This guide explains how Finesse agents update their agent line location when using a hoteling (shared desk) phone on campus.
Agents who hotel (use a shared desk phone) must follow these steps at the beginning of each work shift.
For eligibility and prerequisites, see the NC State Business Continuity Tool/Remote Worker Tool.
Before You Begin
Log in to the myFinesse portal using your UnityID and Password.
Note: VPN is required to access the myFinesse interface.
Select the Hoteling Device
- On the home screen, select the Remote Working icon.
- On the Agent Device Configuration screen, select the appropriate hoteling/shared device from the Available Devices dropdown.
- Device names are predetermined by the call center supervisor.
If you do not see the correct hoteling device:
- A supervisor must log in to the myFinesse portal and revert the previous agent's device selection to Jabber.
- Once reverted, perform Step 1 again and select the appropriate device.
If the desk phone displays an agent line in Line 2, confirm it is your agent line before beginning your shift. If it is not correct, contact your supervisor.
Confirm Device Update
After selecting the hoteling device:
- Confirm that you want to update the location of your agent line.
Allow time for updates to complete:
- Agent line registration: up to 2 minutes
- Call recording sync: up to 10 minutes
Log In to Finesse
Once your agent line appears on the selected device, log in to the Finesse interface.
End of Shift - Important

This ensures the hoteling device is available for other agents.
