I just installed HCL recently and activated it for my onlineshop

Install was no problem at all, but since I am not an native english speaker, I do have some questions.

1. ) How am I in chat position?
When I go to the HCL admin and then on LiveHelp the Monitor opens
Then I have a list with all guests, for what exactly is the "Initiate" Function?

2. ) Is there a way to use HCL multilingual?

3. ) I really miss a documentation, the Install Guide is a start but nothing I would call a Documentation
I had already no idea what to pick at the Install process at some points, and after it I had also no idea what all the different menu points are for

Hope to get some help here, so I can finally use HCL :)

great support, thank you!

Hi Jasmin,

Have you checked out the live demo? That's how I found out how to use the software.  It's awesome!

The "Initiate" function allows you to begin a chat with a visitor.  Most often, visitors who have questions or need help will click the button to chat with you.  However, there may be times you want to initiate the chat first.

For example, when you enter a store, it's always nice if someone who works there comes up and says "May I help you with anything?".  This is what the initiate function is for.  Since the software allows you to monitor where visitors are on your site, an example of how to use this feature is as follows:

Let's say you notice someone clicking back and forth between to pages containing similar items.  This might indicate they're having trouble making up their mind which one to purchase.  You would initiate a chat with them, and ask them if there's anything you can help them with, or say something like "I've noticed you browsing Celine Dion's Greatest Hits & Celine Dion's Live CD.  May I help you make a choice between them or do you have any questions I can answer for you today?"

Hope this helps!

Talvenloppu is right,

The DEMO is currently not working.  It is possible someone figured to change the user/password for ADMIN.

In any event, we have asked the author to fix the DEMO access.  So check back in a 2-3 day period, in case he has a chance to fix it.

In the meantime, we are using the software with no glitches, and we are online for chat 8-10 hrs a day, so maybe you catch us on line for a Demo.  Or, send us a HelpTicket, is FREE, and will setup a time for DEMO and help if you like..

Or, perhaps you would like us to visit your chat to have a look see?  You would need to post the URL for that okay.

Best wishes.
