Important Notes

The samples and information below is provided without a warranty of any kind. This post is for informational purposes and coresystems ag assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions in the information provided.

Purpose

The Skype plugin allows to integrate the Skype functionality with the coresuite enterprise search.  The functionality provided are:

1.- INCOMING CALLS:  

a) Skype online number incoming Calls (SkypeIn™) / Incoming calls from public telephone network.
Whenever an incoming call to your personal Skype Online Number (SkypeIn™) is detected, this rule searches for a BP Contact registered in the system with the incoming phone number.  Once the BP Contact is detected the enterprise search searches for all the documents related to this BP Contact.
If no BP Contact is detected, the rule searches for a BP registered in the system with the incoming phone number.  Once the BP is detected the enterprise search searches for all the documents related to this Business Partner.

b) Skype Peer-to-Peer calls.
If the incoming call is coming from a Skype contact rather than a PSTN number, the Enterprise Search searches all the document related to such Skype Contact Name.

2.- OUTGOING CALLS:

a) Business Partner Contacts.
Via right click on a certain Business Partner Contact it is possible to start a Skype Call with this Business Partner Contact.  It is possible to call the Business Partner Contact using either his "Telephone 1" or "Mobile Phone" number.

b) Business Partner.
Via right click on a certain Business Partner it is possible to start a Skype Call with this Business Partner.  It is possible to call the Business Partner using his "Tel 1" number.

In the attach .zip file is included a .pdf file with more detail installation instructions.
