A new spell-checking engine has been introduced in our latest console release version 5.7.1. Hunspell Engine uses Open Office dictionaries, which we hope will give our customers more freedom in choosing the dictionary which is right just for them, or perhaps multiple dictionaries for those who command several languages.

All dictionaries are available for free download from OpenOffice.org website. Here is the exact link: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries

To install and activate the dictionary you have downloaded, from your operator console menu click Tools / Options / Spelling (Options / Spelling for Mac OS users) and select the radio button “Hunspell Engine“.

On the spell-checker settings screen you will have the option to add Open Office dictionary files (in .oxt or in .zip format) by selecting a path in the field “Look for Dictionaries in Directory” to the folder where they are stored on your computer. After selecting the folder with dictionaries, all available languages will appear in the “Working Languages” box. The picture you will see resembles the following:

Hunspell Spell-Checking Engine

Setting Up Hunspell Spell-Checker Dictionaries

In case you have your own custom dictionary, you can provide a path to it in Custom User Dictionary File field.

Make sure you have your language check-marked and click OK to confirm and save all changes.

Now you are good to go and check your spelling.

We hope with the new feature your writing will be smooth and flawless.

By the way, the new console can be downloaded at http://www.providesupport.com/downloads/index.html

How often do you check your real time monitoring results? I guess, hundreds of times during your business hours and I bet not only to see how many visitors are there on your website but also to check which pages they are browsing, where they came from and which key words they used.

From our side we have improved our Referrer column allowing you to find out at a glimpse whether your visitors came from social media platforms or search engines. New icons were added for social networks and search engines:

Referrer  icons

And what about Google advertising campaigns? Haven’t you always had a desire to check in real time if visitors came after clicking on your ads? google_ads icons in Referrer column will let you know about that. And google_secure_search icon will show that a visitor came after using Google secure search. Icons for different social media platforms will help you to determine how successful your social media marketing campaign is and if your  LinkedIn posts are read by network members.

5.7.2 beta version has improvements not only in Referrers recognition, but also offers updated user agent parser which recognizes more browsers and operation systems, including Windows 8 and browsers and operating systems used on mobile devices.

Regional settings updated with an extended list of supported time zones

Regional Time Zone Coverage for Live Chat

Regional Time Zone Coverage for Live Chat

Hello our readers!

We hope you are enjoying your day. We would like to spice it up with a piece of good news from Provide Support.

We have updated your Regional Settings screen to include more Time Zones. The full list is really impressive, almost a hundred Time Zone items! It will take a good deal of scrolling now to find yours. :)

Why we bothered about it?

This update has been implemented to address the issue with the incorrect time display  with the annual switch to Daylight Saving Time (DST), as well as to cover geographic locations which were previously missing from the list of supported time zones.

Why such a big list?

Due to specifics of legislation on daylight saving adopted in different counties and regions, many time zones representing the same time shift from GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) had to have more than one reference item on the list to reflect this difference in switching to daylight saving.

For example, within the Standard Mountain Time Zone, UTC-7:00, most of US and Canada switch to the summer time in March. Arizona is the only state to ignore the transition at all, while in Mexico they change their clocks for DST only in April. As a result, UTC-7:00 ended up on our list with 3 different entries:

(UTC-7:00) Arizona
(UTC-7:00) Chihuahua, La Paz, Mazatlan
(UTC-7:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)

And so it was like this with almost all time zones, which is why we found ourselves having such a huge list.

What exactly this means to you…

We hope that from now on all of you will have the correct time displayed on your chat transcripts all year round.

If you notice any discrepancies, please raise your voice and let us know. We really need your help and feedback on this.

Thanks for reading us!

2. Another minor update for ‘Operators and Departments‘ section – a possibility to assign operators to departments while creating a new department. It used to be very inconvenient to update each operator profile when creating a new department as all operator profiles were assigned automatically to it.

Google Analytics Integration

Provide Support is glad to announce new software improvements which have been implemented recently. They include not only new features but also server updates which make our service more stable and secure. Please take a look at the below features description.

Live Chat and Google Analytics Integration:

New feature of Google Analytics integration allows tracking as events initiated chat requests and sent offline messages. Two types of events are pushed to your Google Analytics account:

  • Chat Started – this event is pushed when a visitor fills out the pre-chat form and clicks ‘Start Chat’ button
  • Offline Message Sent – this event is pushed when a visitor sends an offline message

Pushed events are displayed in Real-Time / Events and  Behavior / Events sections of your GA report.

In addition to this it is possible to calculate Visitor Chat Messenger loads. This data can be checked in GA reports in Real-Time / Content and Behavior / Site Content sections as visits for the following URLs: /messenger/your-account-hash.html or /messenger/your-account-name.html

To enable events tracking you just need to follow Account Settings / Google Analytics Integration page and insert your GA tracking ID there.

Web Based Operator Console Updates

The simplified browser based version of the operator console has been also updated with new features:

  • Possibility to change console status from online to away. If an operator changes the console status to away, he / she will appear offline to website visitors and will not receive new chat calls, but will be able to finish all active chats.
  • File transfer feature. Operators can transfer files up to 100 MB from the web based console.
  • Possibility to add a greeting message when sending a chat invitation. When you send a chat invitation, you can type a greeting message which will make your invitation more personal and increase a probability that it will be accepted
