set to Active.
  Changing the setting to No will mean that the Active Yes/No checkbox in the Home>>Scripts list will be deselected.

• Click on the  button

You will receive a message if your script was created successfully.
Click OK to close the pop-up.

You will be taken directly to your script and prompted to add slides in the Graph Editor

Click on the Edit Script Graph button to access the Graph Editor.

2. Add Slides to the Script

• Click on  and drag it over to the area on the right
  This is the beginning of the Script Graph.
  Click and drag two more slides to the graph.

*This sample script has 3 slides. Depending on the script's level of complexity, there may be more or less.

• Rename each slide
  By default, all slides that are added to any script will be labeled "New Slide."
  
  

• Double click the "New Slide" text at the top of slide 1
• Type Welcome in the label text box
• Click  to save the new slide label

• Repeat this for the other 2 slides, naming them Caller Info and Goodbye.

•  Optional settings for your slides
• Add a description: 
  Click in the Enter a description... area and begin typing. Be sure to click the check mark when you are finished in order to save it.
• Change the slide color: 
  Click on the slide's down arrow button (top right) to bring up a list of colors. Once you make a selection, it will save automatically.
• Choose a new Start slide:
  By default, the first slide you add to the graph is designated as the Start slide. To change this on another slide, click its down arrow button and click on Start. There will only ever be one slide with this designation.

• Move the slide on the graph:
  Click and drag the slide's 4-direction arrow (top left) to move it. 

3. Connect the Slides

To make the slides flow from one to the next during the call, they must be connected in the Graph Editor.

• Locate theicon on the Welcome Slide
  

• Click and drag from theicon to the top of the Caller Info slide
  This creates a branch.
  To view the conditions of the branch, place your cursor over it and click on it. To view a more complete set of rules and options about branching, please see the article titled Slide Branching.

*This branching condition indicates that the Welcome slide always flows to the Caller Info slide.

*The first two slides are now connected. The Welcome slide is first, and indicated by a Play icon(bottom right) and the Caller Info slide is last, as indicated by a Stop icon.

 Connect the Third Slide

• Locate the icon on the Caller Info slide
  
  
• Click and drag from the icon to the top of the Goodbye slide
  This creates a branch between the Caller Info slide and the Goodbye slide.

*All three slides are now connected. The Welcome slide is first, and indicated by a Play icon (bottom right) and the Goodbye slide is now last, as indicated by a Stop icon. On this and any script, slides in between will show a Link icon .

4. Add Fields to the Slides

• Click on the wrench (top right, middle) to access the Welcome slide's settings
  
• Click on the  button on the left
  This adds it to the slide. The Paragraph field is now visible on the right and can be edited.

• Click the Paragraph field on the right
  This brings up the settings and editing area for the Paragraph. 

*The field that is selected for editing will appear outlined and shaded.

• Re-label the field by highlighting the "Paragraph" text in the Label field and typing Opening Statement
  This will re-label the field to make it unique.
  You can also place the cursor in the field and delete the text first.

*It is recommended that you establish a naming convention for the fields within your scripts beforehand. This will provide consistency across the platform, and allow for easy identification of key items.

• Highlight the default text in the Prompt area
  Type the following:  Thank you for calling in, I will be happy to send you a sample of our product. I just need to collect your contact information.
  
  This area utilizes a text editor and Rich Text Markdown to apply formatting. For styling tips and more information on the options this offers, please see the section titled Text Editor.

Disposition Slide

Dispositioning always occurs last in a script. This slide was not one that was added in the Graph Editor during the script building phase, but appears at the end of every script automatically (unless Auto Dispositioning is set) so that the agent can record the outcome of the call. 

Dispositions and Disposition Groups must be pre-defined before they can be added to a script. For more information on how to do this, how to rearrange existing dispositions or disposition groups within a script, or to set Auto Dispositioning, please see the section titled Dispositions.

To download a copy of this script, simply save the attached file and import it into your Home>>Scripts list. Detailed instructions on importing and exporting can be found in the section titled Importing/Exporting a Script.
