IntroductionThe process of configuration and implementation of the LiveHelp server is divided into four stages, which are detailed below. The approximate time of configuration depends on the number of agents and domains to be managed, but for an average working environment configuration time must not exceed 5 minutes. 1. Domain configuration Through the dashboard you can access the domain administration section. The domain administration section is the starting point where domain configuration starts and where the chat option is available.

When you enter the domain administration section access is granted to all configured domains and from there you can perform several actions.

Add domain: Using the option "Add new" a new domain can be added, to add a new single domain you only require a domain and enable it for use.

Delete domain: The process of deleting a domain is very simple and only requires you to select the domain and click on the delete option.
