Configuration

Description

SideBar shares the configuration namespace '_genesys.widgets.sidebar'. SideBar has UI options to handle the position of sidebar on the screen, disable expand feature sidebar, hide sidebar and add new channels on the fly. The display of channels order is based on the order defined in channels configuration array.

Example

window._genesys.widgets.sidebar = {

	showOnStartup: true,

	position: 'left',

	expandOnHover: true,

	channels: [{

			name: 'ChannelSelector', 
			clickCommand: 'ChannelSelector.open', 
			clickOptions: {}, 

			 //use your own static string or i18n query string for the below two display properties
			displayName: 'Live Assist', 
			displayTitle: 'Get live help',

			icon: 'agent'
		}, 

		{
			name: 'Offers', 
			displayName: '@i18n:sidebar.OffersName', 
			displayTitle: '@i18n:sidebar.OffersName' 
		}, 

		{
