Introduction
x-bees Mobile app and the Web version share the same codebase and the same set of features.
Download the x-bees app by Wildix from Apple Store or Google Play market.
Mobile apps requirements
Android 9 or higher
iOS 15.1 or higher
Notes:
Access to the web version and mobile apps of x-bees is available starting from the x-bees-Basic subscription
Login
Log in using Google or Microsoft SSO
Make sure you are connected to the Wildix PBX:
Tap your user picture in the upper left-hand part of the screen
Under Settings, tap Connect to Wildix PBX
Make sure that the PBX domain name is entered into the field
Note: if you are not sure, what your Wildix PBX domain is, please check with your system administrator.
Upon first login, you are requested to provide necessary permissions, e.g. access to microphone, camera and allow notifications:
In case notifications are not allowed, after 2 days users are prompted to enable notification settings. If notifications remain disabled, there are subsequent reminders after 7 days and then every 14 days.
Settings
The Settings described below are available for the PBX users (for users connected to a Wildix PBX).
Tap your user picture to access Settings
User Picture
Tap your user picture to upload a new picture or use your camera to make a new one
User Status and Status message
To change the status, click Status under Availability. Then click on your current user status (e.g. Available) and select a new one
To set a status, click Set a status under Manage Statuses. Here you can indicate the message, select date and time to clear (optional), Save the status for future use and click Save to apply the changes
You can update a colleague’s presence status in the following ways:
Inbox tab: right-click or hover over the conversation with a colleague, click the More icon, and select Set presence status
Favorites / Contacts tab: hover over a contact, click the Presence status icon, and set the presence status
Notes:
The status message should be no longer than 100 characters
When busy in a conference, user status automatically changes to the default one (e.g. “in conference | until 14:00”)
To be able to change colleagues' presence statuses, user should have the ACL permission Can Modify presence
Presence status behavior
Online (green circle) - displayed when the user has an open x-bees tab and was active within the last 30 minutes
Last seen <time> ago (green outlined circle) - displayed when the user has an open x-bees tab and was active within the last 30 minutes
Last seen <time> ago - displayed when the user does not have an open x-bees or has an open x-bees tab and was active more than 30 minutes ago
Under Settings, tap Notifications and enable notifications for personal and group conversations.
Note, that Web and Mobile notifications are managed separately and there is no sync between them; to enable notifications on Web, consult x-bees Web User Guide
Here you can also manage notifications played when a conference starts. By default, it is enabled. Besides, in the Email notifications section you can disable emails with transcriptions and summaries of calls and meetings.
Note: Make sure you have enabled Notifications for x-bees in your phone settings.
Call forwarding settings
Under Settings, tap Calls and set up call forwarding rules for every Call class. You can set call forwarding rules for all statuses on the Default tab or customize call forwarding rules for Away or Busy statuses on the corresponding tabs:
Call timeout
On the Call class tab you can also set Call timeout. In case this option is enabled, the incoming call is terminated if there is no answer within a specified timeout.
Inbound services ("Contact center")
The contact center feature present in Wildix Collaboration is available in x-bees and allows you to view the available services (call groups) and dynamically log in/ log out from them:
Under Availability, proceed to Inbound services
Enable the switch next to Inbound service requests: the switch allows you to dynamically join the inbound services (call groups)
Under Inbound Services: enable those services (call groups from your PBX) that you would like to join as a call agent (in this menu you cannot change the status in services, to which you were added statically via WMS)
Integrations
On the Integrations screen, you can see the list of connected integrations and their status. Some integrations many need authorization. In this case, there is the button Activate in front of the relevant integrations. Integrations that are connected and do not require authorization are displayed as Active.
In case there is an integration that is not active for a user and requires authorisation, a notification pops up that leads to Settings -> Integrations tab, where the user can activate the integration. The notification is displayed when opening Info frame with inactive integrations or when using the search.
If you do not want the notifications to be displayed, in Settings -> Integrations, disable the option Allow notifications:
