Click Accept to acknowledge that you have read the information and agree to abide by the restrictions detailed there.

Do not show this again check box.
Click Reject to acknowledge that you have read the information but do not agree to abide by the restrictions detailed there. The Genesys Desktop application exits.

Genesys Desktop employs two login windows.
Use the first window to log in to the Genesys Desktop Server.
Use the second window to register your workstation with the channels (media types) that you want to use.
The appearance and content of the second window depends on your environment and how you are configured as an agent.
For example, a Voice-only agent will see only a single channel, while a Voice-and-Multimedia agent might see a window similar to the one shown in Step 1 below.
In the first login window (see Launching the Genesys Desktop Application), click Next.
A second login window appears.
Select the multimedia channel(s) that you want to use during your session (for example, voice, e-mail, chat, IM, fax, and/or SMS).
Note: The channels that you select here are saved in your person Annex, and are set as the defaults the next time you log in to Genesys Desktop.
Note: The Genesys Desktop configuration determines which channels are displayed.
Note: If you are configured for Instant Messaging, the Instant Message (im) channel might appear beside the Voice channel or it might appear as a separate entry that might require a separate login, password, and queue.
For a voice session, enter your agent login ID, agent password, and the queue number. See your system administrator for this information.
Click Submit to register your workstation, or Previous if you want to modify the information that you entered in the first login window.
Note: After you log in to Genesys Desktop for the first time, you can just click Submit in the first login window to be logged in, unless you want to open a voice session.
