As an administrator, you can hide this message from the VIP end users—users who are prioritized and routed to the VIP support queue of agents. 

Important

Hiding the wait time and ticket creation messages is applicable only if the chat session is transferred to a support agent from chatbot. This is not applicable for Self Service Portal.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have BMC Virtual Chat credentials. 

To hide the default wait time message for VIP end users

  1. Log in to BMC Virtual Chat. 
  2. Select Virtual Chat Administration Console > Self Service Portal > Configuration
  3. From the list of entries, select System Configuration
  4. Create an overlay or open an existing overlay. 
  5. In the Configuration field, at the end of the existing text, add the following code:
    • If you want to hide the wait time message

      <showWaitingTimeMessageToVIPs>false</showWaitingTimeMessageToVIPs>

      This setting hides the following message:

      Please wait while I connect you to a support agent.
      You are queue number in line. Your estimated time is number minutes.

    • If you want to show only the Service Request ID and hide other ticket IDs

      <showIncidentMessageToVIPs>false</showIncidentMessageToVIPs>

      This setting hides the following message:

      Incident Incident number was associated to this chat.
