What the App Tour is

The App Tour is a guided walkthrough built into the CTI Integration App. It runs inside the app itself: each step highlights a real control on your screen and explains what it does, in twenty short steps.

It is the fastest way for a new agent to get productive, and a useful refresher after an app update. Running the tour changes nothing — it only points things out.

How to start or restart the tour

Clear cache & sign out — sign out and clear locally stored app data. Logout — sign out only.

The 20 steps, one by one

Each step below gives the wording you see in the app, what the highlighted control is for, and what you can do with it.

Getting oriented

Steps 1–2 introduce the app and the strip of controls that stays with you on every screen.

Step 1 Welcome

Dialpad


“Take a quick tour of the Acefone India CTI Integration App, navigation, and key controls enabled for your build.” The tour opens on the Dialpad — the screen you land on after signing in. It introduces the app in 20 short steps and highlights each control on screen as it is explained. WHAT YOU CAN DO Select Next to move forward one step. Select Skip at any point to leave the tour and go straight to the app. Only the controls enabled for your account appear, so your tour may show fewer highlights than the full 20 steps describe.

Step 2 Extension bar

Dialpad — top bar


“Status and quick actions live here — including availability, portal sync, notifications, theme, quick logout.” The extension bar is the strip along the top of the app. It stays visible on every screen and holds the five controls you use most often during a shift. WHAT YOU CAN DO Availability — your current calling status. Sync from portal — pull your latest status from the portal. Notifications — history of in-app alerts. Theme — light or dark appearance. Quick logout — sign out in one click.

Step 5 Notifications

Extension bar


“Review toast history, copy details, or download a log when you need it.” In-app messages (toasts) appear briefly and then disappear. The notification bell keeps a record of them, so nothing is lost if you miss one. A badge shows how many are unread. WHAT YOU CAN DO Open the bell to read past notifications. Copy the details of a notification when you need to quote it. Download a log to attach to a support ticket — this is the quickest way to give our support team what they need.

Step 7 Quick logout

Extension bar

WHAT YOU CAN DO Click it at the end of your shift to release your extension. If you also want to clear locally stored app data, use Settings → Account → Clear cache & sign out instead.

Placing a call from the Dialpad

Steps 8–11 cover everything needed to dial out, in the order you would use it.

Step 8 Number field

Dialpad


“Type or paste a number, pick a country code, and clear with backspace.” The field at the top of the Dialpad is where the number you are about to dial is built up. It accepts typing, pasting and keypad input. WHAT YOU CAN DO Type a number, or paste one copied from anywhere else. Select the flag to choose a different country code. Use Backspace to correct the last digit, or hold to clear the field. Press Enter to dial directly.

Moving around the app

Steps 12–14 cover the four main sections and the two that hold your call and customer data.

Step 12 Navigation

Bottom bar


“Switch between Dialpad, History, Entities, Settings.” The four icons along the bottom are the main sections of the app. The highlighted icon is the section you are in. WHAT YOU CAN DO Dialpad — dial a number manually. History — past calls, search and redial. Entities — your CRM contacts, leads and accounts. Settings — profile, preferences and account actions.

Step 13 Call history

History


“Search past calls by number or name and redial from the list.” History lists your recent calls with direction, date, time and duration, newest first. Each row also offers a one-click redial. WHAT YOU CAN DO Search by number or by name using the field at the top. Select the green call icon on any row to redial that contact. Use the direction arrow and the OUTGOING / INCOMING tag to tell calls apart at a glance. Open the record link on a row to jump to the matching CRM record.

Step 14 CRM entities

Entities


“Browse contacts, leads, or accounts and start calls from records.” Entities brings your CRM records into the app, so you can call a customer without switching windows. The record type shown — for example End User, Lead, Contact or Account — depends on the CRM connected to your account. WHAT YOU CAN DO Use the type selector at the top to switch between the record types available to you. Search with exact name within the selected type to find a record. Select the green call icon on a record to dial it, with the call logged against that record. Use the refresh control if a record you expect is not listed yet. If the list appears to be stale do refresh.

Settings and preferences

Steps 15–19 cover the preferences you control yourself.

Step 15 Settings

Settings

It opens with your profile at the top, followed by grouped sections you can scroll through. WHAT YOU CAN DO Profile — the name and email your extension is signed in with. Calling, Sounds & alerts, Appearance — your working preferences. Rate & send feedback — tell us how the app is working for you. Account — Help & Support, Clear cache & sign out, Logout, and App Tour. Troubleshooting — App diagnostics, useful when raising a ticket.

Step 17 Sounds & alerts

Missed / rejected call sound — turn the alert for missed and rejected calls on or off. Select the information icon beside any option for a short explanation.

Step 19 Rate & send feedback

Finishing the tour

Step 20 closes the tour and tells you how to run it again.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run the tour more than once?

Yes. It is always available from Settings → Account → App Tour, and there is no limit on how often you can run it.

I skipped the tour by mistake. Is it gone?

No. Open Settings → Account → App Tour to start it again from Step 1.

My tour showed fewer highlights than this article describes. Why?

The tour only highlights the controls enabled for your account and your build. Options your administrator has not enabled — quick status switching, for example, or a second caller ID — are not shown.

Does the tour change any of my settings?

No. The tour only points at controls and explains them. Nothing is switched on, off or saved while it runs.

Can I move backwards through the steps?

Yes, using Back on any card except Step 1.

Where do I go if something in the app is not working?

Settings → Account → Help & Support. Attaching a notification log — from the bell on the extension bar — and the output of Settings → Troubleshooting → App diagnostics helps us resolve it faster.
