Bubble Forms & System Tray Icon
Do you like to keep a clean Desktop? The Bubble Forms & System Tray Icon allow you to keep the Agent Module hidden without sacrificing connectivity. Similar to Microsoft Outlook, small "bubbles" will pop up when you receive an instant message, when your phone rings, and/or when you change your status. These settings are adjustable to your needs. Minimizing the Agent Module to the System Tray will hide the Agent leaving a small icon in the tray. A menu is available to access common features such as messaging, status changing, and restoring the Agent module.

How to Upgrade
Upgrading can be achieved through one of the methods listed below. Administrative rights are required to perform the update. If presented with a warning during install, please contact your System Admin to complete the update.
- Click Help -> Check for Updates from your Agent Module. This will automatically download and install the latest version. This feature may not work in all locations due to network restrictions. If you receive an error regarding an incorrect username/password, please contact T-Metrics.
